Smoking

#1 PostAuthor: Pinhead » Sun Mar 08, 2015 2:43 pm

Hi all after some advice
Just had the bike mot after a strip and rebuild not touched the engine
I purchased the bike and striped it before I had done any miles on it,
On start up I look like a blue arrow for about 30 seconds out of the top right hand exhaust then it clears
I think the valve oil seals need replacing
Can I do this with out taking the head off and is it a easy job
Apart from that I am really pleased with my first Z

It possible to change the seals without head off by rope or flex in the cylinder to hold valve up or by compressed air into the plug hole,not a big deal really to wip the head off anyway,dont be tempted to use nasty seals out of pattern gasket set use gen or viton...
