Fork Oil measurements
Hi,
You will need 150cc of 5W20 oil for the forks. You can buy the oil pretty much at any place that sells oil. It's the same oil as the dealer has but MUCH less expensive.
...glad to see there are more like you keeping the old Z's on the road.

Where does the hose from
hi.
that should either be the fuel pipe, going to the fuel tap.
or possibly a vacuum pipe, probably still going to the fuel tap (there may be a fuel cut off system at the tap depending on the model)
hope this helps
Hey i got my z250c
It needs a good battery( new)
It can also damage the regulator, jump starting off a larger battery, or running with a stuffed battery.
When the new correct battery it fitted, get a volt meter, and put it across the battery terminals.
It should read 12v engine stopped and about 14v engine running, if it doesnt rise the regulator may be damaged.
The fact it is boiling the battery may just mean the regulator is working, but just cant charge a shorted battery
Re my query yesterday,
Hi, Castle Hill Motorcycles seems to be the main bike shop in your area, lot of dealers go overboard on repair work, grab your local phone book and even your local accessories store usually will know someone who repairs bikes in your area without charging and arm and a leg, shop around, what is the problem with the bike, maybe you can fix it yourself!!!

Unless the carbs and tank were carefully drained when it was parked up, you're going to probably need the carbs and fuel system cleaned. Miracles can happen though, put a litre or so in the tank on reserve and give it a go. The reason I say a litre is that it's not a lot to drain when you find the bike doesn't run worth beans. Some people would pull the valve cover off and oil up the dried out cam and followers before starting but it's unlikely you'll cause any damage. If you do need the carbs cleaned, don't let just any idiot do it. Take it to a pro.
