Nice cat! Again, welcome to the forum.
Can you get some more pics of it, the cat I mean?
I tried everywhere to find that cat on FleaBay but could not. Do you want to sell it/him/her?

....Don't be mislead by the "strange" look of my cat. I know it scares children, but it's quite a distinguished and well educated cat.

Thanks guys.

The problem is that renting a trailer is really a pain here in Paris. I would have to drive my car for 1 hour to go to the nearest spot where I can rent one. Then, I would have to give it back on Monday morning, and then stay for another hour stuck in traffic jams to go to my job.

That's why I really would prefer to ride the KZ1000ST to the other place, 150 km away. But I fear that riding with carburators in such bad conditions would damage the motor, even if I stay in the rpm range where the engine seems to run ok. What's your opinion?

The airbox hoses are in bad shape. I really can't remove the carbs to remove them right here in Paris. If I do so, I won't be able to put them back in place, and I would prefer to replace them in my other house. However, I'll drain the carburators before moving the bike again. That can easily be done.

I know that's a strange situation, but here in Paris, we really have few space, I live in an appartment, and I have nowhere to work on my bike but... on the sidewalk!

I already noticed www.z1enterprises.com . They've got a lot of parts, and prices are reasonables. I'll buy my parts there.

Here's the bike (and me!):

I was 3 years old when that bike was bought by its first owner. :laugh:
