$35 EXHAUST modification IS A MUST. Z900RS

#z900 #z900rs #exhaust
Welcome back to the vlog. Picked up a Z900rs Cafe a couple of months ago. Loving the bike so far and everything is going along as planned with the build. Waited to get the color I wanted and for Kawasaki to work out the issues with the first few years in production.
This is an exhaust modification that costs $35. WORTH EVERY PENNY.
Let me know what you guys think and what kind of mods or videos you'd like to see on this or any of my other bikes.

For cutting through exhaust pipe I have a cutter that is basically plier handles with a chain on one handle and a hooked fork on the other handle. The chain has small steel cutting discs between each link of the chain. You wrap the chain around the pipe, hook on the forked end of the cutter handle to the chain, squeeze the handles and rotate the chain around the pipe. The discs cut into the pipe and in about four or five back forth movements, the discs cut right through. It makes nice clean and straight cuts. It's saved my rear many times when cutting pipe or round crap in tight places.

[@dorian_vlogs]

Sounds like an effective tool. I usually take the path of least resistance and do things correctly. To be honest I got a little stupid on this one. It was a lesson learned.

Remove the header, then cat along with a proper tune to open the secondary flys. I remove them with tune , proper stacks and air box mod only, no flash. Though still heavy, I bet the stock front header section gets within 2 HP of the best header out there. DW

@@dorian_vlogs how much louder does it get - let‘s say at cruising speed. would you say it is screamingly loud and sticks out against most bikes. over here in europe regulations are quite strict in terms of decibel. i would want to avoid somebody pulls me over and starts measuring loudness

[@dorian_vlogs]

@speedcable oh gotcha. It's a very nice added sound under throttle. Definitely noticeable under full acceleration but cruising speed adds just enough of a growl, nothing crazy or obnoxious.

[@gm16v149]

I’ll be honest, I like the noise the factory OEM system makes. Not too quiet, not too loud. I know the exhaust is heavy etc etc but I didn’t buy my Z900RS for ultimate performance. I’ve done some trackdays and it didn’t shame itself. If you want real speed get a ZH2! Or hire a S1000RR at a trackday like I do! Appreciate the time it took to make the video.

[@thebigempty_5792]

Same could be said for the Triumph Bonneville T120 with the peashooter pipes. I had mine de catted with a Motone X pipe and some sweet British Customs Predator Pro slip ons and that bike came ALIVE! I got looks and thumbs up all the time. Yea, the Bonneville was no super sport but that low end grunt and sound sure made it fun!

The 900 isn't a true race bike. It's a heritage/retro that can be tracked. I would love to have one, but since I'm a poor old Man I'll settle for a Triumph speed double. As long as we are riding, that's what matters.... Just my Dumb 2 cents.....

[@fitzfarm8694]

I know it's tempting to spend $35 for a piece of exhuast pipe, but nothing can beat a full exhaust system and an ecu tune. Even just aftermarket headers with a tune and stock silencer work great on this particular bike. I never understood making a machine louder for no reason other than to sound "cool". For me it's about the performance of the machine...

[@dorian_vlogs]

Your opinion. Not a fact. The aftermarket headers don't make the bike any better. Check out the forums. It'll help explain what I'm talking about. The factory headers are high quality and thicker than aftermarket. As far as flow, it's the same. There's very little restrictions on factory headers. A tune? Yes that would help performance. As far your comment about just noise, you're incorrect. Removing the bread basket like we did here, helped the bike breathe better. It's not just about sound. Like I said, check the forums. Moore mafia has a good video on this bike.

[@fitzfarm8694]

@@dorian_vlogs Helping the bike "breathe better" doesn't do much for performance without a tune. If anything it will run leaner than it already does stock. I never said the oem headers were bad. They are very high quality for a bike at this price point. They are "thicker" because they are double walled. Kawasaki did this for heat dissipation. Basically to keep the engine heat away from the rider. The actual thickness of the header pipe is very similar to aftermarket headers. If you removed the catalytic converter and then didn't tune it what was the purpose other than to make it louder?

I have a 2023 Z900 ABS (not RS version) and have been dying to do the breadbox delete. Good to see it can be done without removing the headers. I plan to do it this spring and don't want to go through the hassle of removing the headers if possible. I wonder if a sawzall with a long enough blade could get in there without hitting the engine itself. The sound after is so much better!

[@dorian_vlogs]

Honestly if I had to do it again, I'd remove the headers. It was way too much work making sure the engine doesn't get touched. It can be done but removing the headers would cut the time by a couple of hours. The sound after?, absolutely night and day. 🤙

Going to get my 22 flashed and midpipe installed. Going to let a bike guy doit and dyno tune as well. If i get 2 or 3 hp, lose 5 or 10 lbs and get that awsome sound, ill be golden. Thanks for the video!

[@dorian_vlogs]

Awesome. Keep us updated. Any gain is good. 🤙

[@aldonova71]

Any map change?

[@dorian_vlogs]

No map change. It was more for the sound. Any performance gains are negligent.

Would a sawzall have cut right through that?

For sure. I was committed to the process and I didn't have one handy. But yeah it would've easily cut thru it.

@@danbrauner9247 thanks bro. More videos coming. Headlight is pretty good. Not bad at all. Only high beam is kinda crappy.

[@painsrides3616]

lol... "5 hours later", you said it at the end, should have taken the full exhaust off.... Great sound improvement. Now get it tuned and the ecu restrictions removed.

[@dorian_vlogs]

For sure. Should've taken it off. Would've saved hours. 🤙

[@SquireSCA]

Yeah, I took mine off, made it a lot easier... And to be honest, the bike needs new headers to get significant power gains. We picked up a paltry 2hp from the decat, ECU flash and custom tune... Headers give easily 8-10 HP with a tune. The decat just drops weight and sounds amazing.

[@dorian_vlogs]

@@SquireSCA awesome. I was wanting more sound and so I achieved that. Needs a tune to get hp gains. Your metrics are spot on. 👌

[@SquireSCA]

@@dorian_vlogs Yeah, it sounds brilliant and drops weight, so its worth it. But the double walled headers are very narrow and kill top end power. We smoothed it out on the dyno, but 103hp was all it had in it, and that included a high flow filter and Ivan's airbox mod. The motor really stops pulling in higher gears when you get up in the revs... I had it out on track and hit a wall in 6th where it just stopped pulling.

[@dorian_vlogs]

@@SquireSCA good info. Good to know. I have a couple if other bikes so for me personally the power band is perfect. For track use and to reach its full potential it definitely needs more power and different gearing.

@@dorian_vlogs Hey I researched it some. They do make a 4--4 exhaust for the 900. mecatig - vattier exhaust. Buuuut probably some $$$.

Hey what about that piece of cat remains in headers? You pull it out?

[@dorian_vlogs]

You can, I kept it in. Didn't want it to be too loud. I bet it sounds good with the other part out as well but it sounds way better than stock if you keep it in there. Let me know how it sounds if you remove it. I'd appreciate it.

This is a worthless mod, and a waste of time. Swap out the manifold for a header and gain some real quality performance and sound. Look at the inside diameter of the factory header and you'll understand.

Your opinion, that's cool.. everyone loves the sound.

[@archibaldcunningham2569]

I would never do this to my Z900RS. Never, in a million years. Destroys much of the awesome character of the machine for no gain. Not only no gain, but for a giant negative loss. The riding experience after removing the bread box is so much worse than stock. But, whatever floats your boat. This couldn't possibly be justified in any way.

[@dorian_vlogs]

Don't worry bud, you're not going to live a million years but I can assure you that I'd rather be optimistic and wrong than pessimistic like you and right. Having said that, out of dozens of people that have heard it live, literally not one person has disliked it. Sorry bud but you're batting 0 on this one.
