What else can I help you with?
What type of oil should I use for a 1985 ZL900 A1 eliminator?
Any high quality multiple viscosity oil is acceptable for the A1 Eliminator. A high mileage engine should have a higher viscosity.
How to replace water pump on a zl900?
Tripped across this today so I don't know how old the question is-The water pump is on the shifter side of the engine. First take off the clutch slave cylinder that sits in front of the pump. Put a pan under the bike as you will lose clutch fluid,coolant and engine oil while you do this. Once you have the slave cylinder off, tie the slave hose out of the way. Next you will see the pump in front of you and remove the mounting bolts to the engine as well as loosen the hose clamp holding the hose to the pump. Here comes the "fun" part-right next to the rubber hose there is a rigid return line to the pump, held on to the pump by a seemingly hard to get to bolt. This bolt drove me crazy trying to get it out. You will have to go at it from under the exhaust at an angle, utilizing a long extension with a swivel on the end and an 8mm socket-I suggest a quarter-inch drive because you will be trying to squeeze between two exhaust headers. Once you remove the bolt the pipe will back out enough for you to wiggle the main body of the pump out. Do not move the engine once you have the pump out. Reverse the whole thing to install. Good Luck
