I have been using Star Tron in my fuel for last 6 years without any issues including on occasion E10 fuel where not able to get Esso and it’s not been started for several months. I choose star tron as in USA it has good reports from boat owners and grass mowers where they don’t use them in winter pe...

Nice day for it later in the morning, and plenty of nice Zeds !

I have used star brite star tron additive for a good few years and seems to work fine - in USA the marine industry seem to use it and petrol lawn mowers over the winter season
I started bike no problem after 8 months - worth reading about
You can get it from several suppliers in Amazon

Hi Steve,

Welcome, nice Z1000.

Very nice Neil

The engine is looking seriously impressive already

Nice morning at Ace Cafe today and the sun shone !

Good to meet with some guys from the forum and see all the great bikes being ridden.

Hi Mark, On a single pingel it is not very much at all and I am not sure how consistent they are - I have seen one person say like under 10 miles - I have done 20 careful miles on reserve and when filled up I calculated that there was very very little left to go - always meant to run it dry to reall...

Hi Steve, I have 17 inch Kawasaki ZX9RC wheels fitted and Originally with Dunlop sports mart - I did not realise that the rear at 180/55 was actually wider than 180 until the shop àdvised me that in adjusting the chain they found on laser aligning, the wheel was slightly off set to clear the chain(...

I have z900 bored to 1015 with high compression - CR31 carbs and never any issues starting - it has standard starter but battery ...

Nice attention to detail - looking really good
Thanks for posting link on wiring boot - and pictures before and after - exactly what I need too !

Very nice engine blasting/coating looks good

The quickest restoration ever in one evening!

Would be interesting to know how you determined which way to go - re coat or new part etc.

Very nicely coming along Steve, my outrigger is much more exposed from the side and I find that the lube does not tend to fling up towards starter as S13 advises however it does fling downwards but not that you really noticed as it seems to nicely clump up and with all parts in the area being black ...

Alternatively you may wish to consider billet adjustable side stand that the likes of Japan weblike do and Saisei in UK may be able to get for you - more expensive for sure, however you can adjust to suit your exact lean requirements if that is a deciding factor

Hi Pigford, Thanks I have been using star tron enzyme fuel additive this year (stabilises fuel if water in, improved starting etc. ) not sure if it works but bike has been running fine - I use it as the tank had slight surface rust inside I usually use Shell or BP but recently have topped up with lo...
