A 8mm socket will also fit, but not perfect. The trick with the pax seat is to keep the front two bolts in the base, slide the seat in with the slots at the front of the slide frame (the seat is all the way back on the slides and tilted forward. You can not slide the seat back now and there is not e...

Re: Anyone had a similar issue on Z1 not starting...
Have you tried the pressure regulator? Mine was faulty as the vacuum line got porous and wasn,t getting the pressure regulator not activating, which caused the fuel prssure to drop in the line. This caused the engine difficult to start but eventually would run.

Wonder if I need to grease the system a bit, but how to access??
Or the rubbers are to grippy on the windshield?

Seat panel lower tabs broken
Hello folks,...
up to the next failure, on my passenger seat the tabs that fix the panel at the bottom have broken off.
Wondering if repair is possible or even worth it, or should I order a new rear panel (not even sure if it is available!)

There is a switch at the back of the handbrake lever, under the leather cover.
Very simple connection that grounds out when the lever is pulled. I wouldn't call it a sensor...

Re: Z1 Will not start
You may want to check the vacuum hose that runs from the intake manifold to the fuel pressure regulator.
This line was porous and couldn't create sufficient vac to allow the regulator to work which meant that starting was difficult and also caused an increase in fuel usage.

Did you mount an DAB+ antenna too? Make sure that antenna is well grounded on the frame.
I have found that DAB+ reception is quite sensative, even driving underneath a bridge causes the signal to be lost
