Z1100 oil leak!!

#1 PostAuthor: chrispeckitt » Thu May 28, 2009 9:09 pm

Hi all you knowledable people! I have an oil leak coming from the base gasket on my Z1100, I know you might think I am totally thick but is there a quick way around this or has it all got to come off? :oops:

Hi Al, thanks for that mate, will check it out, I got a manual with the bikes but its a bit rough. Re the seat.. I checked out a guy on ebay that was advertising some engine and other Z parts, I got the link from here but It might be a scam, I emailed the guy and he came back within minutes saying he didnt have one but his mate had, he is in Halifax I think so as I was over Manchester way today picking a bike lift up I sugested to the guy that we meet up and I would have it. Strangly enough he hasnt contacted me anymore. He initially wanted my address and payment for the seat. Maybe beware of this one guys, Forgot which section I got the info from but it must be the Ebay bit, apparantly he was using one of the lads on here picture of his bike.
Anyway enough ramblin on from me, Still desperate for a seat so any advise would be great.
Thanks everyone for your comments. Will try upload some pic's of the mighty Zeds this weekend.
