Z900 (Z1) Gasket maintenance, carburettor maintenance, and more

DSC09683
Let’s check the front fork.

DSC09682
This is a fork type without metal. The bottom case lower side wears barrel-shaped and can develop symptoms close to steering play, so be careful.

We’ll replace the stud bolts with new ones at this time. You’ll have peace of mind going forward.

 

DSC09688
The surface rises, so chamfering is essential.

 

DSC09692
Already… sometimes these cylinder mounting bolts strip, and we have to drill them out and remove them?

DSC09690
Let’s smooth out areas where the fit is tight.

 

DSC09698
The condition is good on both sides.

 

DSC09701
Probably re-plated? There’s no difference between top and bottom, so it’s uniform and reassuring.

 

DSC09704
We’ll avoid areas where the fit is tight and offset them when assembling.

 

DSC09709
One of the caps seems to have had something happen to it in the past.

 

DSC09711
We’ve machined it nicely.
