You can actually get small spanners that are called 'ignition spanners'. I got a set to use on my old classics. They work a treat as they are narrow and made just for the job!! Nice video
Great job mate ! Most workshops in my area of Australia have big signs saying they do not work on bikes over 10 years old. Glad to see you working on a beautiful 40+ year Kawasaki. Cheers.
@@themobilemotorbikemechanic Only two mechanics will work on my 1970's restored big 4 UJM's! Just two! So. I'm learning to do them myself. I'd love to see more of these vintage bikes on your channel mate. You are just brilliant!!!!!
Z 900 is most probably my most favourite bike? (Of all time)! Such a good looking bike, if i could ride a motorcycle id love to own a 900 myself? But unfortunat im to old to learn now? And by living off my pension , i just couldnt justify spendingbthe money for a really good example of this machine?.
I'm just about to do this job on my 78 Z1000 pity about the loss of footage, how did th coils mount, was it necessary to fabricate something to fit onto the frame mounts?
@@themobilemotorbikemechanic hey no probs, shame have an MV Agusta F4 1000 that has some electrical gremlins and would like a good look over … lovely bike for a vid
I would rather put them on the floor and not have them drop off the bike and smash on the floor. We work outdoors and do not have a work bench to put them on.
I was going to ask the above question , for my future needs where are you based and do you travell to south wales, i dont trust the local dealers had prblems eith thier service,and my mate just had a 1st service on his bike and when he got home oil pissing out of the sump plug that was not done up , the palava he had they wanted to send the AA out to retighen and refill his bike , he said no way he wants the bike full checked over by another mech checking all his work, prob an aprentice done the oil change and not having his work checked, i have a new gsx 8s and not far off the 7500 mile service bbut will be taking to another dealer , shoddy work seems the normsl standard for some garages

A lot of places nowadays shy away from older bikes. If you can’t plug them in to see what’s wrong they aren’t interested. 😞

Beautiful bike 🤘
Shame you lost the part of the footage I’d most liked to have seen 😢
Another lovely bike. What a great job to have. Super uploads these.
Glad you enjoy it!
Shame the first part of the video didn't work out but the rest, as usual, was very good. Thanks for posting. Ride safe, regards
Beautiful bike
What a great Z - you do get variety - great video, thanks.
Many thanks!
How far out do you travel for jobs. or does that depend on price. cheers
We are based in Leamington Spa in Warwickshire and cover an area of 50 miles from there.
Have you got any recommendations for mobile mechanics in Edinburgh to work on a z1300?
Sorry no and we definitely do not cover that area!

Why are you too old to learn? Everyone has to start somewhere.
good video but i will stick with my Dyna S & coils with high suppression silicon leads
Fair enough!
I'm just about to do this job on my 78 Z1000 pity about the loss of footage, how did th coils mount, was it necessary to fabricate something to fit onto the frame mounts?
The coils mounted up to the frame very easily utilising existing holes.
Hi do you travel as far as Newbury ?
No we don’t cover that area sorry

I would never leave the new parts on the floor, and then put them on the bike. It just looks so disrespectful to the customer.
