Aw........guys.....you turn me to jelly you do !!!!!
The simple reason I HAVE to own another Z13 is for all the quirks, glitches, gremlins and other $hit we put up with owning these beasts, plus DAVE D said he would never speak to me again or consider me a REAL biker if I didnt get another one soon.....so who am I to argue !!!!
Aside from all that, without being an owner......I would not be in the "gang" and we cant have that, can we !!!
Lets face it........without all that, where would the fun be ???????
FIRING ON ALL 6 AGAIN AND FEEL MUCH BETTER NOW......

: Seems you're a glutton for punishment Mr F.
: Having divested yourself of one Z13, you've
: gone and procured another. You obviously
: learned nothing from your previous ownership
: of the most complicated bike on the planet -
: two primary drive chains, umpteen idler
: shafts plus bevel gear just to drive the
: water pump, twin bevel final drive, a CCT
: with backlash that will scare you shitless.
: You could have at least upgraded to a DFI
: model. Who needs all those fiddly jets and
: other carby gubbins?
:
: OK, we're all crazy to own these relics.
: Maybe it's dementia.
:
: Actually, my car's ignition system
: (ubiquitous black box) threw its leg in the
: air on monday. Guess how I've been comuting
: to work while the car is in dry-dock. Yep,
: the ever reliable Z1300 DFI.

: Cheers,

: Yeah I know what you mean about not having
: enough time mate.
: Well the fuel pump went tits-up not long
: after getting it back on the road but I've
: got a mate in the motor parts trade doing
: some cross-referencing for me, a likely
: candidate is one from a mid-80s
: fuel-injected Honda Civic, looks identical
: but at a fifth of the price that Kawasaki
: are asking for one
: Apart from that looking to change the look
: of the exhaust over the winter, maybe a
: brutal looking under-engine job or just
: different mufflers, still undecided. Want to
: get some miles under it's belt next year!
:
: Keep us posted on progress with pics mate!

: I really just want to update it as much as
: poss to modern day standard, without loosing
: its original charisma or style.
: Maybe multi pot calipers & suspension,
: perhaps a front end and a bit of the usual
: cosmetic things like lights, indicators,
: footrests etc......
:
: Nothing too time taking or involved........I
: just have not got time these days !!!
:
: Hows yours now mate? Last time I saw it was
: at Stafford last year where it was 99%
: complete and looking a treat !!
