Z1B Idiot Lights cluster Cover _ Kawasaki's Mistake
Posted: Mon Mar 19, 2007 7:11 pm
Dave Marsden was right!
Did anyone see his mention of "Kawasaki's mistake" in Classic Motorcycle & Mechanics" some years ago.
A Z-nut has found one and has put it on Ebay. <Item number: 200091220430>.
To save you looking it up the descriptions for the item reads:
This item is for those that have a lean towards memorabilia. It's not your everyday "idiot light" cluster cover for a Z1B. This time Kawasaki or (KHI) made a big mistake. I don't know how many slipped through to the production line or if there was a recall soon after release.
The Error...Have a look at the oil pressure light label. It says "CHARGE", where it most definitely should have read "OIL" (I'll even settle for "PRESS" for pressure). I had previously read an article by UK's Dave Marsden about this error and I must admit, at the time I didn't believe it! Then I found this one, well used. I wonder If the owner ever realised.
I don't expect its value to run into the $10,000's. However, there are many other Z nuts like myself out there. Good luck!
Has anyone seen one in UK?... RegardZ ~Garn <The complete Z-nut>
