I ride vintage trials on the East coast on a variety of British bikes that I build.Your sections are nice and long and go somewhere. Here they are short, tight, twiddly and consequently often boring. Alright if you ride a TY or SWM or similar. I am 73 and am looking forward to riding for several more years yet.

Just tape a socket to a yard stick to measure

I have a mint 1995 kdx with kx front forks set up. Im in love, i dont think i will ever sell this thing. So fun for enduro and mtn rides and keeps up with new tech. They are tall bikes though.

Thank you for sharing. 37.5 Jets R Us. Worked like a charm. You saved me a bunch of money$. The guy wonted $600.00 or more and I had to ship the bike to him & back to me. To the tune of $700.00 shipping. Hade no problems forking over $54.00 for four tiny little jets and that included $9.98 shipping to. I feel I should give you some money for your video. FYI my bike [1984 GPz 550 ZX550A1]. Thank you VERY much Bro!🏍🏍🏍😁

Man this looks fun!!

Hi, can you make another bracket you made and sell it to me? You have the answer I was looking for thx!!

Hi, I am Matt from West Yorkshire, England. I am 58 years young lol and when I was 15 back in 1981 I owned a 1979 MONTESA COTA 247. Now West Yorkshire is well known for breeding famous Trials riders and the LAMPKIN family from SILSDEN West Yorkshire are probably the most famous of them all The Lampkin Brothers started riding Trials back in the late 1950s on BSA's and a few other British brands but when the third brother MARTIN LAMPKIN farther of Doughie and Robert Got a factory ride for Bultaco in the early 1970s riding the famous Bultaco 325 Sherpa there was no stopping him winning many famous trophies and championships at home and abroad. Two years ago I bought a 1979 Montesa Cota 247 in a bad state of condition and three weeks ago I finished restoring it with a couple of sensible mods like an electronic ignition etc. Seeing your vlog I had to mention that I had one. I have owned a lot of motorcycles over the years both road and off-road and the Montesa always brought back fond memories so that is the reason I got another one. Anyway, thank you for the vlog I hope that there is a few more where this one came from. I also owned a YAMAHA TY 175 and 250 and I am looking out for both bikes to restore. Cheers Matt from BRADFORD WEST YORKSHIRE ENGLAND.

Wish I still had my Cota . I liked it better than my Sherpa T . At 76 my riding days are over.

I really like doing such DIY stuff on my bikes. But due to restrictions of staying in an apartment and not having a private covered garage where I can set these things up, I often dispose the ideas of working on something similar. Looking at your video I feel like moving into a house next to your and work with you 😄😄😄 Great video and lovely explanation. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Vintage is a lot of fun!! Been rocking the TY with the Puget Sound Trialers!

Facile. Bello bella natura

Nice video - one of my favorite trials, bummed I missed it this year. FYI, the OKO carburetor is not legal in AHRMA - there is a specific rule banning flat slide carbs (seems random to most of us but there it is....)

Great vid thx . Wish in the U.K. we had similar trials ( std wise ) for classics .

Cool video you shared. Thanks for taking us along on your ride. It was a very unique experience. I had never seen anything like it before.

Great video. We met you there on Saturday. Thank you for posting. BTW, cool bike, and you did well on the 3 line!

Just got the same bike off of Craigslist. Trying to get to the carburetor. But the air filter box and battery box are in the way. You sped through that part of your video. Anyway you could send me that part of your video slowed down?

It's so beautiful. Aged much better than the UT.

Man, what a detailed, clean and concise video. Thanks for putting this up.

Thank you for sharing. Have had issue with my 550 GPz for a while now and I have #32 jets installed. Will take 'em out and measure them to make sure that the #37.5 I found will fit and try that.

You said you like team green and you bought a team Yamaha blue bike 😊

Here from Germany, I have a KDX 125 1993, will those lowering links fit on it too?

Could you please share the sketch of the bracket?

I had the KMX 200 ,don’t look as good as the KDX did

would a kx125 carry around a 190 pound guy all day no problem? Looking to get another bike. Last one was when i was 17 it was an rm 125 Im now 35. Trying to figure out if i should go 125 or 250

Do you need that cap

excellent video ! , thanks for this !!

Everybody seems to think that engineers are stupid, putting airboxes on carburetors, instead of cute lil K&N's. If you knew how much thinking there is in an airbox design, you would leave it alone for sure.

Man Im on this same project right now how about you make another bracket like the one you made for your self to hold the tft display and sell it to me how can I contact you?

Miss mine so much. would love to rip on one again someday

Like the Miguel shirt lived in slade my whole life

Had loads of bikes over the years, but so far the TTR is my favorite! Maybe I'm just old now, but there's just something to appreciate about a bike that demands so little and gives so much. Fire up and ride all day no frills, bs or radiators to bust open if you lay it down on the rocks or sticks. Nothing simpler than an air cooled four stroke. It's an absolute beast on technical single track trails.

Very ingenious, but...why??? But wouldn't it be better to sell the Z 900 and buy the Versys 1000 at this point???

How do u make sure the left amd right riser tilt is the same (balanced)?

Thanks for sharing. Had a spare roxy risers from my old bike and was looking around for some tips.

*Correction. Sport mode is full power and traction control mode 1. A lot of people keep saying it’s everything off like you just did, but if you check the owners manual there’s a table showing the flow chart of the settings. The only way to get traction control all the way off is through the Rider settings. Great video btw! 💪

To move the forks, does the bike need to be on a stand?

I installed lowering links on my DR-Z 400 and it made a world of difference! At 5 foot 7 I can touch the ground with both feet and have the confidence to do anything I want. I wasn't sure how to set the sag with links but it's basically the same. Thank you for the video!

I just bought the 1" lowering link for my new 2023 KTM SX-F 350....praying it does the job!

Are you still riding this bike???

Nice work 👍👍🏆

Record yourself in case you forget how things were set up by Japanese factories you could always put it back same way

Sorry, but that new light looks like hot garbage. It completely screws up the vintage look of the bike. Of course that’s just my personal opinion.

I have an 82 like that that I’m trying to get back on the road. Where did you get their NOS boots for the carbs? By the way thanks for showing this, and anything else you can do with the GPZ. Also, what form board do you like that has the best community?

That was a nice presentation. Thank you.

Back in the day, before places like "jets-r-us" the Kawasaki Mechanics would use a drill and go up a thou or two in jet size. Nice bike ...that was my third Kawasaki at the time.

Hello! I'm looking to do the identical on my 2017 version. Do you think the cable lengths will be the same on the older model? EDIT: Turns out they are, you have a lot of room if you take the fairing off and find the black clip near the front of the bike. No problem with these 2" risers.

Omg what a nice Video! So much love in it! Live this Videos! Please do more custom Build Videos. It’s so nice to watch. Very Creative and Not like every z900. You got. my Abo Bro. Sorry for the Bad english im from Germany. I Must Watch All your Videos now Every day i Watch 1 Video ❤ Hope See more from you and your z900 Working on. Love How you costumize it. Share everything what comes With us pls 🎉 your Voice is so nice too. It brings me down to chill. 😊have a nice day ❤

gorgeous paint scheme

Beautiful place to ride

I keep coming back to this video - it's the best one on risers for the 2020 Z900. If one were to not need the ability to swing back towards the rider, just up, then would it make sense that the OEM top mount work? You would just need to fabricate a flat bracket to connect the OEM mount in its new position, so it aligns and clams to the other bracket (for teh turn signals. right?
