Yep, me too. In fact I only just became aware it even existed a couple of months back. Since then I've simply become obsessed, fallen in love, and I've decided, life won't be complete without this bike in it. So I'm weighing myself in for the '24 RS SE. Definitely changing the pipe for a Delkevic header, and a shorty tail can though.

Having had surgery 6 days ago with an abdominal incision healing, I listen very closely as you describe putting on the DOHC decals. The photo and admission of the right side being put on upsidedown... 😂😬😂😬🤣 !! Painfully funny!! Best laugh in well over a week! Beautiful bike, my friend!

You can also use a spring tool for old style drum braked. And of the shiny chrome bothers you ( like it does me) you can paint the end pieces and slide a piece of heat shrink tube on to cover the spring . Just heat it enough to keep it on . I did it for my 1977 JZ 650c and it works great. Congratulations on the bike. This may be the next steed in my stable. I love the 2003 blue ZRX1200 but I’m 63 and pretty broke up, need something lighter than the zrx & Kz. I have a 2017 Honda cb500 x to take camping to explore on . But it is pretty gutless. I’m old and a little broke up but I’m not dead yet. And the wife would rather me ride this than a 20 year old stripper 🤔. Thanks for the video

I currently have a Suzuki GSX 1400 but have been looking at the Z900RS as my mate had one. Great video.....these small modifications are exactly what i would do if i got around to buying one,and also mabye a 4-2 exhaust.......bike looks awesome and that tail tidy is 100% improvement over the original,as is the grab rail. Good stuff.

Hi Steve, Alex here from Malta. Great video with good tips. I have the 2019 Z900RS and it is such an awesome bike to ride. That bit about the tail tidy with the reflectors bracket and that other part crashing down had me laughing as the same happened to me hahaha. I have been thinking about that center stand for a while and I will definitely buy it now from Motea.

Hi Steve, love the bike. I did the same as you with a fender extender not wanting to spoil it with screws. Came back from ride and yes, it was gone! Always do the rad guard, tail tidy as you did too

Your bike looks great! I love my '19 Cafe. I put the Xitomer tidy tail on mine, it's very cheap but very easy to do. I also put on a Denali Sound Bomb mini horn. Puig mini (non LED) turn signals and a Dark SR Zero Gravity windscreen. I think you're going to love the ride.

I've got the self same bike new coming on the 28th of this month but also can't put it on the road until March 1st. Bought the grab rail, tank protector and radiator grill in silver with kawasaki stencilled on. I have also managed to obtain a reg of k900 followed by my initials, which it will be delivered with. For me, this is my retro bike, an older mate had a z1 in the early seventees that I always wanted but couldn't afford. English retros were really all before my time and I am 64. Most very young chaps of my age then were riding around on FS1E's and SS50's. I must like to warn you though, that if that fender extender comes unstuck and if the furthest end falls so it touches the tire, it could then jam under the existing mud guard, lock your wheel and bring you off. A similar thing happened to my ex wife on a bicycle and it nearly killed my son who was in a child seat, at the back, after the front wheel locked and my son's head butted the floor.

Thanks for the tip Steve. I'll be keeping an eye on it. I too am your age and this is my Sunday bike. I've been looking for a second bike for a while and fell in love with this the moment I saw it. A test ride on a non-SE RS convinced me.

the speckled stand raises the rear wheel very little, I had to weld two 4 mm plates to it
@stevemac7329
@stevemac7329 Жыл бұрын
I agree it does hardly raise the rear wheel unless you are on very flat ground. The main reason I wanted the stand was for lubeing the chain so I just put a thin board underneath it and it gives me loads of ground clearance.

If you use a piece of 3/4 plywood say 2’x3’ it would catch the mess. Just mark it as Chain &rear wheel cleaning block
