Today we put bar risers on a 2020 Z900. And for good measure, we add a new windscreen too! This project has a fair amount of fabrication work, its not a simple plug and play. But, you can get bar risers on a Z900.

*Correction. Sport mode is full power and traction control mode 1. A lot of people keep saying it’s everything off like you just did, but if you check the owners manual there’s a table showing the flow chart of the settings. The only way to get traction control all the way off is through the Rider settings. Great video btw! 💪

Great video, good job, I had the same problem with my GSX S750, I installed the risers, the Puig touring windshield plus a clip on from Amazon ($35) . For the break fluid cable, I pushed the whole thing towards inside by 2’’ , the break fluid container and mirror are one piece on mine, just moved the whole thing. Also I had to re route the throttle cable. I have the videos on my channel.

I’ve just got a low km used 2019 model - returning to riding and this is a bike I can grow with again - really happy with it - I’ve got long arms and the bar position is perfect (for a change - not cramped up) . Adjusting the foot pegs with aftermarket and clutch shifter was a worthwhile mod as well to consider. Looking out to hear your views on the windscreen as That’s something I want to do as well. Thanks for the vid and all the best for a quick recovery.

@osggarage5575 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Steve! Well im recovered and can say that the windscreen is a big help. It takes enough of the wind off of your body to make longer rides comfortable. I hear you about getting the footpegs adjusted. The brake especially....totally will be changing the position of it in a video coming soon.

@broderp Жыл бұрын

I keep coming back to this video - it's the best one on risers for the 2020 Z900. If one were to not need the ability to swing back towards the rider, just up, then would it make sense that the OEM top mount work? You would just need to fabricate a flat bracket to connect the OEM mount in its new position, so it aligns and clams to the other bracket (for teh turn signals. right?

@osggarage5575 Жыл бұрын

interesting.concept. The mounting for the TFT display is based off of the top clamp. So if you preserve that it could work.

@MachoMadness69420 2 жыл бұрын

I've got the same windscreen. Not going to sugarcoat it and say that it turns the Z900 into a Goldwing or anything, but it certainly makes at difference at 70 mph and up. IMO you do get slightly more wind bufferting around your helmet, but if you're using earplugs then it's pretty much a none-issue.

@broderp 3 жыл бұрын

I wish this was available as a kit for those of us who don't have such a large collection of parts or fabrication capabilities. Wouldn't new bars also do the same thing?

@osggarage5575 3 жыл бұрын

If you could find a different rise bars it would definitely do the trick. However there’s not a lot of options to get just what you want. I scoured a lot of parts numbers and really couldn’t find anything that would do the trick. Yeah I also couldn’t find a kit for this either. Maybe one day I’ll put a kit together! If I get enough feedback I might just do that.

@stevejenks7711 2 жыл бұрын

Loved the solving of the logistical problems of raising the handlebar! Fabricate what you need and/or adapt other on-hand parts. I sat on a new Z900 at a dealership. The deal breaker for me was the position of the footpegs. Too high and tight for an old guy like me. Loved the bike otherwise. Is there any significant adjustability in the foot pegs to get a more upright position or are there after-market brackets made for this bike that allow the lowering of the foot pegs + move them forward? Thanks...

With the windscreen on it’s really not so bad. You still get a bit of wind around your helmet but it really keeps it off of your midsection. Makes it really easy to put miles on this bike with the more upright riding position. Next we need to get a more comfortable seat!

I'm not a yami guy, just Suzuki and Kawi, so I'm not sure if those were stock, as the MT 9s & 10s are upright riders. Maybe another rider knows about a possible bar swap because of availability.
