Can anyone recall who it is that was selling bike chain at Stafford last year? For the last few years I've been going there is always a small table-top stand with a guy & woman rivetting chain links etc.. I'm after a new 630-092 'O-Ring' chain for a mates Z900 and found this company offering the...

Where are you M8? I'm located West London and can probably sort it at my place.

Great looking bike. That Blue colour scheme is beginning to grow on me.

As said previously. the manual is very detailed wrt valve/valve seat data, but also make sure you check p171 (I think) this gives the table of how much the valve shaft should extend into the head and whether the stem would need regrinding.

No.. His english is terrible....

I've had two crakcs at getting a long mudguard re-chromed and both failed miserably so I bought NOS. I would give this geezer Jack shxt though! He charged, or tried to, ?126 for a shite job, needless to say he's probably still got it LOL.

Ok looked it up. I notice the Tensile Strength of the 530 is 2900Kgf Vs 4000Kgf of the STD chain. Isn't going to look like a large bicycle chain alongside a STD one?

Ok, so what is the pitch of the 5xx chain

Can you actually fit the 16 or 17 tooth front sprocket into the space with a chain on? I would have though its larger diameter would then have the chain cutting into the inner chain/sprocket backplate.

Nice if it works though.

These were on all 1972/73 Z1's and on early Z1a's.

Oops.. As Jeff says, however, this tang usually snaps where it's screwed down and remains fixed firmly to the barrel block and the rest of this centre guide is a sort of strong plastic isn't it? So this defo needs further investigation.. Good luck.. Its not the bit that is stuck to the end of the ca...

Iain,
Thanks for that tip. Just had a call from my M8 who funnily enough got them from Beezees, I thought Bernard had wound his business up.

Anyone know where I can buy a pair of rear shock absorber bushes
Pt 45017-011 These are the lower ones. I've tried ZedPower & Z1 Enterprize but NLA.

Have you done a compression/leakdown test on this engine? If so what were the readings? Another option to consider before you spend a fortune on Wiseco etc is to have the bores examined, re- X honed and use a new set of STD rings.

Therefor a KZ900....It will never be a Z900... LOL
