Hi Guys. Just joined the forum Hope to have plenty of banter and exghange of info re the Z1300. Just spent the last 12 months restoring the classic.
Im based in the UK and have been restoring many of the old classic's for over 20 years.
In the future shall place photo's. As at the moment in the throw's of moving house.

Welcome aboard. Seems to be a fairly quiet site. We need more to "chirp in" Great place to find support for your bike. Lots of good stuff going on here. Enjoy!!!!
Cheers,
Kawboy

Gidday welcome from the antipodes.Lots of knowledge here and friendly to boot.

Welcome aboard, you have found a great bunch of Z1300 owners with lots of help and advice
and not to much abuse, well maybe a little bit for the deserving.

Thank you for the welcome.
Purchased bike in 2013 and had been in reg use. But lacked TLC. So project started to restore back to former glory. New exh system and seat unit. Was in the right place and time to get for £800. The rest was down to taking apart and cleaning and spraying. Carb's all cleaned out and set up. Bike all back together and then no electrics. 4 hours later with checking wireing and nothing amiss. Bingo found the problem. Whas in imobaliser mode .
Fired straight up on all six. Bled the cooling system, 2 attempts and all ok.Have not had bike on road as yet due to the english bad weather and work load + the up coming move. Hope to have time to ride, weather permitting around April, may whonce all the winter salt gone of the roads.
