Hi,

I'm looking for tools to complete the under seat toolkit on my Kawasaki Z1B, I have most of the tools but I'm missing the pliers, screwdriver handle,10mm Allen key and the feeler gauge.
If anyone has any of these items please let me know.
I'm in the UK but will happily pay any shipping costs etc.

thanks,

Haydn

thanks,

Thanks Wookie,

I've dropped him an email - you are right he is a bit forward with his prices but no harm in asking.

Haydn,
Take a look on ebay, there are several listings for KZ tools (with wide price ranges). You may be able to find what you're looking for.

Maybe my memory is bad but I don't remember any allen key in the OEM tool package. I had a new Z1B back in the day and I also have one now.

I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

Here's the thing: ebay's stock (so to speak) is constantly changing. If the thing you want isn't available right now, you need to keep checking.

I tried genuinely for years to find a serviceable rear master cylinder for the GPz550, with no luck - then found a good used MC and a[n] NOS MC piston/spring from two different sellers about a month apart.

I will of course keep an eye on eBay for the items, currently not finding what I’m looking for.

It appears in the '74 Z1-A parts manual as part# 92127-001 WRENCH, allen, 10mm. It's for the caliper bolts. It's still in the tool pouch of the '74 Z1-A slmjim bought new. We'll have to check the tool kits in our our other Z1's as we don't get into them often & just don't remember.

Thank you,

Good news is that the 10mm Allen wrench and screwdriver handle aren't marked (most of the other tools have the Kawasaki 'Rivermark') so a generic tool isn't so bad for these.
