    Ok, so i got a Z. I got a few questions.




    \m/
    This the Z Hawkeye was selling, I bought it.
    Anways, I got a few questions. On top of the headlight plastics there is a diagram about a lever that I can pull when it is cold out and stuff. But it didn't give the location of said lever. Anyone know what I am talking about?
    Next question is, where can I get a powervalve for this motor? I heard it suppose to smooth out the power band, and that be good, because I have alot of hills around here that don't give me a run at it.
    Also, I heard that most people avoid waters with these machines. Why is that? I just gave it a water test....ok maybe 3-4, and it passed with flying colors....
    Finally, it needs plastics. I mean need, because it doesn't have any rear fenders. there isn't any on ebay, so does Yamaha still sell them?

    Brand new OEM fenders from Yamaha are around $100.... www.partswarehouse.com is the cheapest
    www.mrcycles.com little more expensive, but they ship anywhere.

    buy the oem fenders - still available from yamaha. Front fender needs to come from maier though. Oems are so much nicer and sharp looking too.

    looks like it will be a cool project to dress up - good luck with it. I have an 85 and an 86 and I really like how the tri-z fits and feels just right for all types of riding.

    I dont know why people say that about the water???? maybe there just scared.... Ive had mine up to the seat crossing the salamanca river on a poker run never had a problem!!! wouldnt take it any deeper than that due to the holes in the air box! even the 4x4 were gettin stuck... Not the Z

    i agree raffa.the height of the air filter makes the z a nice deep watercrosser,vs other bikes.but that stuff will still chew up the axle and swinger bearings.

    here is a z with black fenders bassman

    Has anyone ever gotten front fenders through mrcycles? Their only $27!!!!!!!!

    I'm skeptical.......

    What are they like? Anything like stock?

    Sweet, thanks guys!
    I guess it wouldn't look that great on mine. Maybe if mine were yellow it'd look better.
