You b*gg*r, thats a nice example

Only photo I've got,

Well, I purchased a nice little Baby Zed last night :!: Last owner had it for 20 yrs :shock: Got box of spares (raask rearsets, std seat, std rear mudguard, Centre stand, Kawasaki Manual, spare engine less barrels & head, etc). Has a rattly cam chain but runs OK, honed & new rings, good pain...

I'm up for it Noel, Saturday best for me, WEATHER DEPENDING

Best way is to use a small 'easy-out' stud extractor! One of those things with a thread that goes the 'wrong way' so as you screw it in, it tightens up on the hollow nipple (snigger) and as its being turned anti-clockwise, the tighter it gets, the more UNSCREWING force it puts on the nipple :wink: N...

A VERY IMPORTANT NOTE IS THAT THE OIL PUMP MESH IS PRONE TO GETTING BUNGED UP. IF THE ENGINE HASN'T BEEN APART FOR A FEW YEARS AND EVEN BEEN LEFT STANDING FOR LONG PERIODS, ITS WELL WORTH JUST DROPPING THE SUMP (EASY & CAN BE DONE IN FRAME) AND INSPECT & CLEAN MESH :shock:

Cheers guys!
Rich, can I locate some 'ready-to-fit' steel buttons, or do i just get some rod cut
Any idea on size (diameter rod & length of cut buttons)

When I rebuilt my Z1A with a 1015 Wiseco, I replaced the barrels single handed with a fair bit of patience, oil and support of the barrels with wooden chocks. Took a long hour or so! As everyone rightly says, the oversize boring removes lots/most/all of the bore chamfer. This can easily be machine b...

Thanks for that tip Jeff, sounds like good advice. I'm gonna get a needle bearing, mushroom lifter from Steve (Debben) and would be happy for any DETAILED information/advice on Jeffs comments above for strengthening the end pressure plate. :| Where can i get hold of teflon buttons or similar (nylon...

This is turning into a SEXIST debate :?: I must admit, it is widely accept throughout the EXPERT motorcycle community the the Zed is the KING (long live the King) :!: So, I must agree with Spiny, that a Zed is MALE :? This is conclusive evidence for the non-believers, the Zed is King, and it is poss...

Just got hold of an MRE lock up clutch kit from USA (eBay)

Anyone got any tips about fitment

Seems quite straight forward, already got proper casing cover so won't foul

Any advice welcome before i try and start to set it up

Agree with above! Ride it normally, but don't thrash the arse off it for first few hundred miles. Use common sense and just treat engine with respect, warm up well and be sensible, listen to the motor talk to you :wink: Gradually increase 'hard use' after a few hundred, but NEVER labour engine! &qu...

I still reckon thats ACE

Sorrty, but woosed out, the BOSS made me take her & the dog for walkies in Lyme Regis as it was nice weather
