Hi, I have someone taking a look at the carbs.
They were asking me if I can get hold of a carb rebuild kit or a gasket kit.
Also there are some things that connect the airbox to the carbs, some sort of airbox or carb flange

Adjusting revs? Although throttle moves a good centimeter before revs change! Has cable stretched or needs lubricating or adjusting.
Any thoughts welcome, tomorrow I’m going to try turning the screw above the choke or the assumption it may be the idle speed screw!

Ok so the z750 is back on the road and now has a working starter motor.
Today I rode it the 20 miles or so into London to work, all was good until about a mile from work and the revs went mad, they were sitting at 4k when the throttle was closed. I limped to work by some means, and hone again (which was painful in traffic).
So what is the…[Read more]

Hi All
am in the process of getting the starter motor refurbed and looking to replace the switch too.
I have looked on weemoto and found what seems like the correct part https://www.wemoto.com/bikes/kawasaki/z_750_b1_twin_(kz750)/76/picture/handlebar_switchgear_right
however it looks slightly different to the one that came off, in that the end…[Read more]

Thanks KK, I have sent this guy an email https://www.jasm.co.uk/ will call him tomorrow, I have 2 starter motors so I may try to get both done, if one is successful I will be happy, if both work I can sell one to someone here if someone is in need of one.
Worst case I will just have to improve my kicking technique

Hi KK
hope you are well, the bike is running and the final thing to get sorted is still the damm starter motor, the one on the bike is dead, a spare that came with the bike is in pieces and not in good shape.
Can you get a patten one that you know of, i looked on weemoto and they do repair kits but not starters, am hoping that you may know if a…[Read more]

Has anyone got a working Starter Motor for sale or know where i can source one?
I am hoping i may be able to get a patten one or the starter actually is inter changable with another model bike, as Z750 parts are scarce

so i finally got the multimeter and started to take a look over the bike, as someone had said could just be bulbs that are stopping neutral etc. and they were correct, so now looking at sourcing some bulbs. Also the headlight mounting bolts dont screw in, i suspect they are simply bars holding it in place rather than an attached bolt, so will look…[Read more]

Wirral is home but partner lives in Surrey and we work in London. So we are currently at her house where the bike is staying.
Planning on fixing up and using to commute into London.
I have a dodgy hip, so am planning to attempt to sort out the electric start. Have an old starter motor so thought I may clean it up, currently no movement at all on…[Read more]

Thanks for the advice, will start on those jobs, yeah I think the exhaust is probably the gasket doesn’t affect the running just a small leak you can feel.
Am thinking I may do an oil and filter change too.
Sounds like the electrics are suspect on these bikes, but may buy a basic toolkit, it has a small toolkit under the seat too.
Would be nice…[Read more]

Hi
Just bought a 1977 z750, I have had a number of bikes but never did anything other than ride them.
I am hoping to learn about how they work and do some restoration, usual issues seem to exist, electric start doesnt work, no neutral light, no high beam light, indicators only flash when revving the engine, slight blow in the left exhaust where…[Read more]
