Re: Running rich on start-up

My J does this if I leave the juice on when it's on the sidestand as it leans quite a way and as such causes the floats to drop.

Re: Running rich on start-up

Just a thought, do you close the petcock when you park up, if so, is the petcock fully cutting off fuel supply when in off position?

Motorcycle design reached its peak in the 1970's and Z1 / Z900's are as good as it ever got. Great pictures :D

It's spiral bound and has all the info I need, I have a s/h Haynes I got off of eBay for a couple of quid. Between the two they cover most things. If ...

My Z1B has started to momentarily jump out of third gear. I am thinking maybe selector fork problem.

Any advice would be ...
