How To: Install eBay Headers on a 2015 Kawasaki Z1000

[@bryanyoung8927]

What was the brand of the headers from ebay? Very nice look btw. Get ecu tune bro

[@3004andycox]

10/10 for effort lads

[@DarkRoast]

Thanks man lol

[@mohammedshukare]

Did u retune the bike after that?

[@DarkRoast]

I have not lol I’ve still been debating whether to get a tune directly through the ECU or to get a power commander

[@clninjarider17]

I would get the ECU flashed because the flash will delete o2 senor and also block the pair valves

[@kinderutz]

Installing those springs was my favorite part 😂👍 But Loctite melts and burns off ...won't do anything for that exhaust.

[@DarkRoast]

Oh they’re the worst lol honestly I feel like the loctite helps.. I’ve torqued down header bolts before without using loctite and they’ve vibrated off.. but then again it’s probably me riding it hard lol

[@natvega1]

So I guess you didn't swap out the header copper gaskets? If they leak from already haven been torqued down by the old header the ticking sound will make you think its a valve adjustment but its not, its those copper gaskets they must be torqued down evenly to spec so that they crush flat and don't leak, if you don't torque them you can burn the gaskets and have a leak, I think they are just over $10 each.😮

[@DarkRoast]

Now that I think about it. I definitely did not lol but good to know now! I’m going to have to get myself a new set of gaskets lol thanks for the info!

Is this compatible with a 2016 model?

[@DarkRoast]

Yes they are compatible with the 2016 model

Try vice grips to pull the springs

[@DarkRoast]

I’ll try that next time! Thanks!
