Add a sprint filter as well so it can breathe well. I went with a 16/43 setup and it still rides great but takes longer to get to top speed. It would be nice if this bike could rev to 12k because it feels like that's what it wants to do. Maybe add a QS as well.

Owning 2017 Z900, just exactly just yours test ride (except I did put on aftermarket slip-on exhaust cause it was toooooo silent, and I have black/red trim), I can't agree more. Well, it's a budget bike, but things like jingling blinkers etc. don't bother unless you care more about style above riding fun. What totally caught me is the universal usability for a naked "sport" bike. It provides comfort, power and handling at a very reasonable price. I'm really glad I got the pre-facelift model, no modes, no traction control, just ABS. Because it's just about the rider and fun combined with responsibility. But man, what you missed, is some twisties !!! This bike in factory default is able to keep pace with stuff like Triumph Street Triple 765R (not on close circuit with 765RS, though, but on the street? .. it does). And the usability in daily, with smooth tourque, going 50kmh in the town on 6th gear and accelerating by simple throttle roll on the end towards country road and still being faster than even a "stronger" cars there? And if you feel the need - down-down-down-shift and here we go, horses rise till the RPM limiter, while not loosing torque. Kawasaki honestly striked the pin-point here, no doubts.

I just bought a 2023 Z900 a couple of months ago and it has all the tech you are talking about wanting but I don't want all, I want no ride modes, just go. And it does have a lot of torque, I accidentally took off in 3rd from a stoplight a couple days ago and didn't notice. It seems to be a pretty peppy bike but my old 2015 Honda CB1000R would do 75 in first while the Z900 only does 50ish. I do like that the Z900 remembers my rider settings so I don't have to redo them every ride but it doesn't keep the temp and rider settings when in rider mode.

Ive owned many bikes including this one (2019) - and can agree with your point about no modes and being careful with traction- a few years back I overtook two cars in the rain and gave it too much throttle, back end came out to my right hand side at 70mph, fishtailed for 50 yards and THEN got a severe tank slapper as the rear settled. Thankfully I managed to save it, (Cold Stock tyres don’t help), but it makes you appreciate electronics a little more.

Moore Mafia does a video on how restricted these are from the factory… the throttle plates are restricted to fully opening until you hit like 7000-8000 rpm… a full tune sees a 11 hp gain at those RPM’s, with solid 6-11 hp gains across the entire RPM range. Those are massive gains on a bike. Also he raises the RPM limiter around 500 RPM because it’s still climbing in power… makes more power at lower RPM’s then a 600 super sport throughout the entire range, and will wax 600’s until you start getting past 120/130 mph where the 600’s top end, lower weight and better aero take over… all for $8399 for the top SE model in 2023 because Kawasaki has these listed for $1000 off right now… you will not get more performance per $ spent on any other brand new bike…

Hi Chaeontwowheels. I test rode a Z900 and a Ninja 650. The Ninja was blah and the Z900 amazing. So much smooth power! Loved it. On both I had a couple of missed gear up-changes. Mostly into third and fourth. I worked out that the position of the gear shifter was different from what I am used to, and the lever has to drop back to the bottom of its range to pick up the next gear. If I accidentally left my foot under it there was some play and it would not upshift. I needed to consciously drop my foot for the next change. I rode a GSX S750 and Street Triple and both had crisper gear boxes with less movement in the lever and I could not really miss a gear. The triumph had an outstanding box. Both second hand vs brand new. Similar for my Honda. Any comment from you or followers? Is this a Kawi gear box thing? New bike? Bad adjustment?

Dunlop D214 that comes stock on older z900 and z800 models are outright dangerous tires.

This video a year old now and just yesterday at a demo day I finally got to ride the Z650. I couldn’t get a slot on the 900. But the 650 was great. I owned an FZ09 before and wanted to check the Z900 out. Just didn’t work out. I test rode a MT07, didn’t like it, the GSXS750 was on overall but didn’t like the seat position. I’m leaning toward buying the MT09 again but the Z650 and maybe Z900 if I can ride one is now an official contender. But with the more dirt bike leg position of the MT09 make it fun on a dirt road because you could stand up. And………..you have the cross plane triple. I just don’t know if I can get past the triple sound and the ability to stand up. Still leaning toward the MT09 but the Z will be a contender. And as a side note, in NC the red light law, you can go if no one is coming but you have to wait 3 cycles of the light. So if no one else shows up and the light never cycles, you can’t just go. That’s the law in NC. I can’t speak for any other state.

Looking at a 2018, hoping it's not sold already, think I really like this bike.

Is that a Duke GT in the background? You should definitely do a ride on that one....

I'm scared to drive a z900 but I love it I want one
@mikv37523 жыл бұрын
Thanks mate for the lovely chase shots. Z900 never looked so awesome in any other videos ;). Its a 948cc of mature beast. Z1000 you were talking about I guess ( alien eyes ). 2020 z900 is not this comfortable now due to higher seat and a bit more lean forward angle. Hope you whacked open it up and hear that raspier growling intake exhaust note. Cheers 👍

The 2020 z900 is a much better upgrade. It has the full color TFT dash with Bluetooth, rider modes and traction control. Hopefully you can do a 2020 comparison soon! Great video chase!

Do the 2020-2022 model. It has all the fancy rider modes and a super nice dash

Chase the new one has a tft dash. It’s just an older bike. Even the new z650 has a tft. Kawasaki doing it right.

In Europe the Z900 is sold waaaay more than the yamaha. P.s the seat is lower indeed. There is an option to het the comfort seat which is wat and raises it like an inch. On the 2020> model this seat is stock and they reversed it

I know im kinda late, but this was my first actually fast bike or a naked bike, coming from a honda rebel 500 and its weird you found it twitchy or anything. I found it surprisingly easy to throttle and if you give it a lil twist, it only goes a lil and if you give it alot, then it goes alot. Mine was a 18 so dont know if that made a difference

Is it worth getting a 2017 z900 with 11k miles for 5,500? Owner says price is negotiable so there’s that and has aftermarket exhaust and tune would be my first bike I rode an mt09 zero experience had no problems but found the z900 for cheap..
