Hi Mick, welcome to the site. If you have any problems posting pics just let me know, and I’ll do all I can to help.

My Z750 has Z650 forks on, and pushed through the yokes by about an inch and a half. They aren’t that much longer, and are easier to find.
I have a couple of pairs of Z750 forks from Ebay, all of which were pictured from the unpitted side, and arrived with bad pitting so beware if you do see some “good condition” ones for sale.

Very nice, thanks for posting the pics here and all the info. Great looking bike.

It’s quiet fer sure.

I have a pair of wheels here, they’d need cleaning up and I believe they’re from a Z750.

Sounds good, more would be great though 😉

Not that sparse with us two fatties 😉 but it would be nice to see more there.

Count me in for that

I’m not sure the rotor is magnetised, as there is a coil in the centre of the alternator which is fed power from the regulator. As the voltage increases at the output the amount of current in the centre coil decreases and lowers the output to keep it at the correct voltage.
I believe the rotor just breaks the magnetic field to induce the current…[Read more]

As my Brit bike loving dad says “it’s not leaking it’s marking its territory”

Hurrah, nice one Phil :pint:

Hey Lonesome, been meaning to take a ride up your way to see how things are. Time just keeps slipping away. Will ring soon and arrange a visit to see the new machine. 😎

If you can send some bigger pics, and less blurry so I can see the colour scheme properly 😉

Bike looks great Phil. I intend to start tidying mine up soon. I like the look of the tank.

The most likely fault is going to be the wiring into the headlight unit where it can get cut by the edges as it goes in. Also check where the wiring comes around the headstock as that is prone to cracking the insulation due to the flexing as the steering is turned.

I’d have to look through the wiring diagram to find out more though. I am assuming…[Read more]

So the brakes don’t work then? 😆

Good work m8, hope to see some pics soon.

Hope to hear about it passing the MOT soon Phil 😎

Sounds like it’s running lean. Have you checked the diphragms in the carbs, or for air leaks on the pipes between the carbs and the barrels?
Also check for missing blanking plugs on the vacuum test points.
I’d go for something simple before rejetting unless something else has been changed.

Like your bike, the ikkle one is getting better by the day :). Back on her feet and just a couple of small patches to heal.
Good to see some major progress on the bike and hope it starts at the weekend.

PM sent Phil.
