Kawasaki Z900 ownership review! am i disappointed!

[@thinkingimpaired5663]

I've been looking forward to your long term review. Also glad that your going over you mods and satisfaction. My buddy used to change his bike oil every 1000 miles. I might consider quicker change intervals to keep the oil at its best

[@johnf517]

Thank you Bro… I bought the same exact bike and did everything you did except went with different exhaust… the quick shifter and ECU mod was amazing… really appreciate y0ur effort…

[@SoloMCRider]

Thank you 🙏 enjoy your ride Be safe !

I was looking into getting this as my second bike I’m 5’11 so glad to hear that it would be a great fit for taller people

The one thing I wish Kawasaki uses across there line is the chain adjustment they use on the ninja 1000 super easy to use.

Did you say the wind screen is from Kawasaki?

[@exothermal.sprocket]

What's your thoughts on the Z900SE that was just announced? I agree with you on exhaust sound. Running a de-catted full header requires a full-size muffler, not the mufflers designed as a general slip-on (because those are designed to run with a cat, which does a lot of noise reduction before the muffler). I do like the Leo Vince sound, but I'd be looking for the "Factory S Carbon" larger pipe. Larger muffler with more internal space/packing makes a deeper pleasing tone.

[@SoloMCRider]

Thinking about making a Vlog on new z900SE! Let’s see if I can make it happen:)

[@damacknificent151]

I love my Z900 but tempted to trade in for a xmax 300. They are practical and quick around town, not that the Z isn't but yes I'm contemplating the idea. Hope I dont regret.

[@SoloMCRider]

Maybe keep z900 and add Xmas 300 lol 😂 have fun with both!

[@damacknificent151]

@@SoloMCRider they won't fit in my garage lol, I also have a CRF300L, PCX150 and Metropolitan. My girl's like the scooters and to be honest I really enjoy the scooters too. Maybe sell the Metropolitan since it's a smaller cc bike

How did you install the smartphone support? I have no room there...

I use ram mount, it’s kind of hard but I did it somehow!

[@matteovelicogna7948]

@@SoloMCRider Thank you.

[@yahtzeejimbob]

You mentioned your bike having an ECU tune. Who did it where are they, and how much did it cost you? Do you have any acceleration jerkiness at lower RPM from the fuel mapping? How about sudden deceleration when you back off the throttle at lower RPM lower speed?

[@SoloMCRider]

Yes tuned by 2wheeldyno works, mail in ECU flash service. Cost me $240 , do not have any of the issues you mentioned in fact very smooth fuel mapping! I love it

[@yahtzeejimbob]

@@SoloMCRider thank you for the helpful reply!

[@Luca-cy3tg]

What mount do you use for your phone and is it a stock handlebar?

[@vvtor]

I have z900 2021, i have noticed that throttle is on/off bit abrupt on full power.

[@SoloMCRider]

At stock setting it’s a little bit, I came from MT09 so to me it was buttery smooth lol , now I have my bike ECU flashed so throttle is no longer an issue!

[@sander16v11]

Why don’t the us model come with led indicators?

[@SoloMCRider]

Wish I knew the answer 🤔 probably something to do with us regulations I assume. Thank you

[@regan_temudo]

Which Exhaust????

[@SoloMCRider]

Oem headers, de cat with akrapovic carbon slipon makes it pretty much full exhaust system!

[@PDM-95]

@@SoloMCRider for someone that is mechanically inclined, what would this type of job cost if I had some random bike shop or mechanic do this exact same exhaust system you suggested?

[@SoloMCRider]

@@PDM-95 probably $150-$200 I would assume. I’m not a mechanic just a finance guy and I was able to do it with $50 angle grinder, some research and other KZbin tutorials!

I finally got one of these but put on the m4 slip on. Have you ever "accidently" wheelied it? I'm nervous about the front end coming up in sport mode!!!

[@SpringfieldFatts]

Sport and Road have the same engine output, only Sport has less traction control interference. Don't whiskey dick the throttle in ANY mode and you'll be fine.

[@mikv3752]

Many people say MT-09 is more fun and has more character where as Z900 is plain Vanilla ( too smooth and linear ) and after a while gets boring. Did you feel it too ?

[@SoloMCRider]

Indeed MT09 is 🤩 and has more character! But Z900 was no slouch, I enjoyed the smoothness and the power and never got bored of the bike !

[@mikv3752]

@@SoloMCRider good to hear that :). 👍

[@Snotroggel453]

@@mikv3752 the z900 looks a dozen times better (sexier) than the MT. And if you put a full exhaust system on the kawasaki it sounds better too. The only thing i liked about the mt was the more upright seating position like a supermoto. But i still choose the z900.

[@mikv3752]

@@Snotroggel453 I totally agree, just heard that mt-09 is super torque and more playful in nature. Yes, after an exhaust z900 is a monster. 👍

[@kimw200blaze4]

The European and British bikes in competition to this bike are good, but I just do not think they can match that first-class Japanese engineering and reliability. Japanese bikes are just engineered to be extremely reliable and to work flawlessly.

[@101steel4]

Triumph are great

[@lovelessissimo]

I have a few questions for you about your bike, if you don't mind.

[@lovelessissimo]

Honest answers, though, haha. What kind of gas mileage are you getting? Do the mirrors vibrate a lot? How high up on your body does the wind go? What other mods do you want to do? Did you reflash the ecu? Where did you install the usb charger? Would you consider an aftermarket seat? What kind of tire life are you expecting?

[@SoloMCRider]

That’s whole lot of questions lmao , I gotta make a moto vlog to answer all your questions lol

[@lovelessissimo]

@@SoloMCRider haha I have more!

[@damacknificent151]

@@lovelessissimo i bought myself a brand new kawasaki Z900 almost a month ago. I had a few of those questions myself. My bike is stock meaning no exhaust or ecu flash. I do have some mods. But in stock form I'm getting honest 44 mpg to 48 mpg. I reset my trip and mpg Guage every time I fill gas. I do ride my bike from 75 mph to 90 mph and sometimes I push it to 120 mph. I don't baby it but I'm not super aggressive either. Sometimes I challenge myself to get better mpgs then the tank before ( a bit crazy I know ) I've just done my 600 mile service at the dealership where I got it. I'll do the rest from now on. But if you do change exhaust and ecu tune, I guarantee the mpg will change, most likely get high 30s mpgs. Because you have now free up mo power baby. Personally me... im keeping my bike stock other than cosmetic mods. I want to be quiet and stealthy. I have a yamaha road star cruiser and it's loud, so this will be nice to be silent ninja and not attract attention to myself, I you know what I mean 😉. Hope this helps. I'm happy with my bike, it's smooth, clutch is very easy and forgiving, easy to work on, fast and torque, light and agile, good fuel economy, fun bike and fun bike again lol

Sorry to hear that bro. I did adjusted my clutch when I got the bike to make sure the friction zone was set perfectly so I don’t grind the clutch plates. I do that with every bike !! Hope you were not popping wheelies the whole time lol 😂

Apples to oranges, but congrats. Ride what makes you happy.

Why not both? I got a Suzuki Intruder for the cruiser vibe. The z900 is a killer street bike. And the Suzuki is a classic 80s bike with a bullet proof 1400cc.engine.
