Totally agree my mate just flogged one earlier this year, they are out there, this one was, tricked carbs and played with engine, harris exhaust with a small hole underneath, so I gets on it and fires it up to just nip down to ours to patch said pipe, as I pulled out into the road I carefully wound ...

More GPz's, Lovely, I remember the last ever Esholt Sprint. I'd nipped down on the old xt500d coz a few of the mates were down there, I think it was the last time we were all sort of there, you know houses marriage kids, moving away sort of thing it was a real free for all run what ya brung do, ther...

I don't like to miss it, specially last year, there was more kwack stuff and certainly jap stuff was in evidence all over look at all the Brit stuff at the one just gone, I need two a year to keep my sanity or should that be restore my faith! The lines are blurring between both shows but earlier on ...

If it eats starter motors could be a 1260, people often forget over the years, they just know cozzy or wizzie, what colour are the gaskets that's if they're clean, you know rocker,head,base(bottom of barrels) if they're red it's a wiseco.

Smoother inlet tracts, years ago we put a gpz750 head on my mates gt750, it was deffo different when revving tho that might have been the new camchain!!! I know on my RX they're really smooth. The head we used was off an R1.

Disc bolts maybe ? I have the mushroom head type on my gpz the chamfered type if nothing moves(Anaerobic) mine are polished titainium but the hex head on stuff from before, rezincing, does hydrogen embrittlment apply? apologies if not spelt right! do these stresses apply? Get new ones, or depress y...

This is awesome I was going to invest in some dynas for my thousand RX coz I thought the spark wasn't very good so I bought those fancy expensive plugs you know like you do, but the spark was only a little better so still pathetic but hang on, so was my XT500 but that was on a six volt kick system b...

I have just Rebuilt my gpz calipers with new pistons and seals and turned a brake binding bike in to a easy to move about motable bike I have some thou ST calipers which i'm not going to use gonna do them next just for the hell of it, keeps me amused, such a simple fix.

Ive had por 15 in an h1 for 15 years and 5 years in a z1b, both solid. The prep is the key and a good couple of weeks curing at least Yep preparation, yes its a teewat, but if you want it right, patience and preparation ive just done an RD125LC Tank for a guy, leaking like a t**t from the seams at ...

Don't want to put you off but I used POR-15 and found it an awkward job and it started peeling off within 6 months. How about leaving it unlined and using the Aspen fuel which isn't hygroscopic like e-fuels? I used it because of all the good reports out there but it didn't match my expectations. Al...

Mikey, no its not a z its a GPZ the last of its kind and trust me, for the price of a new tank which is only available in black a full paintset is available for the Z but if your gpz is set up right the only completion is newer stuff for a thousand cc's if the zrx11 had gone like the GPZ1000RX did i...

Hi Jes, Here's the video showing the used Pingel Fuel Tap - http://youtu.be/AQjp-rsYGfI It screws straight on to the tank, but it won't unscrew from the tap and the gauze won't remove either. Yours being the earlier alluminium model dismantles and is serviceable? The chromed brass nut on this Pinge...

Definitely not much looking where the lower hole lines up but my old TT500G didn't have a reserve used to carry fancy pressure bottle when out greenlining held a pint (Petrol) used it quite a few times Ho Ho!

gpjes , Below are pics of this Pingel Fuel Tap. I tried removing the gauze filter to no avail, I even drifted the lever out, and still it doesn't dismantle. :( http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t73/z1forum/Z1OC/IMGP5123_zpse1d99536.jpg http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t73/z1forum/Z1OC/IMGP5124_z...
