Greetings to all members!
Had a couple of Z1’s in the past and have just bought a distant Cousin, 1980 KZ1000 LTD which has the wrong engine fitted but no complaints as it’s either a Z1B or Z900 unit, it has the accelerator pump style carbs which I think were on the original (1015) engine, I’m sure someone will correct me if that’s not the case!
Picture showing each Z1 variant was from circa 1992, Z1, Z1A and Z1B with a 72 H2 lurking in the background, oh to have them in my garage again!
Cheers
