Thanks Phillipe that's really helpful advice - Looking at Dyna Elec systems so do you know if the Dyna S or Dyna 2000 would be best option for my Z1000 ? Thanks Alan

Ok got it thanks - Whilst not failed yet, I think my stock coils/leads etc are prob all original and I know are prone to fail - Bike has done c14k miles only but how long do stock coils normally last before problems start emerging ? Also I'm now thinking of biting the bullet and upgrading the igniti...

Ok Cheers - So what are the leads I see advertised which appear to plug into the coil ?

Thinking of replacing the leads/caps on my 79 Z1000 A2. - Excuse my thickness but with the tank removed, can the existing leads simply be unplugged from the coils or are they fixed to the coils ? Also will both Taylor and Dyna 8mm Leads connect to my coils and what's the difference ? Cheers all.

Hi all - Changed oil and filter on my 79 Z1000 but appears I have slightly overfilled as just over top line in sight glass - Can/should I remove a little by using a length of tube and symphon/suck out through the oil filler cap hole ?

in Oz - No why ?

Nice sunny day so took her out for a while - Cheers all.

Other than the usual Autosol etc, what's the best trick for cleaning the down pipes on my Z1000 4 into 1 system - It's particularly the underneath of the pipes where it is difficult to get to that needs attention - Seen YouTube clips etc on using bleach products like Harpic 10 etc - Has anyone used ...

Thanks Gonzo - Not sure about pipe as was on it when I got it but thought it might be an Alpha ?

And another for good measure
