I need advice, On my zg1300 (but converted back to carbs) there is no ballast resistor, the wires coming from the wiring harnass also suggest that there never...
Hey Buc, I'm assuming that you mean ZN1300, I don't believe that there ever was ZG1300, but I could be wrong. It is my understanding that some of the later...
I agree. Fix the bad connections. You will have problems later even with the relay if you have bad connections. Fix the problem and you will not have a...
Yep, there was a ZG1300, you guys just never got it over there. There's info on it in the supplement service manual. It was sold in Europe & some other markets...
Yes, that's correct, the 130hp one, mine is an 85 model. Problem is I'm getting desperate to get the bike started and fixed, it's been standing for 4.5 years,...
I fitted Dyna coils to my ZG about 3 years ago (they started playing up when hot) & pressed the starter button after a lay up of over a year & it started first...
You did measure correctly. If still hard starting, there are 2 possible problems. How much clearance do you have on your valves? The clearance wears tighter....
I have now selected a computer system to drive the fuel injection system. This is the after market setup. It has the drivers for the coils so we can quit using...
Very interesting. WOuld the system as proposed provide an ignition system for an '81? SInce replacement trigger coils and igniter for an '81 go for a grand...
The 3 pickup coils on the side of the engine would still be used. And you spark coils. The ignitor would be replaced. Or if you could figure out a way to...
Larry; I'll watch your progress with great interest. For now my '81 is fine and I've done what's possible to protect it from common failure modes. However,...
I'l pass for now. Hopefully I won't need them anytime soon. thx for the offer. you might try selling them to the guy that runs the KX1300 web site. ... fuel...
Mark, keep watching ebay, Dave got a set for about $200.00 this summer if I remember right. Heck I'll sell you a set and throw in an entire spare motorcycle....
I did pick-up a GL1500. Nice when the wife is with me, otherwise I hate what a pig it is. I'm gradually finishing out my '81, missed a sissy bar/backrest on...
my guess on the low mileage bike is $3500+,; low mileage bikes seem to go on Ebay for much more than the difference in mileage would seem to be worth. I...

Possibly in the future. I'd have to pick up another bike to seriously consider doing the project. I've learned the hard way not to plan on riding a modified...
Members, Among my many bikes is my trusty 1983 Z1300A5. I've owned it for 17.5 years now and it's only clocked up a total of 70,500km (slightly less than...
I think you are close to the mark. The thing that keeps me dragging them out is that I think some exercise keeps them young longer. Letting em sit there...
I wouldn't "retire" the bike. I would sell it to someone whom would appreciate it and use it everyday. But sounds like you have a real attachment to it. I know...
