This, I had a KE125 that sheared woodruff keys because the taper was worn on the flywheel, even two strokes don't like random variable ignition timing

I've got a YSS on my FZ750 - very good for the money.
The original Zephyr shocks are good though, I bought a set of 750 ones off eBay for £90

Chains do stretch, thats why there's a figure (service limit) to compare new vs old, but tbh, the rollers also get shagged :lol: So you're saying the plates get longer with use, anything else is wear on the moving parts, which makes the chain have a longer measured length. BTW my Unitrak camchain w...

1. Chains don't stretch the rollers wear
2. Splitting the crankcases isn't that difficult on a Z engine
3. If you do decide to split the cases, it's much easier with two people
4. The crank is bloody heavy

Take the timing casing off (rh side) if it's got mechanical advance mechanism it's a J type engine (GPZ1100B1/B2) if it's got no advance mechanism it's a Unitrak (advance is electronic)
Yours looks like a B2 engine though.

Hi Dave, I've got a Tom Forde conversion bracket, it uses a ZXR750J2 slave cylinder and I've got a ZX9r master cylinder, but the bracket doesn't do anything a flat plate of ally wouldn't do so long as the holes were in the right places, you'd need to hold the plate on with long M6 bolts, but this is...

You can get new from Delkevic or Kerker

I've made some room now by reassembling my Z, I just need some switchgear for it now, which I thought I had but can't find......

Julian, are you sure you have it? I have a selection of foot rest mounts and a swinging arm(no chain adjuster blocks). If they are the same as a j. Rob If it's not at mine it's at yours, I thought you threw it at me the other day :D poxy thing, it takes up a load of room, and still haven't found th...

Is the airbox the same as a Z1000J one, if so I've got one I don't want

J head is the same apart from the inlet tracts

It'll probably be the same as a Z1000J, left hand side, through the tunnel in the tank and then between the forks and the steering head

Yeah, I suppose purple metal flake would look okay.

ZZR1100 sprockets fit and have about 14mm of offset
Exhaust wise I think you can get Delkevic, Kerker or Hindle new.
