    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

hi guys thanks for you help with my bike ...i did strip the standard cv carbys and soak/wash them for a couple of days,,, there was dirty fuel in 2-3 carbys bowls ,, so no i,ve got my new jets in pilots are 45/ main are 117.5... and raised the needle ,,,as well as this i did replace the white plastic washer on top of the needle with 2 small stainless washers each needle was done ,,,,my question is it is slightly popping / fluttering ..when reving it.... do i have to adjust the small air screw which is on top of each carby near the rubber inlet manifolds as they are still for my standard jets and needle position and if so by approximately how much ? your help is much appreciated regards oldgrumpy :):):)

hi i,m using 45 pilots as in australia the cv carbys came standard with 40 pilots and 108 mains ... so i,ve only gone up 1 size and raised the needle up 1 regards oldgrumpy :)
 
It doesn't burn your eyes at idle? :confused:
42.5 would be one size too much on the pilot jet.

hi guys ,,,i understand that i went toooooo high in my pilot ,,i looked a Z1 site today and saw my mistake ....i,m taking your advice and i,ll order some 42.5 pilots ,,,,,, currently i,ve got 117.5 mains is that going to stuff up as well /should i go to a smaller mains jet ,,eg. 112.5... the standard was 108youir thoughts please regards oldgrumpy :)
 
Do you currently have a 4 into 1 exhaust on it?
The U.S. models come with 40 pilot's and 115 mains (lean)
117.5's could not hurt IMHO with a stock bike.
