SOURCE: spark plug was drowned from the gas
It could be that the floats in carb are sticking, or the the carb is adjusted way to rich allowing more gas to enter cylinder than what can be burned off.
Otherwise, you may have a weak coil which is not giving the bike enough spark to ignite all the gas.

Yes, replace fuel hoses as necessary. This is a serious fire hazard!
SOURCE: 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.
