Jon started the topic How to change to Tax exempt in the forum Tips and Ideas 3 years, 2 months ago
Hi
Wonder if anyone can help me confirm sufficiently in the dvla eyes the date of manufacture of my bike?
The dvla says ‘If your vehicle was built before 1 January 1980, you can stop paying vehicle tax from 1 April 2020.’
My bike was registered on 25 Jan 1980 – so i would think it was built before that but is there any way i can get a precise date?

Hi KK
I’ve started stripping the bike down and i’m reliant on good weather since i have to do most of it outside. When i get nearer the end i’ll see what i need and give you a shout.

Cheers KK,
I can probably sort it out. It looks a lot easier to do than the Z650. But then everything looks easier to maintain on this bike… Could be bye bye z650 later

Hi
Thanks for the encouraging responses. I used the y piece to connect each carb to my one aux tank (not the main tank).
It fired up immediately (or after 5 seconds). It was running on choke without the airbox and a steady tickover…
Only thing i did find the the starter clutch is just whrring now so guess it’s either not engaging or stuck…[Read more]

Hi
Recently purchase a z750b2 as a project. It’s done 57000 miles and last used in 1989 previous owner (from new) seemed to be a bit of an engineer since mechanically it seems to have been looked after.
I have the original bill of sale, the buyer bought a set of alloy wheels at £20 extra back in 1981. It has a 2 into 1 exhaust (unknown brand).…[Read more]

Hi
I do prefer the shorter american one – let me know what sort of price you are after.
I’ll be stripping my one down soon for a repaint of the frame. I was looking at my front mudguard and it has bout 6 dimples down each side near the brackets where it must have been spot welded. What i’m thinking is i’ll fill these to make them smooth and…[Read more]

Jon replied to the topic Apparent source of oil leak, not the head gasket. What's going on? in the forum How To Fix It 3 years, 3 months ago
Hi
I’m new here and to z750b’s but i picked my one up and it had masses of oil on engine and everything down wind particularly left hand side.
One thing i thought was odd was the cam cover being bolted to the frame? Surely if the engine vibrates this will interfere with the cam cover gasket?
