Re: Z 1000 St E2
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.

Just set it at the stated 5000 rpm now - that won't do any harm in a fresh motor, especially as it won't be under load, wrong ignition timing is more damaging.
Looks good by the way!
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!
Re: Z 1000 St E2
Checkin torqe settings for mot Monday. Rear spindle was in wrong way round.
Have corrected this, working my way through rest of bike.

Thanks Philippe.
Re: Z 1000 St E2
Passed mot, fork seal starting to leak.
Re: Z 1000 St E2
Hi Dunlop 4
congratulations that your bike passed the MOT.
Are you sure that the fork stanchion has no pitting, that causes the fork seals to leak, even after a short time.
Hope you can find a solution for it and that you can enjoy your ST.

Re: Z 1000 St E2
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.

Re: Z 1000 St E2
Cracking looking bike
These are so under rated as a Zed
Really pull well and look the part

way too many Zeds
Re: Z 1000 St E2
Agree with Paul, they're an under-rated Zed.
Unfortunately had to sell my Z1000ST at the weekend as it wasn't being used, and I need the space for another Kwaki project.
She's a lovely ride and I'm sure the new owner will enjoy her.

Re: Z 1000 St E2
