The Zephyr Zone

Hi Spannerman. Welcome, good luck with getting it running.

There's a guy on youtube doing a series on restoring & flipping a 750.

It kind of shows what happens to them.

The some interesting stuff on the Workshop, if you don't mind the swearing.

I've been to Beddgelert in Snowdonia, 180 miles round trip. Nice weather good riding, but I am going to have to do something about that seat. Numb bum after an hour.

The 1100 cover will fit the 750 seat.

The airbox makes a big difference on these bikes, try to get it put back together correctly.

If you own a 750 its par for the course. Mines exactly the same.

Hope its nothing serious Ivor.

The parts fiche has a diagram. https://www.fowlersparts.co.uk/parts/3205198/zr750-c4-1994-luminous-vintage-red-gb/carburetor-parts-1-2 I find Fowlers good for online ordering, if you can't get to your local dealer. Just realised youve got a 550, but the Parts diagram is on the Website for all 3 Mode...

I've started going to work on mine. 25 miles each way, no traffic, good weather. Up until now it's been great. Normally I would manage once a week If I was lucky, but since lockdown I've been doing 3 or 4 every week. It is sharing duty now with a Triumph Legend.
