Or, you could get Maxton units custom made to suit. They do older style units that they can make the length you want with the benefits of custom adjustable damping, etc to suit your bike, your weight & use. Wouldn't imagine that would be any more expensive than a pair of off-the-shelf Ohlins or ...

8980190_orig.jpg Looking at this picture I found it looks like you cannot remove the kickstart shaft without splitting the cases, but you may well be able to get the spring out and/or refit it it if has become dislodged. There is also a "positive stop" mechansim , which should stop the ki...

I think if you remove the kickstart lever followed by the four screws securing the cover in place you might be able to draw out the shaft. It's possible the spring has either broken or one end has come out of it's locating position. You might be able to re-secure the spring without having to split t...

Well done that man, always a great relief to get broken bolts like that out without causing any more damage or having to take it to an engineering place !!
Glad you got it sorted

Andrew_s, ignore them two, they're just taking the mick. That H****y is the same as this one

Without the sprocket holding tool, or if you're using a front sprocket without the holes in it for the tool to locate in, I would suggest the most obvious method would be to fit your new engine sprocket, (or old one if just refitting existing parts) & fit the tab washer followed by the nut &...

I was alerted to this seller on another forum I frequent for an Italian make ! There's guy's on there keeping a watch for him & bidding his sales up to rediculous levels to try & alert people. Some of them have tried to go through the motions of buying a bike, (although he does also sell boa...

He/she has hundreds of so called bikes he/she is acting on behalf of.
Some that have large bids on, like this one, are being bid up by people wise to the scam.

Relevant enough for me, always good to see photos of Zed related things.

Good luck with the quest !

The best thing to do is to put a straight edge across the rear sprocket & see how that sprocket aligns with the engine sprocket. That will tell you if & how much either sprocket may need spacing & which way.
This will be easier too without the chain being fitted.

Are 7mm and 5mm discs made from different material? If not, why shouldn't 7mm discs be ground to the smaller 5mm wear limit ? Potentially you could, but there might be issues regarding the hardening of the disc. I'm assuming the disc goes through some sort of heat treatment process to give the disc...

It will if, for example an inlet valve is open & he turns the exhaust camshaft. It's possible to open an exhaust valve onto an open inlet valve, or vice versa.

Some words from Ray, I have to start by saying I have never done anything like this before. So it was all new to me. All I had to go by was my Z1a, Which you find out is no good , when it comes to the electrics ( on different sides) So it was over to my mate, Martin in Hull (Prowler Z1) Who was goin...

Some more pictures from Zedi Knight,

No mate, wasn't me ! Time-Serts will be available in most thread sizes & pitche options. The thing to remember is if you state to an engineering place you want a M8 Time-Sert fitting, unless you specify the pitch they will most likely just fit the standard 1.25 pitch, not the more unusal pitch o...
