1974 900 Z1 modified to look like a LTD , some engine mods. But I still have all the original parts.
1977 1000 project bike
1972 H1 project bike
If pro is opposite of con, then what is the opposite of progress?
Oil Drain Bolt was created by patmann
I started working on my secret project last night, KZ 1000 the wife doesn't know about.
And the first thing I did was drain the oil. Much to my surprise the oil drain bolt has a hex head ( bolt ) head!!
My Z1's has always been square( ish ). Was the Z1 rounded of years ago and filed square or did it come that way? The bike was owned by a farmer years ago, and he cross threaded standard bolts into metric, stuck nails in place of cotter pins. You get the idea.
Strange how I just excepted it all these years ..
And does anyone have an "extra" in good shape they would part with?? As it really SUCKS when I go to change oil in the Zed :pinch: with a drain bolt that no wrench or socket fits.
Thanks guys!

They were all hex bolts that a 17mm socket was used to loosen. If yours are square, that's different than they came.

Thanks Ron! That's what I was thinking too.
I couldn't remember on any of my other Zed's of KZ's I'd had over the last 35 years of riding. Just that this was/is a pain.
