Re: Indicator rechroming
Gav, hi Just had my Z1000A1 petrol filler cap re-chromed (and its made of best quality monkey metal): went in looking well tired and came back shiny and new. The chromer said the end product might not be perfect, but it turned out very nice. The guy I use is based in Hinckley: might be worth a call ...

1977 Z1000A1 Carb Sync query
Guys, trying to fettle my A1 and a job I need to do is sync / balance the carbs.
Last bike I did was a Z1300 and was advised to aim for between 18 - 25 in / hg
Is there a recognised target range to aim for with a totally standard Zed thou carb set up ?
Any advice appreciated - Cheers Tim

Re: My Z1000A1 - 99% done
Managed to sort the rear light bracket and number plate positioning and have put UK spec rear shocks on her - I'm pleased as those little changes makes the bike look better. Re exhausts heat shields - I tried to fit the pair of standard heat shields off my old knackered exhausts and could not get th...

My Z1000A1 - 99% done
Today I wheeled my Z1000A1 resto out of the garage for the first time in 18 months - hopefully the shake down runs (when permitted) wont produce too many gremlins. Tried to keep her as original as I could, all chrome is original except the "Busso Pipes" grab rail and Petrol filler cap (whi...

Re: Seized sump drain plug!
Andrew, had same issue with both a Z13 and my Z900 - only one year after doing an oil / filter change. I tried a little penetrating oil, heat and an extension bar but there was more chance of the bike toppling over than the 17mm plug coming free. I know you said you did not want to go near the impac...

Re: How do I use the valve shim tool?
Hi,I bought a Z Power tool a few months ago to do the shims on my Z1000A1. Initially it would not reach the valve lifter, but a mate told me to remove the cam cover gasket (which being mean, I was trying to preserve :oops: ) - and that little bit of clearance made the difference, let it seat correct...
