Marko it is good to here things are moving along freely although slowly. I wonder sometimes too what half these rules and regulations mean and why at all they exist. Still at least you will be on the road quite soon and enjoying the twin thump

I was thinking the same samuria

Quote richh “Love the bike but it really need a little money sent to make it safe!!!”

Are you asking us to pay for your repairs 😆

There are lots of parts and help on this site rich. Feel free to ask anything, after we see your pictures of course 🙄

When the Z750’s are set up and tuned right they are almost guaranteed to fire on the touch of the button or on first kick. Unfortunately people don’t keep on top of them (me included) and that’s when they need to be encouraged to start. I am currently going for my 5th starter clutch and sprocket. My bike has actually cracked the starter clutch…[Read more]

Did you sing that song too?

Now there’s an image 😆

I’m shortly gonna start building a bobber. What kind of money are you thinking? I am looking for a K engine (belt drive) for the bobber but they are hard to come by over here. This could get me through till I find one if the price is right plus it would also be a bit of the lonesome legend . . . .

It sounds very sweet and is a good buy for someone. Wrong type for me or I would be in.

Is this the one chrislwg?

No sound at work so haven’t heard it yet

Michael

He got the manifold with the bike when he bought it. It is a great idea and I hope to do the same style with my bobber. I am looking into getting a manifold made. I will keep you all posted.

Saw this little baby for the first time tonight. He has finally got her running pretty sweet with the single carb. I took her for a run round the block (well a tadge more lol) and it was such fun. Ive ridden a standard 440 before and this one seemed to perform much better. I am now getting inspired to do my 750 bobber and might even go hard tail…[Read more]

I’d definitely go for float bowl shut off valves then

Most people take the engine out through choice. IE they are doing the bike up and painting the engine or powder coating the frame. It is very rare to hear of an engine being removed because of mechanical breakdown. They are very over engineered in that department so do not tend to wear out. The only rebores I have heard of are for Big Bore kits…[Read more]

Hello Richh and welcome.

1976 that will be a B1. Before you sit down be a good fella and get me a double rum and coke from the bar.

Cheers

Now ask away but don’t forget to post some pics please

Interesting concept.

It’s like philpass says. Both pistons go up and down together so there are counterbalance weights and chains fitted to compensate for the forces. This is one of the reasons why the bike/engine is so heavy.

Yes Michael you are right. I did ask myself that question but I answered it wrong. I also wondered with the paint and stripes.

Thank You for correcting me

I’ve thought about going to that myself. Would you recommend it?

That’s nice cruising at 85/90. How was the vibration? My CSR isn’t to bad at that speed

MMM a Y1.

Love it Marko that’s my type of 750 twin.

It looks pretty much original too. Have you managed to get it registered yet?

BTW if you are uploading pictures DO NOT preview the post

I have not heard of this issue before. If you wish to email your pictures to the ‘Contact me’ address I will try and do it for you
