here we go this my z1000a1 project/rebuild, the good points are its a zed the bad points are almost everything, it doesent seem to have had an easy life, the plan is to give it lots of tlc & to bring it back to something half tidy, it's not gona be a show winner just a tidy bike for a bit of fun in the sun, the plan is to keep it fairly standard, here's some pics of the old girl as she arrived mm

Krusty the Clown, more like

bike now stripped, the frame had been repainted but the prep was poor so it will get the powder coat treatmet

frame back from paint strip/chemical clean

having bought the bike not running i was informed the engine was in good working order and the plan was if it runs ok leave it, but i thought i would do a dry build at an early stage to check it out

things did,nt go to well it would only run on 2 or three cylinders and sounded like an old bag of spanners , i could now sense a strip was on the cards took off the side casing to find this little suprise

Gutted for you. If you need a replacement crank give Duane DDZ900 a shout I think he has one for sale.

Oh arse , swear a lot now Alan then crack on with it your thou er has potential ,
once you see some shiny and painted bits they will spur you on with the rebuild

boll***ks this dont look good

all three allen keys were loose hence the marks on fly wheel


great the crank is fooked,the rotar fooked & one bit of the starter clutch is missing

a full strip is the next job

the barrels now off & not in bad conditin with std size pistons
cases now split to reveal another suprise


great now the cases are cracked

hi padders/z1parr this log is not real time yet this all came to light a couple of months back and things have moved on a bit, theres more

feck welcome to the classic world of zeds great another job to add to the list, how do i move forward with this problem i know a man who said he could sort all my problems if i crossed his palm with silver



i think the chain needs a little oil


frame for sale just needs a touch up

I already know a lot of this story, but it's making a very interesting read Alan, keep it coming. Hopefully it will be an inspiration to others.

Alan You are indeed unlucky
whoever built that Motor needs whipping

hi steve things are coming along , im now trying to bring the thread up to date cheers alan

hi paul he needs whipping before he walks the plank
