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
Just got the same bike and am interested in what everyone else has done - thanks for the great / informative video! That grab rail is on my short list - it looks great!
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!
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.
