Even after getting a sprocket carrier suitable for mags, the brake caliper can still bind if the spacing around it is off. It gets pulled out of line as the spindle is tightened and grips the disc. Can take a bit of buggering around to get right. I got a handful of washers of different thicknesses a...

Sorry, should have been clearer. It's a collet I've got, not the finned collar.

I've got an old one you're welcome to have. Needs a touch of the wire brush, though. If you want it PM me your address and I'll stick it in the post.

You'll need to change your sprocket carrier/cush drive (A1 carrier can't fit mk 11 alloys).

P.S. Zedted I've got a couple of brackets that I made to mount the BSM silencers to the frame. You're welcome to have them if you want to save you work. They just bolt to the existing brackets to lengthen them. They're made of stainless.

Zedteds right; I had a BSM system like this on my z1000A1. I also had to make up brackets so the silencers would meet the frame -the existing lugs on the silencers are an inch or two too short. I couldn't keep the centre stand on either. It hung far too low with the BSM and would have been at risk o...

Excellent Barry-PM sent

Cheers Gus, just the job!

Do any of you knowledgeable guys know if the sprocket carrier/cush drive from a Z1R can fit a 1000mk2 (i.e are the back wheels the same)?

Thank you!

PM sent Baza. That's the good thing about belonging to a club like this, I'm sure people have all sorts of interesting stuff tucked away. It never occurred to me, though, that a set of ace bars would be sought after. I use a happy medium for me now in my old age (z650 bars). Not too high and not too...

I've got a set of old Wassell ace bars hanging on the garage wall. Had them on my Z1000 about 15 years ago. Can't see me using them again, so you can have them if you want. Not too bad chromewise-should clean up OK

A few years ago my A1 developed the same symptoms. Turned out to be a shagged rectifier. New one sorted it. The original was a solid state affair, and the plastic component had deteriorated over time. I replaced it with one of the older style silicon ones which, if I remember rightly, needed an extr...

Thanks for the info. Skunkwurczx. I'll stick the pipe on, have a blast, pull a plug and see what that reveals,

Cheers

Any of you chaps know if any jetting changes are needed when fitting a Vance and Hines 4-1 onto an otherwise standard 1000A1?

Cheers in anticipation

Now this might sound silly but...I had a very similar problem on my 1000a1 last year. Did all the usual stuff like you did, electrics and fuel,new this, that and the other. All good, and me still pulling my hair out. The bike had a really bad misfire at a certain point in the rev range. It turned ou...
