best job of showing all the steps, made it a breeeeze for me, Thanks Bud!!!

Very nice vid. Thanks for doing this! I just got the Delkevic headers for my z900rs Cafe and will use your vid as a guide for sure. Can't wait to get into it this weekend. I'll be using the stock can as well for now. Beautiful bike BTW!

Thank's for the great video, helped me install my new headers - I went for the Delkevic, I'm very pleased so far.

Job well done sir!💯🦾🔥🏍 Thanks for sharing, very helpful information🙌🏽

I love this bike!! 😍 Excellent video, greetings from México! More please!

Looks great! I put the same headers with the stock muffler on my Z900rs cafe. I installed a booster plug, and driven racing secondary block off plates, and it runs perfect! Pulls strong, good low/mid range. And no decel popping or backfire. This is the 1st time I have used a booster plug and I am thoroughly impressed!

Thanks for the video, exactly what I was looking for.

Bolts are the long things and nuts are the smaller hex things that screw on the end.

I love this sound bro awesome 👌

nice bike bro,watching from Philippines..ride safe always.

I have the 2019 900RS Cafe and have the Delkavik header I havent installed it yet but I'm looking to the old school sound. I love how these headers make the bike sound like it has the old school Yosh headers on it.

I stepped on the weighing scales this morning and it said "insane amount of weight" so he is telling the truth. ITS A REAL MEASURE! ... But it would be cool if you did put each on a scale 🙂

Thanks Your video was very helpful. Do you have one for tank removal?

Great Review ! Do you have any part numbers so I can order the same thing ? Thanks

I came for the color. I'm getting one of these soon and I can't decide on a color. I was all set to go with the root beer brown and red orange but the green is really growing on me. Your video provides a real nice view of that color close up. And the exhaust install was great too; I'm sure I'll be doing the same when I get mine.

Going to look at 1 today can't wait 20 plate

If i could have more than the two bikes i have i would buy this bike. so pretty.

Have you dyno'd the bike to adjust the new high flow exhaust? if so what were the gains with the exhaust?

Michael, thanks for putting this together! I'm tempted to get these headers, but will it still be possible to sneak around when needed? I have to cross town on surface streets to reach the really good roads, so for me that's an important capability. This setup would also look pretty trick with a flat black Cerakote finish...

Thanks for video. Planning on doing same for my 2018 cafe. Any further comment/advice on ECU flash?

Salut j ai acheté un z900 rs 2022 je voudrai savoir si tu va le mettre sur le Dyno ou tu va roulé comme ca sans ajustement gaz , air merci

Thanks for previous answer on ECU flash. Further question: From your excellent video it appears that the Kawasaki stock can (exhaust muffler) is designed to mate directly with the Akropovic headers ie no additional machining or plumbing is required. In other words the Z900RS could be returned to stock by reversing the process. Can you confirm that this is the case?

Does the akrapovoc comes with the large heat shield attachment ?

Did your link pipe contact the frame of the bike ?

Did you have to get it tuned after ?

What was the weight saving? Maybe you gave it and I missed it.

Nice ! I had an original 900 Z1 , I wish that that person didn’t run that red light.

Very nice, thanks for the video! I have the same one and hope to install this week. What anti-seize paste, if any, did you use?

Hi, did you do ecu remapping? and is it recommended to do so? I just installed mine, and it does smell when i start it. I heard that it will run hot if the remapping is not done.

did it needed a remap?

The weight saving I believe is 6.4kg which is good enough. I agree on the delvic product versus the Akro, but I would recommend a Scorpion can, it is a bit quieter and sharper than the standard can plus it is smaller and looks better in my opinion. Obviously, an ECU flash is needed to get the best out of the overall system but, yes, the Akro is the best option. I've had the z900rs nearly three years with this combo and its perfect for the bike, performance and sound (the standard can is too rowdy, as you say - go the Scorpion, it matches perfectly and is quieter and better sounding without losing the flaming or pop on decel).

Coloquei na minha também ficou top, amei..valeu.

I know a lot of people have been saying doing this is STEP ONE on the bike, and then getting the Ivan TUNE is STEP TWO but... As a new rider, I just wanna know, can STEP ONE be done, without ever doing STEP TWO ?! Like, is the tune needed ?! The bike is perfect for me RN, and I think the headers will give me a sound that I want, but once I get that....I'm cool. I wanna stop there. Is the tune mandatory ?!

Great video! I just got my 2023 and are looking for exhaust options as well. When you installed this did it throw a code? Engine running lean? I love the pops and flames on decel!

Good video. I plan on throwing these on my 21 cafe as I like the stock exhaust also. Just wanted to mention that michimoto makes a radiator cap that fits the 21 radiator. It has an orange decal on it, but it's also a lot more paintable and higher quality than the stock radiator cap which was bugging the hell out of me. The Gilles tooling radiator cap cover will not fit the 2021 either. Blew $65 finding that out.

I have ordered an Akra last night for my stock z900rs. How did it run for the few months prior to getting the tune?

Where do you order this from?

Your video was great to explain everything. This exhaust sounds amazing even with the factory muffler. Hell, it's almost too loud. But that's what we want though right? -a fellow Floridian

Nice video! How much does cost this akrapovic?

I think stock headers and eliminate lower can with single pipe and carbon fiber can. The pull springs look cheesy to me.

Michael why did you just go with just the header and not changing the full exhaust?

Is there a way to run pipes on both sides?

Does not meet emissions requirements. Penalties?

Another video where the owner knows more about videos than the subject matter.

Will it clear the smog test for next year license renewal without the cat con?

What's that mini bike against the wall?

Now all you need is an ECU flash, disconnect or block the PAIR, and unplug the O2 sensor.

Did you change the exhaust copper oring seal.

Make sure you get the ECU flashed for that pipe. I am torn on the headers because I kinda like not having this bike crazy loud... Instead I focused on handling... the OEM tires are shit, so those went first. Then installed a K-Tech Razor R Lite shock that was spring for my weight... dropped the forks and swapped out the fork oil for thicker Belray 7W for more damping... tail tidy, BMC air filter and then had Chris up at Moore Mafia do the ECU flash... I have a ton of Z900RS videos on my channel if you are interested in other mods. But this was an excellent video, install looks a little tedious, but not overly difficult and looks awesome when done, nice job.

I had mine de cated , sounds the same.

No sound? 😞

Do you have to remove the center stand with these headers?

Spending that kind of money I would go for a 4 into 2 system.

Akrapovic - A-KROP-ō-VITCH

Akrapovic is pronounced, correctly, like ( a-crop-of-itch). Great choice of bike.

Hi, just a kind observation...Akrapovic is pronounced very differently as you say it...

Nice video. It proves ya don't have to know the difference between a nut and a bolt to work on a motorcycle.

👏👏🇧🇷🇨🇦👊👊

If you could talk a little more then you might be able to talk the exhaust on instead of just installing it

I must admit it looks nicer without the cat.

Not a fan of the sound at all… Stock sounds better by far. I put an Akrapovic system on my Africa Twin and hated it! To each their own…

we don't get to hear it??? HUH

uh-crop-o-vich

Thanks for doing this but man, if instead of telling us the new headers are so much lighter 15 times you just got a scale and weighed them this could have been a lot shorter

Ak-crop-o-vitch not acra-povick and stop calling nuts bolts.

unplug your 02 sensor before you start removing it. twisting it like that is punishable by jail time in the phillipines

Akrapovic are overpriced, Delkevic has a much better shape & are half the price.

Too much talk mate. I just want to hear the sound. 😂

all you need is to cut the breadbox out no need for the cheap single wall header......lot cheaper too
