Re: Low Compression
Compression tests need to be done on a hot engine, no plugs in throttle wide open, when you do this disconnect power to coils, at present you are not achieving much at all.

Re: Rear spring refinishing
As a former plater, surface coater and metalurgical chemist as long as the chrome is not lifting and you give it a good clean go along with Warren's shrink tubing, powder coating is more susceptible to stress cracking and nowhere near as cheap as shrink tubing.

Re: Z1000A1 CARBS, REBUILT
They are A1 carbs, not A2 as there is no vacuum stub.

Re: KZ1000A2 Low Compression
Are you doing this on a hot or cold engine?

Re: KZ1000A2 Low Compression
Did you do these cold with plugs out and throttle wide open?
Should be done hot, plugs out throttle wide open for at least 10 seconds a cylinder.

Re: V55/5 Type approval??
From my understanding you do not fill that part in, bike is over 10 years old and not a newly produced vehicle type.

Re: Dyna ignition
My dyna has been on for around 10 years and it's been no problem running, if it were to go wrong I would go boyer, the reason being I have had a fair few bikes with boyers and always been reliable and you don't need to rely on the advance unit as it's programmed in the box, I also feel that bad conn...

Re: Fuel hose.
If you are not worried by non original looks, go for tygon, it's clear yellow but you have to have wire spring around it as it has a tendency to kink, I use it on mine.
Re: Coils
Been running a set for 9 years, not had any problems.

Re: Zephyr 750/1100 wire wheels
So many of these bikes scrapped due to bean can petrol tanks, it's a shame, I loved my 750, best of the bunch.
