Z600

Post by timk11 »

I have a Z600 that I restored. About a month after it was painted a fellow
in a pickup truck turned into the driver's side and took out the door and
left rear quarter panel. I finally have it repaired and running after a
couple of years. Had a lot of trouble getting it to run consistently, then
the exhaust pipe that attaches the exhaust manifold and the exhaust pipe that
attaches to the front muffler broke completely. It was hidden by the carb
heat tin and I couldn't find the leak until it was catastrophic. Now I it is
running fine and getting slightly over 55 mpg in town driving.

stayed within the 55 mpg range + or - .3 mpg.
