Yes i agree a very underrated zed.
Mike was your ST a UK bike and are the handlebars standard?

Took the ST for another shake down run today, up to 400miles. Engine starting to loosen up.
Oil is leaking from the top of one of the fork tops.

Passed mot, fork seal starting to leak.

Thanks Philippe.

Checkin torqe settings for mot Monday. Rear spindle was in wrong way round.
Have corrected this, working my way through rest of bike.

I removed the Boyer Bransden and refitted as per instructions. It says to set the full advance at 5000rpm, with a strobe.
I will get a couple of hundred miles on the engine first.


The startup went a lot smoother this time. It cannot be far off.

First start up successful.
The ignition needs setting up, it is a boyer bransden and some new fuel pipe.

Another one saved!

Carbs fitted.

Choke plunger seats were replaced by Zed 1015 arrived this morning, refit these then refit carbs to bike.

Cleaned up pressure switch. Light now functioning.

Filled engine with oil, the oil light is not working on further inspection the switch is not working.

Very smart.

looking good Philippe.
I nearly bought one of these new but ended up with a Gpz 750 Turbo as could not afford the insurance.

Fitted the exhaust, enough for today.
