Hi,

Can anybody please recommend a good make of engine oil and brake brake fluid for a 78 Z1R as I,m about to the bikes first service since I,ve owned it.

Also are the oil and air filters advertised on ebay ok to use.

regards

Dave

Dave M, do a 'search' mate, theres a ton of info (some quite recently) on this subject.
Most modern mineral oil seem OK in a Zed. Full synthetic may lead to a slipping clutch But not always
Main thing is regular oil & filter changes (I use top quality mineral - Kendalls or Amsoil and change oil & filter max 1500 miles) and you can't go too far wrong

I use Silkolene Super 4 10w 40 its a semi syn oil and works fine. No problem with the e bay filters if you are doing regular oil changes.

I use Rock Oil TRM 20/60 which is specifically formulated for roller bearing crankshaft engines.
I only use genuine Kawasaki oil filters in my 1000J type motors as they are cheap anyway.
