Shim buckets
I am having my cylinder head (Z1B) changed from shim under bucket to shim on top, does anyone have a set to sell? The buckets and associated parts.

Rickman inner tube
I need to replace the tires on my Rickman. It has Avons on there at present 100/90/v18 front and 120/90/v18 rear.
The wheels are 5 spoke ronal 2.15 front and rear, with a manufactures date of 1977 stamped in them.
The tires at present have tubes in them, what are the correct tubes to use?

Rickman
This is my Rickman, which i have owned for a number of years. It needs partial reassembly, new tires, brake seals etc.
This is the finished engine freshly rebuilt, it has omega pistons gas flowed head and big valves.
I will post more pictures as work progresses.

Re: Z 1000 St E2
Hi Philippe
The problem is there is an oil leak on the base gasket, which after this test ride is not as bad as it was. If i have to change the gasket, i may as well address the compression issue at the same time. The bike does appear to be running well though.

Re: Z 1000 St E2
Took the bike for test ride after replacing the Z1B carbs, with 28mm accelerator pump carbs off a LTD. A big improvement was found and the revs holding after shutoff has gone. IMG_6204.JPG So one problem solved. We did a compression test on the hot engine after the test run. No: 1 145 PSI No: 2 133P...

Re: Z 1000 St E2
Yes you are quite correct. What he is trying to say is that he had a problem with a set of carbs not returning to idle. These were bought off a another club member, advertised as being from an american KZ 1000 ST. It turns out they were off a KZ 1000LTD B4 accelerator pump type. What we did to fix t...

Re: Z 1000 St E2
It looks like i will have to do a top end strip to replace the base gasket and establish why it leaked in the first place.
What are the best base gaskets to use, the one on there now is an athena. Are cometic base gaskets ok or are genuine
kawasaki best to use.

Re: Z 1000 St E2
After re torquing cylinder head, i took the bike out for a run and the base gasket is still leaking.
This is a close up.
Has anyone torqued theses engines more than the specified torque to cure this?
