Question 1: Has anyone deleted their ABS? I know, I know, it's there to help. I just don't like the feel, the lack of response. Call me old school, but I prefer to perfect how I use it, not how I'm forced to use it.

​

Question 2: Handlebars. I'd like something a little more narrow and leaned back towards me, if this is possible.

Has anyone uploaded there 25-26 z900 abs brake lines to the braided ones if so what brand and how are they holding up iv noticed the stock rubber ones feel mush after about 30 min of aggressive riding

So, on the topic of wheelies today, I'm finally getting comfortable with bringing the front end of the 2026 up to about two or three feet and setting it back down gently with the brake, not chopping the throttle at all, or very little from time to time, if I'm being honest. This is probably the most aggressive bike I've ever learned on, and I started out with poor habits. On my old 250 dirtbike, 250 Ninja, and even my old SV650, I'd always double-rev the throttle, then drop the clutch, and they seemed very gentle. This thing, when I'd do that, wanted to buck me off. I've finally gotten into the habit of rolling to about 25-30, clutching, rolling on the throttle, then dumping, which is so much smoother and a lot less jerky, as the ride-by-wire is already twitchy. Any other pointers y'all have figured out? I've noticed 2nd gear about 4k RPM is around 25-30 mph. If I rev to 6k, it'll come up; 7k, it'll do about a foot. 8.5k is about as far as I've gotten in the revs.

What aftermarket mirrors is everyone running? Cheap, expensive, it doesn't make a difference. What are the pros and cons of what you've got?

Well the z900 was almost toast today as im going to turn left a fuck suv passed me in a double yellow I had another foot and no more payments lmfao

Did a long ass trip from wv to Tennessee and I will definitely be interested in a really good seat any suggestions

Okay, since my last post started a lot of arguing, let me try a different one. I'm about 5'7" and 211 lbs. My question is, would y'all recommend just lowering the front end enough to reach the ground? I don't want to flat-foot, but it'd be nice for both my feet's toes to touch, lol. I've considered a new seat, but to be honest, the factory one isn't uncomfortable. Also, I might get a lowering link for the rear. What's y'all's take? I just know doing the front is free.
