took delivery of the Z1R from the US this week. I had noticed that it didn't have the spring loaded seat lock cover so i had order one in preparation.
Can anyone help with a picture from underneath of one that is installed.
The spring seems to be too long and although i can get it located over the cover spigot, tension the spring and lock it into the forked end of the spigot, when i compress it it just springs back out!

Can anyone help?

Hi rpeters
you have to insert the spring and close the two forks by bending them carefully! It's a one way ticket so do it correct the first time!
If you want to open the fork again one of the legs will probably break off...
Good luck

do you have Tony Sculpher Z1R book page 139 Tail piece lock cover installation with pics on page 140

he says this not covered in any Kawasaki Manuals he has a step by step guide to how to do it

not sure i should post pic's of the page PM me if you need more help

Thanks guys, also seem to be missing the air filter box under seat, any pics ? Or links?

Hi Rob
do you mean the complete air filter box or only the silencer?
If it's the silencer, it looks the same as the one from a Z1000A1 or A2 or A3 ...
Pretty easy to find pictures on the web, just go for it.
