need some help... missing parts.

Hello all.

I joined this forum a while ago and made a new member post but it seems to have disappeared... oh well. I'll make another soon.

I have a small problem. I have a 75 Z1B (chassis # Z1F 50385) and I recieved the top end in boxes. the lower end is still together and I just had the head freshened up and I find myself missing some things I need.

Im totally missing the chain tensioner completely and the bolts that hold it to the jugs.

im missing the upper guide sprocket/bracket/bolts as well.

Im also looking to get some head stud nuts and washers as I only have 4 of the nuts and none of the washers. also what is the head stud torque spec. i have a KZ1000 manual which is pretty close but i dont want to be wrong.

Im pretty sure the engine is correct for the bike but just in case someone knows where I could check, the engine number is KZT00AE052405.

I think I have everything else to put the bike back together... well other than the little o-ring that sits on top of the jugs and in that little groove... any one have any of these parts that I can buy? thanks

oh yeah that brings up another question... the headgasket that I was given for the bike is a victor reinz one piece gasket. Ive seen some pics of some two piece head gaskets around and I was curious if I had the right gasket.

thanks

Brian

Talk to Jeff, the Z1 expert and owner of www.z1enterprises.com/ and I am sure he can get you all the parts you need, along with answering any questions you have.

thanks,

yup, I talked to him a ways back when the board had the old styling... I just didnt remember what his username was. thanks.

a 75 Z1 with Z1F50385 frame # should have a close engine # Z1E50XXX
your engine # sounds like a KZ1000.

yeah that does sound like a set of kz1000 cases anyway;) good catch bob

Bob_Z1 is correct...you need to determine what motor is in your bike...look on the front of the jugs for an embossed '1015' or a '903'...measure the cylinder diameter...etc. The gasket kits are slightly different, I think.

thanks guys. yup I did know about that parts page APE Jay... I guess I do know where to find new parts and even used parts.

Now I need to find out what motor I have in that chassis. is there a listing out there that has the KZ1000 production frame numbers vs frame numbers so that I can see what year motor I have before I buy anything? thanks

I already have a manual for a kz1000 so it might actually be the correct manual for the engine lol. so I guess the KZ1000 emblems that came screwed onto the side covers that I found in one of the boxes of parts that came with the bike arent that far off lol.

Brian

yup... its a KZ1000 motor on a Z1B frame. now I need to find the model year of the engine. thanks again guys.

Brian

im gonna guess 77;)

according to this page it might be a 78 but I dunno how accurate that is.
