Just overhauled the carbs on my Z1B. Also the (original) fuel tap. The carbs were pretty dirty and the fuel tap had lots of debris in it. I want to fit inline fuel filters to protect the carbs. Which ones are recommended ? do they have to be a certain size (diameter)?. Any comments/advice welcome.

ive got one of the anodixed ones on my mt500 because it can take a bit of rough road and the plastic ones i thought would fall apart too easily. I n mine there is a small stone filter that can be cleaned if necessary although this hasnt been necessary so far.

Pingle high flow inline filters are the best they are cleanable so last for ever, call him if you cant find them on his site

With the Pingel filter, I presume I would need the 2 lines in, 2 lines out model and therefore only 1 filter for the 2 carb inlets?

Yep! its a high flow filter, I have them on my GS1216 and GSX 1170 with no flow issues so for a standard Z1 engine would be more than ok

Thanks for all the advice. I decided to go with NW66 and have ordered the Pingel one. It's a bit pricey but lasts forever and has 2 inlets and 2 outlets so only one filter required.
