Another first time poster on here.

Thanks for allowing me to join in.
I came accross this site while hunting for the rubber dampers that fit around the speedo and tacho guages.
I've owned my Z1000J since around 1985, traded in a car for it. A little over 40,000km on it then, bit over 55,000km now.
It spent a lot of time hidden in a shed when the battery died after the alternater stopped working. Gave it a wake up last year with oil, filter, plugs and tank cleanout.
Hope to be active on and off in the future,
Cheers

Welcome, and that is one nice looking bike you have..
I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.

Thanks for the welcome,
Not quite as good looking today as it was then living in the house compared to most I have seen here though.
It goes ok but is showing it's age cosmetically. Cleaned out the carbies recently after it stopped firing on all pots but didn't help. reckon it could be one of the coils playing up. Bit more tinkering needed.
