hi john, have you done a fuel service level check?
in my experience float hights mean jack, also what was your procedure for mechanicaly balancing the carbs? tricky.

hi beker, you need to check your service fuel level, it tells you how to in the z 1000 manual.

hi, carbs will need to be mechanicaly balanced, there is an important measurement between the throttle cable quadrant and the cable guide, this must be correct first, then mechanicaly balance the carbs as per manual, then once back on the bike, check balance with vaccume gauges if you want hope this...

every z ive had has done this, cam end float, once the oil gets up it goes away, tricky.

hi paul, i run these babys on my bike. if you are sure you have no air leaks,[is the vacuume take off blanked off, if not being used? good carb top gaskets, good inlet rubbers, and cables adjusted correctly, air screw o rings in good condition, and correctly adjusted]. have you mechanacly balanced t...

hi, would like to see a pic of both the chain wheels from the other side, preferebly with the top idler out the way and the gasket removed. i could be wrong from the angle of the pic, but it looks a tooth out to me

hi all, was wondering if any of you guys are running pod/k&n filters on your z1000j's with the stock cv carbs and what jetting mods are required, used the search facility but cant find anything, , heres hoping, tricky.

bunny, try this if you have a multimeter connect it to the two wires that go to the starter button, press button and look for continuity when pressesd, i have seen loads of carboned/dirty contacts over the years, if this is the case remove gubbins fron switch gear, and dress up with a bit of fine em...

i use putoline dx 4 in my zed when i worked at saki newcastle, we used this oil in all the bikes, right up to and including zx10 r's. and in all the time i worked there i never saw an oil related problem, it is bike specific oil so the clutch dont slip, and it can take the beating your gearbox gives...

been sorta busy this winter, the z is tucked away, as it only needs the z1 fork legs and calipers fitting, so not touching it till spring, sick of working on it anyway, what with last years engine build, sooo, i have been busy on sooki ts 250m, dont laugh you lot, this was the first road legal bike ...
