550 Zephyr B2 UK bike to recommission and use

Post by linuxrob »

Bought this to use over the summer to go to wok and back. It will complement my owned from new 1980 Z500.
The Zephyr is a one owner machine and was used as a work bike till the owner became too ill and was laid up for a few years, the owner unfortunately died recently and his relatives advertised it.

Got it at work at the mo going through from front to back. So far brake seals kits all round and new brake pistons for the front. Sump off and cleaned, tank off and cleaned, lucky it is in good shape inside and out.

Will start a full thread soon.
