Many thanks LTD Project

The workmate idea sounds really good, I was wondering how to hold them in place.

Plastic pipe is sorted, as you say the fun begins if the tags need bending!

I'll post when I've finsihed

Sorry z1bman, that's what I meant.

Attach the plastic hose to the float bowl, let the fuel run in and check the fluid/fuel level by viewing the plastic pipe against the side of the carb body.

Adjust as required by bending the tags

Well that idea worked like sh1t

Went to my small local hardware shop, found some 4.5mm clear plastic hose. Luckily it screws straight into the threaded hole left by the drain plug.

Screw it in, fill 'em up, jobs s good un

What do you measure?

What is your datum point?

Well, I have managed to create a sophisticated piece of equipment to measure the float height. :) Actually it's a plastic clear lemonade bottle cut in half, a funnel to feed the fluid in, and the original fuel pipes. Works well considering. :D Question is? In the service manual it states that the le...

Hi all,

I am rebuilding the carbs on my Z900, I want to check the float height level and a special tool is usually required.

Have any of you resourceful people managed to make your own or have you found a way to check the level without a tool?

Much appreciate any help please

Many thanks indeed guys. Appreciate the reply

Thanks Mark,

But general spares, if I ran the bike through the whole summer and needed filters and pads and the odd broken lens or stuff like that?

Cheers.

Hi all,

In general, is it reasonable easy to obtain spare parts for a Z900?

I'm aware that some are rare, especially exhausts, but generally, no major issues with supply?

Many thanks for any help

At the end of the day, what I really want is a Z1 900cc four pot beauty :) I had one years ago, nearly had my hands on another about 5 years ago, and I want one now :?? Perhaps I'm just sentimental, I've had some lovely bikes over the years, not to everybody's taste, but riding is the main thing isn...

Yes, curiosity is the reason for asking. One of the appeals of the Zed is the four exhaust downpipes and silencers :P If a Z1000 came along at the right price, it may be worth considering the fitment of 4 into 4 to satisfy the need for the 'look' of the Z1? I've not studied the spec of the 1000 comp...

Is it possible to fit 4 into 4 Z1 exhausts to a Z1000?
