Hmm? It’s a 900, not a Z1<\/p>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

It looks more like a KZ1000 than anything else
I was convinced it was a KZ1000 all along.

Is it carbureted or electronic?
It’s not running quite right
Currently it has a Dyna S installed
So let’s refresh the ignition system<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t

It’s best to avoid co-fastening to the battery<\/p>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

One additional wire is acceptable
With this much co-fastening
there’s also a risk of forgetting to attach something.
It’s better to create a separate ground co-fastening point
elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plug wires from the PAM kit are the best!<\/p>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

The rubber cover that comes with Watanabe is
a bit…
the insertion feel is subtle, and it’s too long
“Easy to slip out” and “bad for layout”
I basically never used it
but after finding these PAMS plug wires
it’s the only choice
*Except for oil-cooled models

If you’re unsure, go with this! It’s a sure bet<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t
