    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Been looking for oem replacement needle and seats for my 77 750..I sent bike bandit an email but they have yet to get back to me..(so much for their quick answer time)...Ive tried the k&L stuff and its junk to put it bluntly..springs in the needles arent nearly as strong as the OEM Mikuini needles..i didnt replace them in 09 when I rebuilt the entire bike..i chucked the seats up in the lathe and turned them to create a clean mating surface for the needles...but this year i'd like to replace them all with new OEM sets..I believe if memeory serves me right the number is 2.3 on the seat..anyone have any outlets for these? Thanks!

ebay they are the cheapest but he is out of Australia so the shipping is slow or your favorite vendor.

That is literally the first negative thing I have ever seen posted about Z1, but I sadly have to agree.

K&L Kits are Krap. Carbs, carb parts, brake kits, petcock kits -- all garbage. Rather dangerous garbage, in some cases. I've learned this through bitter, bitter personal experience. I have no idea why otherwise respectable vendors still carry K&L's junk.

With that said, I would bet that if you email or call Z1 and nicely tell the folks that you want genuine Mikuni bits, they would find them for you fast and at an excellent price. :clap:





There is the guy in Oz or NZ on eBay that sells needles and seats, and those are good parts -- I have a set in my GS850 now. No idea where he gets them.

Or, you could order new bits from your favorite Suzuki vendor. They will be genuine Mikuni parts.
