How to add Karakter to a Kawasaki Z900RS!

[@garynicholls6964]

We had straight through pipper 4-1 on our z900s back in the seventies and eighties they sounded amazing. Them were the days no speed cameras no speed humps. Half the amount of traffic it was like mad max😂

[@SteveInskip]

I’ll second that. I had a Z1R. Used to get into 3 figures down the A52 to Derby in those days. Wales was tremendous.

A mate had a piper 4-1 exhaust on his 500/4. You could track his progress around the town centre for about 5 minutes before he showed up. It sounded fantastic. There was also a local legend with a 6 into 6 on a CBX, no such thing as ear plugs back then either.

[@oggyoggy1299]

I LOVE the stock exhaust both looks-wise and sound-wise.

[@VinCode17]

[@splodge57]

It is louder but noise doesn't mean character. In the past I found the novelty of a louder exhaust on a 4 cylinder bike soon wore off. It's more the feel and feedback of an engine that gives the bike character. Lower revs and higher torque is always a good start as is the note of a twin cylinder engine.

[@twowheelin7361]

There’s riders that feel a two stroke has character and four strokes are just lawnmowers.

Yeah , I used to like loud exhaust pipes. Now I want a nice balance between exhaust and intake sound. I think this particular bike does that thing very well, all stock.

You answered my question about re-mapping or not. Glad you don’t have to. I just bought a’24 Z900rs and I agree, it could be the perfect bike. In 1979 and again in 1983, I had Honda in-line 4 cylinder bikes. I missed that smoothness and the Retro Styling, and this bike takes me back.

[@bailey-cj2pl]

Absolutely Fantastic!! Finally !! I did the same to mine, then i urge you to get it dyno tuned /re mapped. I did mine at 'The bike whisperer' here in Devon. The difference is night and day. All the fueling is lean at the moment because the ECU is programmed that way onto a closed loop system. When you get it tuned the bike will release ALL its power, and read data from its ECU, through each gear. The bike will run cooler and happier too. Also, no high cold idle, which is just to warm the CAT up asap, at the cost of excessive cold start wear. Do some research and see fr yourself. Recommend the Z900RS forum!!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

[@ticthedog6095]

Good to see another Z video. Can get my head around the 4into4 as back in the day most owners threw away the original exhaust to fit a 4into1 I did same but with Akra headers and ended up putting a baffle in and blanking off the pair system. A trip to Dave Wood in Buckingham and run on the dyno is a good investment as the ecu will only allow the bike to work within the parameters of euro5, so it will running weak, you can also get the temperature the the cooling fan comes on lowered.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Ooh good recomendation - maybe I'll look him up!?

[@marcelparcel88]

I've done the exact same to mine, using the same headers. The sound is vastly improved and I found that the bike felt quite a bit lighter too. I also recently added a Sprint Filter which has made it louder again. I'm getting my bike remapped next week, it definitely needs it.

I’m not particularly a fan of loud pipes, but this “upgrade” whilst subtle enhances the grunt without turning up the volume offensively. Loved all the comparisons at the end too.😊

Totally agree

[@markellott5620]

It sounds just fine in its stock state. Making more noise doesn't add character. It has that already in its silky smooth engine and four cylinder howl under acceleration. I'm keeping mine just as it is.

Fine Mark, it’s your bike you do that then!

[@TheHkluivert]

I agree, and many reviewers have written that Kawasaki did an excellent job with the exhaust on the Z900RS; so much character within the soundlimits. I really like my 2018 Z900RS including the sound. Sometimes I feel like KZbinrs like Andy here are searching for things to change, just to create new content…🤨

[@chrisk1084]

First I bought a red Yamaha XSR900, but my brother wanted to buy it after 1.5 months, so I went and bought a 2024 Metallic Diablo Black Kawasaki Z900 RS-SE instead, which I have not regretted. I've owned Harley touring bikes before, so yes this bike is small in comparison, but so is also the price, insurance, road tax, and service, so no, I'm not complaining. The tank holds 17 liters of petrol, which is enough for five days back and forth to my work. (About 335 km of driving, or 43.5 miles.) I'm also going to buy a Dash cam.This bike is very easy to ride and very practical to ride to work with as the size allows me to keep it in the scooter garage as well at work, and it also works well with riding in an urban environment.

HI Andy . I just did the 16 tooth front sprocket upgrade on my SE & what a difference . More usable first & 2nd , in 6th 500rpm drop not as wheelie crazy & reduced the snappy throttle substantially substantially. For the cost of a sprocket well worth considering. Cheers Greg.

[@kevinpick194]

Nice work Andy. Had my ECU remapped and a tune (Jordan Bikes, Leeds) yesterday to smooth out the throttle (something you are not afflicted with - lucky devil) then rode 150 miles home (I took a long and winding route through the Yorkshire Dales and North Yorkshire Moors and Yorkshire Wolds) to give it a thorough test. And, as we discussed before, it has really smoothed things out and with the added horses and torques (achieved through the tune) my Z900RS has even more character and added fun-factor and rides as it always should have (darn them Euro 5 fellas). Really glad you have found another reason to love your RS even more.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Fantastic - enjoy! Out of interest do you mind telling me how much the Dyno/tune up cost?

[@kevinpick194]

@@TheMissendenFlyer It was £450 all in (Incl VAT). They had the bike for four hours. Took the ECU out, did the new mapping (using Woolich software), did the tune on the Dyno and then put it all back together. Prices elsewhere were on a par (give or take £50) with that when I was researching it. I don't trust myself with a spanner (please don't hate me internet) so I let the experts do it.

Sounds awesome to me! I've used, and fitted to friends bikes, Delkavic silencers, really good quality and reasonable prices. You'll find, the exhaust note will 'deepen', over a period of time, as carbon etc. (naturally) builds up in the pipes. Good choice mate, Z900 sounds like it should (IMO)

[@Dean-does-Stuff-81]

I did the same trick on my ktm 890 smt Andy. I like the look of the standard end can, and simply fitted the arrow de cat. Now it sounds great but to the cops, it still looks standard. It's a bit of a shame that you didn't just fit the pipes your self. It is a pretty easy job. Just bolts.

They ride much nicer afterwards. I would suggest a more free flowing airfilter or airbox if one is available too. Kawasaki are brilliant at making engines which growl through the intake and I can't tell if its just the mic not picking it up but it sounds very muted on the intake side. Have a listen to a few onboards of some zx-9r's or similar to hear what it could sound like.
