You look like you have some guards on the lower fork legs, can you tell us what brand they are?

Out of breath get that check up

Hi mate hello from Australia... I hope you realise how lucky you are to have horses interrupting you?? I would kill to have that problem 😂😂... The more I research this bike, the more I want one... I just wish the yellow wasn't the only colour they do with the anodised aluminium and upgraded suspension?? also cruise control would seal the deal for me, but otherwise, it's the perfect bike for my needs!

Nice video 👍 side stand spring, you could bend the spring and fill the gaps with washers, then repeat on the opposite side.

Anyone have the link for this Z900 RS group in the UK on FB please? 👍🏻

I'm about to buy this motorcycle soon so this video was very helpful. Thank you Sir!

Thanks!

Awesome video! Will that mount work with the Garmin Zumo XT2 Motorcycle GPS?

I love the new tail.. i hate all these rediculous pertruding plate brakets

Skate lace hook readily available in sporting goods stores for those springs.

Those DOHC stickers are exactly what I want to see! In my mind they should have come standard

Congrats for an excellent review. I am in Australia and am intending buying one in october. Your video has a down to earth approach.

Hola Amigo 🏍️

Very useful video, thank you!

All very helpful stuff. Thanks for taking the time and effort!

estupendo,

Love the yellow, is it paint or decal ?

I noticed that you have Michelin Road 6 tires installed on your bike. I have been thinking of putting them on my Z900RS SE. How do you like them?

You can also use a spring tool for old style drum braked. And of the shiny chrome bothers you ( like it does me) you can paint the end pieces and slide a piece of heat shrink tube on to cover the spring . Just heat it enough to keep it on . I did it for my 1977 JZ 650c and it works great. Congratulations on the bike. This may be the next steed in my stable. I love the 2003 blue ZRX1200 but I’m 63 and pretty broke up, need something lighter than the zrx & Kz. I have a 2017 Honda cb500 x to take camping to explore on . But it is pretty gutless. I’m old and a little broke up but I’m not dead yet. And the wife would rather me ride this than a 20 year old stripper 🤔. Thanks for the video

Good on ya bro...good one...from New Zealand..

I currently have a Suzuki GSX 1400 but have been looking at the Z900RS as my mate had one. Great video.....these small modifications are exactly what i would do if i got around to buying one,and also mabye a 4-2 exhaust.......bike looks awesome and that tail tidy is 100% improvement over the original,as is the grab rail. Good stuff.

Excellent video my good man, very informative and user friendly. I have the Kawasaki Ninja 1000sx at present However, I shall be having a test ride on the Z900RS SE when mine goes in for service. What a stunning looking motorcycle, you're very lucky. Safe riding & enjoy every minute of it 😎🏍👍

you have tomtom my drive much easyier to use than garmin just make a route on the pc and sync with the navi done

Hi Steve . I am in Australia . Saw this clip and wondering if you could let me know exactly how to get that switch cover . ..looks genius . Cheers . Grant.

Just one thing with it being a brand new bike, dealers normally fit any accessories free when pdi is being done... just a thought.

Very informative video mate. 🇦🇺 👍🏼

Great jobs done, thanks for sharing with us.

Gorgeous.

What a wonderful bike... lucky bast... ;)

Enjoyed this thank you

It would be useful to know details of how you wired the the light units into the ezCan inputs🫤

gorgeus bike mate!enjoy

3:43 that would have been a great time to talk about the horsepower.

Having had surgery 6 days ago with an abdominal incision healing, I listen very closely as you describe putting on the DOHC decals. The photo and admission of the right side being put on upsidedown... 😂😬😂😬🤣 !! Painfully funny!! Best laugh in well over a week! Beautiful bike, my friend!

😃👍🇬🇧

Hi Steve, Alex here from Malta. Great video with good tips. I have the 2019 Z900RS and it is such an awesome bike to ride. That bit about the tail tidy with the reflectors bracket and that other part crashing down had me laughing as the same happened to me hahaha. I have been thinking about that center stand for a while and I will definitely buy it now from Motea.

the speckled stand raises the rear wheel very little, I had to weld two 4 mm plates to it

Where can I find the covers for the exposed wires?

Hi Steve, love the bike. I did the same as you with a fender extender not wanting to spoil it with screws. Came back from ride and yes, it was gone! Always do the rad guard, tail tidy as you did too

Does KZbin have an award for Best Unexpected Moment? Because I'd like to nominate that horse winney 🐴

Great video not bought one yet bit had a few Z 1000sx. Can I suggest you take the awful stickers off the tank,all the info on them can be found in your hand booklet, and in addition the paint on the tank won't fade and weather evenly because its covered up

Your bike looks great! I love my '19 Cafe. I put the Xitomer tidy tail on mine, it's very cheap but very easy to do. I also put on a Denali Sound Bomb mini horn. Puig mini (non LED) turn signals and a Dark SR Zero Gravity windscreen. I think you're going to love the ride.

I've got the self same bike new coming on the 28th of this month but also can't put it on the road until March 1st. Bought the grab rail, tank protector and radiator grill in silver with kawasaki stencilled on. I have also managed to obtain a reg of k900 followed by my initials, which it will be delivered with. For me, this is my retro bike, an older mate had a z1 in the early seventees that I always wanted but couldn't afford. English retros were really all before my time and I am 64. Most very young chaps of my age then were riding around on FS1E's and SS50's. I must like to warn you though, that if that fender extender comes unstuck and if the furthest end falls so it touches the tire, it could then jam under the existing mud guard, lock your wheel and bring you off. A similar thing happened to my ex wife on a bicycle and it nearly killed my son who was in a child seat, at the back, after the front wheel locked and my son's head butted the floor.

try using a hairdryer or a heatgun carefully on that bubble on your tankpad.

Can you send a link for the centre stand? I"d really appreciate it.

Looks good!

Get the springs powder coated

Most light kits come with a plug & play, so not sure on all this soldering you have done? I wouldn’t want to start cutting in to looms, I would however want to ensure the lights only operated when ignition was on, where did you take your feed for this from🤔 the USB socket or other?

Hi Steve,. Just stumbled across your spotlight vi, and looking to do same on 2022 GS , question did the spotlight cables reach back to hexcan or did you make your own loom up. If you did can you share what you used .?? Thx

How are the lights going? What price were they? Any good?
