2007 kawasaki Z 1000 Questions & Answers
Not a Z 1000 actually
check air fuel mixture, or might be the fuel float not functioning properlyobserve it overnight...
1980 kz1000 carbs not right,
Normally approximately one turn out is a good place to start.The screws control air and not fuel like most do. Turning them clockwise will reduce the air and richen the mixture.
The air screws are up on the sides of the carburetor bodies and are angled upwards to the outside of the bike. Pilot fuel mixture screws sit in the well on the engine side under the carbs on the bowl. You will need to check where the screws are on your model carb.If screws on up on sides of the carb then there is just air screw and no pilot fuel adjusting screw.
There is no setting for the pilot fuel mixture screw as a spec. The book tells you to reseat the screws and count the number of turns in. Set them to 1 3/4 turns out from lightly seated. Service fuel level is 4mm and float level is 26mm.Move the clip on the needle from 4 back to 3.

Have a ZLl000 Leaking
Hi.
The leak is in the air filterin carb models was caused by the float ball being stuck or broken. You could detect the problem because of the high oil level resulting in consequence of the fault.
The Z1000 uses a more complex air box injection system, but a defective fuel valve will still result in an incorrect oil level. Check the oil level. If it is higher than normal you may need to check the reed valves delivering mixture to the engine. I think this engine also uses a pingel or other vacuum operated valve. Check also the vacuum system for leaks. This check is done using a hand pressure tool like this:
Lisle 20300. Place the tool in lines and spray carb cleaner on vacuum hoses, if vacuum pressure goes up, then there is a vacuum leak that can lead to incorrect opening and closing of the valve and cause the leak in the air filter.
Here also an interesting forum explaining how to play with the ZL1000 air box.

FI stands for Fuel Injection. The fuel system sensors have detected a problem. It could be anything > a dirty air filter restricting airflow, a plugged injector, an error in fuel mapping, any number of things. Serious problems can trigger the computer to prevent the engine from starting until the problem is fixed. You will need to take the bike to a dealer to have them plug in a code reader. The code reader will tell you exactly what problem has been detected. There is also a chance a sensor has gone bad and is giving a false signal. Keep that in mind. Now determine if you want to do the fix or have the dealer do it. Please rate my answer.

My z1000 engine doesnt start,been told ive got
Do a compression check on all cylinders. The lowest reading should be within 10% of the highest reading. If it is, then a stuck valve is not the problem. Install new plugs and check for spark on each plug. You didn't say what year the bike is. If you have carbs, drain the carbs. Water condensation filling the carbs could be the problem.
