Re: Z1100R/Z1000R QUERY
Thanks for the helpful replies and PM from Dave, as the bike was booked in for an MOT today and chose now to lose fluid, I had taken a chance and ordered a Tourmax repair kit which arrived yesterday. Googling its part number MSR-401, it seems to be listed on various parts sites as fitting just abou...

I'd agree with your figures with the exception of the 77 Z1000. I'd say that's more like £8k.
Probably right Nigel. Impossible to predict asking prices these days even more so what the fetch.

Re: Valve stem oil seals and valve seal conditioners
I have given up trying to figure out what bikes are worth these days.. For Mint original bikes, asking prices seem to be:- 73 Z1 Upto £30k 74 Z1A/B Upto £20k 76 Z900 A4 Upto £14k 77 Z1000 A1 Upto £10k Of course these are asking prices it does not mean this is what they go for. Also specials are not ...

Re: Valve stem oil seals and valve seal conditioners
So all, is a bit of smoke on start-up acceptable? And how do I pitch this on a potential sale? It's not using / burning any oil, and it goes away the minute you pull away when warm, and pulls like a train (Wiseco 1075 & VM 29 Smoothbores). I'm probably going to sell the bike on Ebay, or I might...

Re: Exhaust temps?
Cheers for the reply.I haven't swapped 1 and 4 because I've got the old coils with the permanently connected HT leads, lead 1 won't reach to no.4. What I have done is a resistance check on primary and secondary windings using the workshop manual and all was good. As mentioned I've also swapped the ...

Re: Valve stem oil seals and valve seal conditioners
APE stem seals are made of FKM (Viton) which has a shelf life of 20 years compared to other materials with a shelf life of 5 - 10 years. It is possible that the valve stems have lost surface oil if stood for a period resulting in seal damage on start up. Replacement seals is your only option I am af...

Re: Exhaust temps?
If you have swapped 1 and 4 leads over and found no difference I would agree that it seems to pointing towards a fuel issue. I would start by checking carb balance.
