Warren...good idea in theory but I only have one original coil (the other disappeared in the passage of time). Is it OK to run one original coil and one Dyna S?

Got the bike home Friday and today I did a quick visual inspection of the ignition wiring...no obvious breaks or chafing on the insulation. Took both coils off for a visual inspection and then tested. My multi-meter and test lead combo registers about 0.7Ω internal resistance. Coil 2/3 looks fine wi...

I'm assuming it's been fitted correctly as I did it myself in 2021 and I've had no issue with it up to now. The 10A fuse is inline betyween the battery + terminal and pin 30 on the relay. Pin 87 on the relay supplies power to the coils. The 30/87 circuit in the relay is the high-voltage circuit. It'...

Warren...I didn't manage to get that far having only one fuse left. I will try a more exhaustive approach over the weekend when I get it back home. Many thanks to all for all the advice so far. Watch this space!

Update:Apologies but I actually posted some duff info in my OP. As it was dark and I was knackered after a 4 mile walk carrying my bike gear to get to the nearest Halfords for a fuse (which I thought was the only issue) I thought the fuse was intact, hence suspecting the relay. I returned to the bik...

On the way to Poole Quay Bike Night last night the Z1-B decided to go bleurghhh at a set of lights in Poole (nearly 40 miles from home). I managed to get it into a side street to check and on cursory examination found a blown 10a fuse (I have the "Wired George" mod and it was the 10a fuse ...

Haydn, Fair enough. I also have a Z1-B which I've owned from new (bought May 1st 1975) although it was in pieces for 43 years. I think the general opinion is that they are the best of the Z1's to ride although not maybe the most desirable to own. Pic of mine attached (although a UK bike it's fitted ...

Just interested in why you would swap a UK Z1-A with a USA Z1-B?

Cheers guys. Many thanks.

Anyone know what this clock is from (I'm assuming it's an early Z but not before 1977).

TIA

If the brass parts on the carbs are in good condition refit them as although the Keyster's are probably the best replacements viz. quality the originals are always best. Also, if not already done get the choke plunger seals replaced or you will be running on choke all the time. PM Rob Meggitt (zed10...

Not for someone with half a brain, as I managed to bugger it up twice!

Would not consider myself an expert but have recently (2020/2021) rebuilt my Z1-B from the frame up so would be happy to help. Also have a few tools which might help (Kawasaki ring compressor etc).

I'm in Chandlers Ford so about 25 to 30 mins away from Portsmouth.

Good luck with the rebuild.

Hello, good evening and welcome.

Pics, pics, pics, pics, pics.

Did I mention we need to see some pics?
