1978 Edition Clymer: Chapter on Z1 Performance Improvments was created by Move0ver
When I bought my Z1 from the original owner, he handed over a trove of old magazines, documents, and this clymer manual. It is full of random notecards with part numbers, receipts, and notes scrawled on pages throughout.
What is interesting about this clymer, versus ones for other bikes I've owned is the performance improvement chapter. It's a fascinating look into performance modifications of the era and has more or less been the process I have followed with improving the bike from where the previous owner left off (such as shots, springs, ignition, etc).
here's a link to the uploaded pages:

And here are the images resized for this forum (I don't know if it's just me, but this forum doesn't seem to auto resize linked images based on the viewers resolution).

My go - to is almost always the FSM, but I also have had an old Chilton's from years ago. It has a similar performance chapter at the end, but not as comprehensive or in depth as the Clymer you included above. Thanks, makes for interesting reading.
