Kawasaki Z series really does have unwavering popularity, doesn’t it? (´ω｀) KZ1000 Inspection, Oil Change, Carburetor Leak Check One-Two

23 July 2025

Since my air conditioner is brand new, I can see the power consumption from today and the day before.

By the way, Tokyo Electric Power’s Energy Partner is really unusable, isn’t it?
It’s gotten even worse and seems harder to register for.
In the first place, they went paperless but I can’t find out what’s going on at all—what’s that about??

Well, when I have time I’d like to call their customer service.

Sekaiimon, which makes eBay easy, is excellent (*´ω｀*)

I’ll do the oil change first.

I’m getting a feel for the work pace, but I’m still finding that there are quite a few things I need to locate.
Today in particular
I spent an unexpected amount of time worrying about where to install the headlight tester.

If there’s a good headlight testing shop near the Sodegaura inspection facility,
I was thinking of disposing of the tester, but it doesn’t seem to be that simple.

Lately I’ve been checking Yahoo Auctions for headlight testers that match my needs.

I partially removed the muffler and changed the engine oil and filter.
I’m using Shell Advance 4T Ultra for the engine oil.

I’ll replace the rear axle nut.

Back in this era they used cotter pins instead of lock nuts.
I’m not a fan of cotter pins since they become unusable after a few uses.

Also, the inspection will fail if it’s not a cotter pin or lock nut, so you need to be careful.
I installed the usual Honda OEM M18-1.5.

M18-P1.5 Flanged Lock Nut 90305-MB4-003 Perfect for Z1000MK2!

I’ll get the inspection done first on Friday, then disassemble and check everything from there.
