oil leak

[justin taylor]

Hello,ive just bought my Z1B and yesterday went for my first good ride,she ran like a dream.When i got home i noticed some oil dripping out of the rev counter drive.(where the cable comes out of the engine)Itook it off to check there was a o ring (there was) and refitted it but it still leaked.Would this just be the o ring and where do i get one from?Thanks

Hi Justin,
Had the same on mine last summer,changing the seal fixed it,simple job to do,seals available on line from Z Power.

Thanks Steve,do i just need the tacho drive oil seal kit?Plus to fit it do i remove the assembly that is fixed to the engine or do i replace it still screwed to the engine?

Justin,
yes buy the seal kit,from what I remember you just unscrew the assembly from the head clean it all up, and change the seals,the tach drive shaft comes out but is easily refitted.easy peezy good luck.
