Hi TJ,
Glemseck 101 2019 is this weekend !
I’ve answered your question in regards to the Ignitech on the german http://www.z750twin.de website 😉
If you need individual downtubes in stainless steel, one of our german members, Peter (ausreiter) is producing them on individual basis. Price is very reasonable with around 200,- Euros (plus p&p) for…[Read more]

Hi Andy,
as long as we speak about the B models with spoked wheels, the hubs are all the same.
The LTDs and the CSRs have different hubs, e.g. drum brakes in the rear wheel.
LTDs have 48 spokes instead of 40 spokes with the Bs.Have you seen the Tracker made by the Wrenchmonkees:
Cheers, Michael

As I am working on an engine upgrade with 906 ccm and didn’t finished it since 5 years now, a lucky moment happened at the “Built not bought”. The seller of my big-bore-kit was present and offered me his engine with 906 ccm, a lot of modifications and at least 2000 km used on the road !

Hi Kon,
thank you !
I’ve startet just 1,5 years ago, ok, close to 2 years now, to race on a track. Most instances were training, only a few races until now.
As an experienced motorbike rider I said, that I can find the ideal line on the track myself and will learn proper riding by watching and copying other riders. Both is wrong. I would highly…[Read more]

Hi Kon,
I own several of the Z750Twins (Bs and LTDs), some other bikes (Z1100ST, FZR1000EXUP, Z750E, RD80LC1).
My spouse has an LTD and just sold her YZF600R “Thundercat” and has a Suzuki SV650S as her second bike now.
My 20 yo son is riding a KTM RC125 on the road and a special built Aprilia AF1 (ex 125ccm, 2 stroke) but with a 650ccm, 4-stroke…[Read more] -

Michael replied to the topic How tight is too tight? in the forum How To Fix It 4 years, 10 months ago
Hi Patrick,
if that bolt is a 12mm one as used in B3 and later engines (G, M, S, Y, K models), the value is correct (130 Nm).
If the bolt is a 10mm one as used in the B1 and B2 engines only, the value is 75 Nm !
Cheers, Michael
PS: Use a little bit of Loctite medium (not the strong one!) on the thread.

Hi Marko,
thank you for the pics and good memories.
Every few years I am doing the Sella ronda.
Parts of it are in your tour, Arabba is one.I’ve heard that there are some limitations for motorbikes on that Sella ronda.
(Passo Sella, Passo Pordoi, Passo Campolongo and Passo Gardena)
Have you found a sign describing that ?Cheers, Michael

Hi Lonesomes,
there are some videos available that shows the track “Spreewaldring” and the event “Built not bought”.
First video is a training session on a Laverda 1000, 3 cylinder. The driver uses about the same rev range and shifting points as I use them. Feels like I am on the track 😉

Everything went well and my best lap in the race was 1:45.06 min, which is 10 seconds faster than last year !
We had a lot of fun:
Peter participated in the training sessions as well:
Finally I’ve lost the “fight” against a Triumph Thunderbird Sport 1200, but that was pure action 😉
