Thanks for the replies, certainly food for thought. I've had Bridgestones on ever since I've had the bike but running the standard pressures from the 'old days', after reading several posts on here I now realise they need to be a little higher with modern tyres so what are people putting in? Thanks ...

Steering damper, are they worth fitting?

As above really, had my Z1b for years and never bothered always accepting they're a bit 'vague' over a certain speed. Considering the relative low cost I was looking at fitting one but do they really make much difference and If so are there any better or worse one's about. My bike is pretty standard...

The only problem I'd say is (depending on the exhaust) blueing of headers on 1 and 2.


Standards, I'll keep an eye on them.

I may look into it over winter as the rest is pretty tidy so would like to get it as good as possible.

Thanks again.

Cheers,

Apart from the oil loss factor will leaving it do any damage?

Much of a job to do?

Thanks for qucik reply.

Smoke on startup.

Z1b that's been standing for a few years, recently got it back on the road but on start up 1&2 smoke real bad. I'm pretty sure it's oil rather than fuel and it clears within about half a mile and stays clear until next ride. I was thinking valve stem seals as I guess if worn bores/stuck rings it...
