Aussie great man

@@Meme86ful I know

hahaha, true

Yep i think stock they sound good,But the sound is like music to your ears..Love this, Thanks for watching mate.. Enjoy the Z900RS..

After hearing my bike in person I agree with all the comments I’ve heard about the stock exhaust sounding amazing. Too bad the only good looking imo single exhaust available is Brock’s and they don’t sell just the slip on. I think I’d be happy with the stock can and Akropovic header for the better flow. It seems as though quite a few people would agree.

Thanks mate,Just had to do it...Appreciate the support,Just got to keep it real, Thanks for watching. :)

Glad you watched it to the end...Bonus.. Thanks mate.

Unfortunately I don't have access to a Dyno, Am sure someone will do it soon though. Rode a couple of hundred kms on it on Sunday and it didn't miss a beat..Pulled well and no backfire on the rundown at all, Sounds great going through the hills....Will load that soon,Thanks for watching, Enjoy

Yeah they go on about the 4 into 4 but you are right always put the 4-1 on them,Love that sound...Thanks for watching.

Just need Star to make a 4 into 1 drag pipe and all will be good.

Na mate .. Prefered the 4 into 2 drag pipes..Cross-over variety.

On my 2002 Aprilia Mille R, Stock it came with a massive muffler. It looked like a Cannon. I ended up putting a full race Arrow system on, that has 2 high Arrow cans on side of tail. I could have went with a single and save weight but the bike is already a little heavy. So I went with the 2 high mount cans for sound and looks. People love that loud thunder. I love bike but realize modern sport bikes handle much better. Sometime it's not always about the weight. The best thing about loving bikes is eventually buying multiple bikes for different situations.

@@beamdoctor5637 Hmm multiples: I own three Tuono's '04, '14 & 21 & my Brother owns 2x '08's an R & a Factory. lol

Thakns Cool Rider25, I love doing it as i say," That is why we ride..."Thanks for your comments, Enjoy..

I hear ya John Edwards, I will let them know..Great bike to ride as well, Thanks for watching.

Get out and ride it, You will be an owner for sure...Thanks for watching mate..Enjoy

Ian Levy My pleasure Ian,Glad you enjoyed it mate,thanks for watching 🇦🇺👍

Cheers mate,Thanks for watching and commenting on my videos mate,Much appreciated..Great to see👍🇦🇺

Just having fun jonny allan...Just having fun...

The only thing that could make a Ninja 400 sound like the ZXR400 is jam a 4 cylinder in her....Thanks for stopping by mate..

Can't beat the sound of an unrestricted inline 4 Kwaka....Thanks for watching mate....

My pleasure, Hope you get your fitness soon as this is one cool bike to ride, Thanks, for watching,Enjoy...

Aussie Kawiman thank you m8 I rode a bmw r9t but sold it after brain stroke struck in 2017 cheeers

They will make you smile.. Thanks for watching mate, Enjoy :)

@@AussieKawiman the sun is shining here today in Ireland so out the side gate of my house I'll be gone for a spin .....I like'd the way you put it up on its back wheel.....

@@mattlock5880 , Great to here Matt, Get out and give it to it. They are so much fun to wheelie... Love it enjoy the summer..

@@AussieKawiman just finish work now I'm a taxi driver here in my city....limerick city of Ireland.... Yes went out on it today for 3 hours I kept within the Irish road speed limits ( ya rite that didn't last long )....I have 5 z"s....z1000 ltd 1980 z900 A4 1976 z900 ltd 1976 & z1000 A1 1977 & z900 rs some fays I don't no what to sit my ass on ....I turn 50 this Summer but I'm a young 50 I still think I'm about 25 when I go on my bikes especially when I'm on my older z's .....haha....

@@mattlock5880 , Sounds like a great garage you have there... Yeah i just turned 49 and I wold say i still feel like a young fella carrying on everytime I get on a bike...I only work in the industry just to ride all the different bikes.. Stay cool and enjoy the riding mate..

Just clamped straight on, Thanks for watching., Enjoy

Aussie Kawiman Your set up is the best!! Well done.

Lucky you..I am waiting for another demo so i can get back out and ride, I absolutely love riding this bike and when i get on anything else i am dissapointed... Thanks for watching 10 + times....Enjoy..

I hear ya mate...love it..

Thanks mate, Just can't help myself....Glad you like.Thanks for watching mate..

Agreed mate, The stock set up looks the part and still sounds really cool. Kawi spent a lot of money getting it right..And succeeded I would say..Thanks for watching

Music to the ears..Thanks for stopping by mate..👍

I only scanned the vid but didnt i see a full system??

@@craig_sez8534 , The full system was a bit crap looking, As soon as i saw that the headers slipped onto the standard muffler i was like...YES Please..Sounds great, When i get my next demo i will put the ful lsystem on to show you mate, thanks for watching,...

Sorry who designed that, the factory one looks so much better.

I bought akrapovic headers and kept the stock muffler, I have yet to wheelie the thing though :(

instaBlaster.

Thanks mate..Glad you liked it..Thanks for watching...Enjoy

I did not realise, I have not watched it for a while, May have to sort something out., Thanks for persisting and watching, Hope you liked it, Cheers...

Sure are a nice bike as they come out.... Enjoy

"Ditto" 😂😂🤣😁

Спасибо, приятель, это чертовски отличный велосипед .. спасибо за просмотр ... Наслаждайтесь .. :)

Sweet as, They are awesome.. Enjoy

@@AussieKawiman some people say that the throttle is snatchy what's your opinion?

@@dominic9279 , I have not really noticed it, I do ride a lot of bikes though.. But is small thing for emissions or something.. Does fell a little snatchy though..Nothing too serious though.

Yeah mate agreed, We are running a Woolich ECU tune and that seems ok, but would love to have a Dyno to adjust more..Will try a Booster plug in next set up..Cheers mate.

@@AussieKawiman BTW, I ended up buying a Z900RS Cafe for $9350 USD and I love it! Kawasaki really got the exhaust tone right but I am thinking of putting the Akra header on, because I've read that the bike sheds 14 lbs. or 6.5 kg by eliminating the cat and, as evidenced by your video, the Akra gives the Z a louder and deeper tone. Like you, I will leave the stock can on the Akra header because Kawi got that right, as well. I threw the Booster Plug idea out there because it worked well for me on a bike in my past and is simple and low cost. YMMV. Cheers and have fun on your Z!

@@RedRoo13 ,Nice one...Love it.

11:11 now ride directly to dyno centre

Thanks mate, we think so too,Thanks for watching mate..

4 years later and all the mufflers available are still ugly as sin. The Delkovic 4-4 look stunning but not really my thing I like the single can. Brock’s is sweet but only available in a full system and crazy $$$$$

Rock and roll......

Oh yeah, Sure is, The sun ids finally out here after 4 weeks so hopefully get a ride in on Sunday...Thanks for watching.Enjoy

MICHAEL P ,Thanks mate will try and keep em coming👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Thanks James, Still getting views years after, And still a great bike. Thanks for stopping by mate..enjoy.

rides.naked ,Yep correct with the design so nice,as for colouring on the headers well not really,still looks as new after 1300klms I actually sold them onto a new bike because the factory had ran out.So bike in video is now back to standard.Thanks for watching 👍👍

jack bruce ,Yeah probably does need tune but the spluttering was the traction control stopping the engine from reving any more.Thanks for watching 👍👍

Aussie Kawiman didnt even think of the traction control. Thanks for the correction mate. Love your vids

Ye the stand can well nicer set up and get set up on rolling road and air filter upgrade be nice to see the hp different

No worries Benjamin M, will do it when i get a chance...Thanks for watching, Enjoy...

The old beasts were a bit of a handful, The new ones are nothing like the old, might look similar but amazing what 40 years of technology does.I have still scared myself a few times on the new ones.. :O Thanks for watching mate..Enjoy :)

We think so too, Thanks for watching ..

I had a look at the pipe and it is a slip on, To get any decent sound out of the Z900RS you need to do the headers as well, I may be able to do it as soon as i get it but at $1540 for a slip on i might give it a miss,Unless they send me one up to do this as a demo and i send it back. Thanks for watching, Enjoy...

Time is the main factor for not swapping and changing everything and doing different combo's , If you see at 1:58 you will see the Acro pipe, I have put Acro pipes on other bikes (Z900 ) and it sounds the same as the muffler is a straight through on both. If i had heaps of time i would swap them out. I have now sold the Acro headers so it is back to stock, Hmm might just put the Acro muffler on and do quick run, Also did not change the ECU tune at all, Just put the headers on, Seemed to have ran well with just this. Thanks for your input and also for watching, Keep an eye out for the Acro pipe, Cheers,Enjoy..

Thanks David Conine,Just doing what i love mate, Drop a tooth?? Great idea... Watch this space....Should we do that? might be too much fun...Thanks for watching, Enjoy..

Get it!! Very good sound and soul🏍️💨

Is a great combo, the only one we do. The 02 sensor has a port to screw it into the headers so no problems at all. Hope you enjoy the new ride mate and thanks for stoping by..Enjoy

@@AussieKawiman Awesome, thanks for the info.

Not at all mate, A titanium header pipe is lighter with larger diameter in the pipe. So saves a bit weight and more flow, But essentially you are correct if all you want is no cat and some noise... Thanks for watching mate.. Enjoy

HMMMM,That would be interesting... Will ask Mr Kawasaki.. Thanks for watching mate... :)

Totally agree,Both are great machines..If I only had more space and Ca$h?? Thanks for watching mate...Enjoy

Great bike, Get one in the garage...Thanks for watching mate..Enjoy

The Akra headers are a wider pipe giving more flow, and lighter weight as well. The standard headers are a dual walled pipe so 2 layers to make them look fatter and help the pipes not colour up from the heat. Also if you install the Akra and don't like them you can put the stock system back on..Good luck with the Z9, Cheers..

Hey ! Thanks for your reply. I went with the akro headers. A couple of questions : did you have to use a reducing sleeve from the end of the link pipe to the stock exhaust? Mine isn't sliding on because the link pipe is 5 mm bigger than the stock setup. My link pipe is also coming in contact with the frame of the bike, doesn't look like yours did so in the video 🤯🤯🤯🤯

Not that I know of mate, But you could leave the end can off and just run headers and that would be loud....Not recommended but LOAD...

Thanks Beam Doctor, I go through there everyday and did not even realise it was there, Well I have not hit it yet...Thanks for watching,Enjoy...

Nevermind, just read the comments and many others have suggested a remap :D I wouldnt like to ride it to much until then, but it sure does sound good :)

Yep does look and sound great and yes would be good to run on a dyno and remap,But this bike was put back to stock after about 1500klms.Is a great addition to the Z900RS.👍

Not even that mate.. Hoping we may see them again but not in the 12 months... Thanks for watching mate...

Ohh Yeah, Good on ya mate..Welcome to the club..Akra headers then smile every time you ride, Go out and enjoy that beast.. Cheers mate. :)

UEL? Not sure what that is but the Akrapovic headers do the trick…Thanks for checking out the video 🇦🇺👍

@@AussieKawiman UEL is a recent abbreviation for unequal length, as in the primaries are not equal. It would be slightly down on horsepower due to lack of scavenging affect but would sound more rumbly. Think older Subaru, which I hate that sound on a car, but might sound more interesting on a motorcycle.

@@Gideon_Judges6 ,Awesome, Thanks for that, Yes agreed would be nice..Cheers mate..

Very late reply here,Yes it does for no probs.I am so sorry for the 3 year wait for my response.Hope you weren’t waiting for me.😂👍🇦🇺

The bike is small mate...Well sort of.. The ducks guts alright, she sucks nitrous!!

Love the Z900RS mate..Bloody great bike. Thanks for watching mate..

yes there is a lambda (02) sensor on the stock pipe, and there is a place to put it on the akrapovic headers too. Its in a different position but you reroute the wire and fits just fine. I got the just the headers today for mine, not fitted yet but read the instructions. I will be using the stock muffler too.

Ripping Silk Amazing!!! Thank you for clearing this up for me!!

All modern electronic fuel injected engines have an O2 sensor from the factory.

👍

I will check it out for you, Would be great if it did, I have them here,Give me a day or 2 and i will get back to you, Thanks for the question i never thought about doing that, Thanks

if they did it would be sweet. just then need to know where I could get one lol!

any luck on trying to see if RS can will fit standard Z??

It was a little cold and i am pretty sure it needed to warm up, I also gave it to it as well, In a perfect world i would get it tuned and as we found when you do this the power delivery is smooth and you get an extra 5+ HP out of it..I am not sure if i put up a video on the ride, will have a look,But it will probably just be saying how awesome the bike is and everyone should have one!! Sorry but i just love this bike...Thanks for watching and hopefully enjoying the vids, Cheers mate..

Yep,The Toe Cutter he knows who you are.... Thanks for watching mate, Enjoy..

Sure is, I love it, thanks for watching mate..

Thanks for the support mate, I love the Z900 Cafe, Feels great to ride, I have a bit of an issue with my right knee and after about 2 hours it twitches and aches a bit,From when i went arse up on a KLR650,but still too much fun to get off. If i was doing more distance riding i would go for the 1000SX but for a cool fun Sunday ride the Z900RS Cafe all the way. Good luck with choosing and thanks for subscribing,should have some more up soon.. :)

I hope you mean the bike ... :)

@@AussieKawiman Ahh, yeh !

Hi Rob, Thanks for the support mate, I do enjoy doing the videos and makes it worth it when they are liked. I do have 1 Green 2022 model left in stock if that is what you are chasing. (07) 5450 3500,Cheers mate..

@@AussieKawiman Hey mate, not a problem (re the support). Do you guys still do the custom colours? I'm looking at getting a 2nd hand, low Kay model. I'm in Victoria. I'll keep an eye out on what you have on hand, but feel free to contact me if something comes up! Cheers, Rob

@@RobMelancholic , Cheers mate, I have not done a custom colour in a while, Last one went to Victoria late 2021. Can not get any to do anything with. I do have a new 2022 Green one i stock if that is what you are chasing. Will keep you in mind if i get anything, Will need to be quick to secure if you want one..Good luck mate.

@@AussieKawiman Question.. Once you swap out the headers, does it a) VOID the warranty ?! ANd b) is a TUNE needed after you swap the headers ?! I know some people do em but, is it mandatory ?! Will the bike still run fine ?

@@TopshelfJunior , Good question, The bike runs sweet with the headers but does pop a little on the deceleration, Does not harm it but with a tune tends to run. Abut smother and is always the best option. As for warranty? I don't think it would do anything to the engine to warrant a claim and have seen nothing ever happen.Thanks for watching mate..

Noriel Cunanan it just screws into the Acropovic has a spot for it to go,Thanks for watching 👍👍

Aussie Kawiman... thanks

Hi David, Still has the low punch if not a bit more,It does run fine but if you have the funds and time a quick run on a dyno by a good tuner may smooth it out a bit,All up as it sits feels great, Thanks for watching, Enjoy

Sabaru Engineering Thanks mate appreciate your feedback.Thanks for watching 👍👍

+Geez, Just saw this one mate.. Sorry was about 6 kgs..

Douglas Rowe ,Not 100% sure,Will wait and see I suppose.Maybe a grey area??

Great one mate, We just did another one today, always love seeing the customer start it for the first time.. Engine light? is the sensor plugged into the exhaust? Check that and if not you need it to be in so the computer can map it, In a perfect world i would get it tuned but should not need to...Thanks for watching mate..Enjoy :)

It does sound good with the stock pipe, We love it. The ford is the Falcon Ute, Blue one? Pretty much everywhere around here..Good utes, 6 cylinder 4.0 litres go well, Thanks for watching mate, Enjoy..

@@AussieKawiman: Probably unavailable here. Thanks for the info.

Cheers frogman jack, Just having fun in Oz man...Thanks for watching.

Congratulations mate, You will love this bike,It defiantly is my favourite of the range. Enjoy the new ride and thanks for watching,Also check out the rest of my channel as I have quite a few mods on the Z900RS', Enjoy..
