It runs !!
Look here the tacho sits at 1000rpm ticking over.
After a run of good weather everything is put back together and the bike is back on the road again.
It starts and runs very well but must be run in ( new Wiseco kit fitted )
but there are still a few issues to sort out.
There is quite a glitch at 2000rpm - 2500rpm
Exhaust is blowing slightly
Brakes need bedding in especially the rear ( a bit like squeezing a plank of wood with a pair of pliers )
Tyres are 15 years old and need replacing with some BT45's
Horn does not work
Next job is to set up the injection properly with vacuum gauges ,adjust throttle sensor position and check engine temperature sensor is working
correctly
I must say I am very pleased with the end result. It has a few non standard parts like the exhaust, indicators and seat that came with the bike
and the rear m/guard and stripes on the fairing are personal preferences.
It is not an 1100R and will never be one but these days a firecracker red B2 seems to be rarer than a lawson replica so it will stay like it is .
If I was to suddenly have a spare €1000 a black Harris / Kerker would be nice and a Metmachex swing arm to replace the original would look good but at the moment it is a great feeling to be on the road again.
Hopefully I can everything sorted in time for July so I can zoom up the autobahn to Kassel for the 40th birthday bash for the Z1 and maybe one day soon can bring it back to England to try out my favourite roads in Devon again.
All the best to everyone on this super forum.
