Should there be a spacer on top of the fork spring on a z1000a1?
I have two manuals one shows a spacer the other does not, if it should have one does anyone know the standard size.

Thanks

Thanks for the info

Thanks for reply
I will give them a call tomorrow see what if any solution they offer?
Failing that do you know what size spacer it would need and where to get one from?

Finally found the time to start building up the z1000 engine after having the parts since march. Barrels have been re bored by a well known company and they supplied a Wiseco 1075 piston kit. Problem is when the head is fitted with no cams in, the engine wont turn over, feels like the piston is hitt...

ok thanks

My Wiseco piston kit has come with a one piece gasket.
Do you still fit the o ring around the chain slot?

Thanks
Will give SEP a call

Looking for recommendations for somewhere to get some engine work done.
Re bore and possibly valve seats/guides?
Ideally in the midlands

Thanks

ok
thanks for the reply, was a bit worried a couple of bolts might be wandering around but all looks ok up top.

Drained the oil for the first time today on my z1000 a1 and this came out on the plug? Only thing I could think of was upper chain tensioner, took cam cover of and all is ok. Anywhere else it could of come from? http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a550/kennytcr/part_zps872d1ba7.jpg
