as some of you know i am building up my 26mm carbs right now. so far i am having some problems getting parts.

i have wrote to z1, with no answer. this is strange to me, they usually got back to me right away. but for some reason not this time?

so i need some other routes, maybe if z1 doesn't get back to me in time. i am looking for a rebuild kit for my 26's.

thanks you!!!!!!!!

It's probably just the very common "We don't have what you are wanting, so no need to reply". I've never bought from Z1, but all the other 6 million companies on the net are this way, so I'd assume Z1 would make it 6 million and one.
321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

i gotta say, ron that when i asked for some thing in thepast from z1 that they didn't have, they gave me a name that i could contact to get what i was asking for.

so unless they have changed their ways of doing things i don't think it is that way, atleast i hope not!!!!!!

Ron, The folks at Z1Enterprises.com just moved to a new building to enable them to greatly enhance their ability to stock products and they added a new employee to help keep up with the correspondence. I am sure that since you haven't ordered from the but are willing to bash them, there must be some good reason for your bitterness against them so I will just leave it at that but Jeff, the owner, is a very good friend of mine and one of the few totally honest fellas out there. In addition, he makes most of his decisions based on what is good for the motorcyclist... not to make a quick buck and seeing them drug through the mud doesn't sit well...

Mr. Jones, I would give them a call on Monday and find out why your email dropped through the cracks.

I know that we are not supposed to turn these threads into advertising for retailers, but Z1 has been very reputable in every way in my dealings with them. I won't go into details, but Jeff cares a LOT about the customers and he proved it to me.

And to me -- more than once.


Howdy, Ron -- would agree there are precious few out there who really spoil us; however, in this case it's not 6 million and 1, but more apt to be 1 in 6 million.

just a little update. i got an mail from z1 about the changes at their company. i have sent an email to them about my carb parts i need with some more questions.

wg. thank you for backing up the idea of contacting them again, they actually contacted me, gotta love that.!!!!!!!

i will post pics of the carbs when done. just a note here. that carbs were in dirt when i got them, covered in dirt totally. so it will take alot of cleaning up to get them to be right!!!!!!!!

:cheer:

I honestly don't understand Ron well. He is by far, one of our most knowledgeable and helpful members but sometimes goes off for no apparant reason. I could see knocking a company that had burned him but to knock the Z1Ent folks without ever having ordered from them seems strange. I hope Ron takes the opportunity to test Z1Ent's customer service skills and perhaps change his mind. Anyway, glad this worked out...
