The blog is packed with repairs, maintenance, and modifications for the Z1R. To be honest, it covers some pretty intense stuff, like completely disassembling and overhauling the engine, which isn’t something you can casually tackle. I definitely don’t recommend trying this yourself.
Veteran riders might find plenty to criticize, but please view it with a kind eye, thinking, “Here’s a guy who’s found something to enjoy besides just riding his bike”
