Z900 - Main Chat board / Re: 2023 Z900 Performance vs Z900 SE Performance« Last post by Abner on Today at 04:00 am »Here is a photo outside. I also changed the oil filler cap to a black and red one after this photo was taken.
I also need to add the black with red accent engine protectors that goes in the whole in front of the engine. Today I took it in for the 600 mile service. I asked about the torque specs since the front whole has a screw to the top front of the engine. I need to clarify with the dealer if the specs he gave me are Newton Meters or Foot Pounds of torque. I also ordered the Large Meter Cover and some red screws for the stock or larger cover. I will mostly use the stock one around town and will only use the larger one for long trips. Here in Florida it's nice to have the breeze. I normally cruise on A1A along the ocean and the speed limit is mostly 45-50MPH so the small cover is fine for those speeds. After 70 is where I'm hoping the larger Meter Cover will help and that will only be on longer trips. I think it already shipped and I should have in in a few days. ![]() 5
Z900 - Main Chat board / Re: Seat height adjustment…….« Last post by Abner on Today at 03:24 am »Great idea. I just flipped mine around. The way it comes from factory that rubber piece is 1/2 thick. After flipping it, its only 1/8 of an inch think. So, it lowers the back of the seat by 3/8 of an inch.
I will test ride tomorrow and see how it goes. But I'm sure it will feel much better. I had noticed that push forward and didn't like it. 6
Z900 - Main Chat board / Strange Engine Behavior At High RPM« Last post by NorseForce on Today at 02:39 am »Hello. I am not a mechanic at all and only really have general knowledge about automotive things.
I have a 2020 zr900FLF. For engine mods all I have done is a mail in 2wheel dynoworks flash and a full LeoVince exhaust. Ive got 16k miles on the clock and had the bike in 6 months ago for the 15k mi service with the dealer. I have encountered a weird thing twice now. I am pulling hard WOT in 2nd up around high rpm something between 8.5k and 10K the engine seems to have like a sneeze or hiccup. Its weird there is no after fire or pop or bang or any noticeable loss of power. Its almost like how I would imagine a spark plug doesn't fire and no combustion happens in just one chamber for one or 2 cycles and then the next time the cycle comes around for that cylinder to fire its all good. It doesn't do it a lot, I have only noticed it twice and only when giving it the beans as they say. I am going to try to get it to do it again soon but I need some open road and no traffic. Does anyone have any thoughts on what this could be? Also I ride in road mode and I have not noticed the TCS flashing at me but IDK it could have been and I didn't notice it. Would the TCS cut spark like that but just for a fraction of a second? 7
