Where's Jimmock when you need him......he would know the right size of plug for every hole....

Anyway, anybody know the size of the thread??

Great run and a very worthy cause.....even had brilliant weather for it

Can anyone tell me the size of the thread on the fuel tap spigot on a Z1 tank? I want to get a cap for one so I can use the coke and harpic clean.

Thanks, Steve

I find the parts diagrams very useful when putting dismantled bits back as they should be.

You can find them here with loads of other useful stuff:

Too right Mark.....spent this afternoon polishing my Zed in the garden wearing just my mankini..........

Has anyone used these caliper rebuild kits ?

Anygood?

I've got those on long stems also. They are virtually identical to the original Kawasaki items, only difference is a slightly rougher finish on the back. I put foam in the back of mine just to make sure and they are rock steady at any legal speed Wink I think the right hand mirror is a new genuine K...

I have emailed him the details.

It may be a bit too fast for him as the early ones were quicker !!

Went to the Revival today and spotted this bargain. It's a Peugeot with a really small radial engine . Brilliant, but not sure it's worth £100K :shock: http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f99/wheelysteve1/20160911_113107_zpso2audqll.jpg http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f99/wheelysteve1/20160911_1131...

I seem to have minimised the distortion by taking all the sharp edges from the underside of the bolt heads (new bolts used), and polishing them on my buffing wheel. A bit of oil and gradual tightening and they are tight. In the Clymer book it states the the torque setting for the disc bolts at 30 fo...

I haven't tried the impact wrench.....I'll give that a go.

Thanks for the offer.

Did you have any luck getting round this Steve?

I've got the same issue but haven't figured a way of not twisting the lock washers. They are the same thickness as the ones I removed ( but are not Kawasaki items).

Fitting a twin disc system to one of the Zeds. As I can't get the brake switch out of the single splitter, I've got to fit a new one.

My question: is it necessary to use any thread sealant/tape on the switch thread before screwing it into the splitter?

Cheers, Steve

I've got 3 Z1B's and the numbers are 16, 102 and 210 apart !

A difference of 230 would probably be right.
