Fixing Z1, KZ900/1000 carb crossover pipes

21 Jun 2009 13:48

This may not be any news to some but I found that by taking my carbs off the rack and wrapping the ends of the cross over pipes between the carbs with teflon tape I was able to get them to quit leaking. Just thought Id pass it along even if its old news.

Dont recall exactly, enough to make a nice snug fit but still be able to get them to go back in the carbs. You kind of have to experiment with them
