How the hell do you bleed these buggers ! I have a Z1B with Hydraulic clutch running Ducati controls , looks great with polished levers but does anybody know how the hell you bleed these. Think the Hydraulic set up is easier if working properly but they are a bugger to bleed . I believe Deben did th...

CLUTCH SLIPPING WRONG OIL ?

Have 2 bikes with issues ( KZ900 and Z1A ) both bought and serviced just prior to my purchase from Cornish Tony suffering from Clutch slippage . I think this is too much of a coincidence and the wrong ( synthetic ) oil has been used. Neither of the bikes suffered this when first ridden but it has gr...

Wise choice with Dyna's , think you have to just check the resistance levels on the coils, best make sure you are getting the right ones as there are a few types ! As for your caps I think the metal ones fit but again worth clarifying ...I am sure Dave at Z power will know and you can look forward t...

No Too!

I just replaced my 72's with dyna's, suggest you do the same a it runs and starts much better . You can't tell it's not original as they are hidden anyway and after 35 years they have done their time !

keep the originals in a box for the purists though !

good luck

Cheers

"Zince would that be Philip Mc Callen in Ireland?"

Davy you are absolutely right mate...not exactly local to me but the prices are good so might suit you when you need a set !

I just got quoted 220 quid per set fitted by my local dealer .

Hi Geoff

Happy new year !

No doubt see you at the bar on some of the Sundays mentioned but as usual can't guarantee to make all the dates due to other commitments.

Will see you at the first one so long as it's not snowing .

All the best

Hi Geoff Hope you are well despite the lack of biking weather , although lets be honest the summer was not much better! I am unlikely to make the meet as I am in Austria at the KTM factory on friday , picking up a vehicle and driving it back. Don't see myself being back for Sunday given I am going t...

Hi Shrekkie

I know Geoff and Chris not about so I think perhaps best leave it for another day as I am away this weekend too.


Perhaps a ride and meet another weekend in October if we can get enough interest.

Cheers
