Pingel, Suzuki performance spares, or grumpy 1260, both sell through fleebay.

I am not one for the stretched look, but I like every thing else about this bike, that's a cracking paint job and great work, hats off Ian.

According to which particular 26's the jets will be different, running pods air corrector are available from Rob Meggitt (zed1015) on here.

Don't pull the lever all the way to the bar and pull just over half way and release slowly, been using this method to get the last bits of air out for years, longest I've ever spent is around 40 minutes doing this job.

You could make a scrambler with them

Frame rear footrest and exhaust hangers are different to the A series thous, the Ltd's are more akin to the earlier 900 models, it's all academic unless your a total rivet counter.

RussG wrote:What’s changed to convert from an ltd?

On this one rear wheel and mudguard, front mudguard, seat and grabrail, headlight ears, handlebars, front master cylinder, rear caliper, tank, exhaust, possibly some other bits, but it looks bloody nice any way, my own ltd is further away from stock.

As title says i am looking for a Guilari style seat for my 78 thou, must be good,beer tokens ready.

I think first you need to make sure valve settings and other basic settings are correct, then make sure what model carbs you have, then we can give you some base settings for it, are you running an original airbox?

The carbs look to be 28mm, and the head is a Z1 classic head so would have been fuel injection, i had one myself but the injection was a pain so i got converted to carbs, looks like the original seat has gone as it would of been stepped and bloody ugly.

Good question

Do you have one to show?

Hopefully my z1000 ltd 1978 will be on the road by then???
I do hope so.

My is/was a LTD but a long way from stock and show standard.

A stock Z1000 stand will fit.

On the odd occasion it happens and it's down to when I park up without running the fuel ot of carbs with tap off, but years ago I had the same thing with another Z and it took a couple of years to solve, I put a stock exhaust on it and it never happened again.

It does look and smell like smoke to be fair.

There will be a lot of water in that motad if it's not been having good runs to dry it out inside, the condensation will smell of smoke, after all it has exhaust gasses in it.

white is condensation, blue is oil and black is fuel.
