DescriptionThe whole story▼

The reservoir on a Z650 is visible from the saddle every time you ride it. LighTech's OBT001 holds 31 cm³: machined aluminium outside, clear plastic inside so the level stays readable. Anodising runs to 2 colours on the OBT001. It changes the part of the Z650 the rider looks at most.

  • Supplied individually for the Z650
  • Visible fluid level without removing anything from the Z650
  • Replaces the original plastic reservoir of the Z650
  • It is the cheapest visible change on a Z650
  • Fitting the OBT001 to the Z650 needs hand tools only
  • 106 g on the Z650

What It Fits

LighTech lists the OBT001 for the Kawasaki Z650. It is a universal article in LighTech's own description; the Z650 is the application, not the design brief.

Why Replace the Reservoir

Reservoirs are a styling part for most riders and a maintenance part for the rest. The OBT001 comes with a rubber gasket under the cap, which is what keeps fluid where it belongs. The bracket is a separate LighTech article and is only made in black.

Mounting It

The OBT001 goes on with the Z650 on its stand. Brake fluid strips paint — cover the Z650 tank and fairing before you open anything. Re-check the fasteners after the first ride.

Maintenance

A translucent liner only helps if you look at it; make the OBT001 part of the pre-ride check. Beyond that the OBT001 asks nothing of you.

What Is in the Box

LighTech ships the OBT001 complete except for the mount. Spares are listed under their own numbers rather than bundled.

The Second Part Number

A mount is not included with the OBT001. Mounting hardware is a separate line: OBT008 forward, OBT009 rearward, OBT003 as the general support. Tell us where you want it on the Z650 and we will put the right bracket on the order.

Regulations and the Hydraulic Circuit

Replacing a reservoir touches the brake system of the Z650, not just its appearance. There is no type approval for the OBT001; we say that plainly rather than bury it. Ask your inspection body about the Z650 before fitting, and do not skip the bleed.
