I wouldn't use 20w40, but rather use 10w50 for summer, I live in Perth, Western Australia, and we have very hot summers, the 20w part is the lowest temp, buy Penrite oil if you can, the 50 side will keep the oil good.
@@alanhowatson3462 thank you. In the Aude dept near Limoux. A bit more on the Z and scenery soon as I have to take it for a control MoT this week. New laws for classic bikes in France 😐
Very nice bike. On the look out for one at the moment. Spoke to a shop selling one and when I enquired were the valves done, he said they don't need checking unless you can hear something, all youtube bs 😂 any opinion?
@@paulsire difficult to say really, it’s unlikely a shop would want to go to the trouble to check the clearances. But these are old bikes now and you’d be very lucky to get one that doesn’t need something doing to it. Mine burns a little oil which I think is down to valve stem seals. Good luck in buying yours
Just bought a 75 Z1B . After many modern bikes finally found the perfect bike for me. Love it.
Really pleased for you, have fun
Never skip rhe test ride.😊
Another fine specimen for your collection. Beautiful bike.
Any excuse to take her out, thanks for the compliment

Good to know, thanks for your advice
Great looking bike and the scenery looks great, what area of France is it?

zpower are getting expensive
Everyone seems to be. I've found cmsnl.com to be very expensive lately, you really have to shop around
