Seating and handlebar position on the 2026

I test rode a 2023 Z900 about a year ago and have become slightly obsessed with the bike.

I now own a 2025 Tiger 660. For comfort while riding I think it's basically perfect. The seat is comfortable and the upright riding position is comfortable and keeps weight off my wrists while riding. Obviously it also has good wind protection.

How does the 2026 (or 2025) Z900 compare? I found the 2023 less than optimal because the seat angle pitched me forward into the tank. This also put pressure on my wrists. I sat on a 2026 (but couldn't test drive one) and the seat is much flatter and more comfortable but I don't know what riding it would be like.

What's the consensus here?

Anyone had a similar problem?

Hey everyone, having a problem with my 2024 z900 where its doing this in the video when I try to start it every now and then, doesn't do it all the time but has been doing it at least once every 2 or 3 days now for the past week or 2. Its going in for a service in a couple weeks so ill hopefully get it sorted then but curious to see if this has happened to anyone else?

Should I be upset about this?

Took my bike in to get some Michelin road 6s put on, got there today to pick my bike up and see they scraped up my rim. In my opinion, they shouldn’t scratch it at all if they’re using the right tools. Just wondering if you guys would all feel the same way if you took your bike in and it didn’t have any scratches on the rims.

Finally broke her in.

Finally broke her in. Love the quick shifter and definitely mooore than enough power for me. I don't see myself craving more than what this thing can already output. Took it to 140mph today, and I think Ill keep her under a hunid for the foreseeable future haha. Fast af.

Navigation Mount

Hi, do you guys think it is okey to mount my navigation on my 2026 z900 like this?
I bought the adapter on aliexpress and it fits perfect. My only problem is the fixation of these threaded sleeves. In the display i can see everything.
Greetings from Germany

First Bike

Hi everyone,

I'm currently getting my unrestricted motorcycle license and I'd like to buy a motorcycle soon.

I've got two in mind:

- Honda CB650R
- Kawasaki Z900

The Kawasaki would be about €600-900 more expensive, and I'm thinking I'd rather buy the Kawasaki and have the "better" bike right away, since the price difference isn't that significant.

My concern is that the Kawasaki might be too powerful for a beginner.

What do you think?

Picked up a 2019 Z900

Picked up this Z900 for $6500 with only 700 miles on it. My first bike was a Ninja 400 back in 2021 and had it for a year and put 10K miles on it till a woman pulled infront of me at an intersection and totaled it. 3 years later I get a Grom and have it for a year then I sell it and just bought this Z. I'm absolutely in love with it and I love having the power to pass vehicles and get myself out of sketchy situations. The power scares me but I think that's a good thing.

2025 Z900 Header/Torque/ECU

Got some headers in route, and Im going to do the work myself. Realize I need a few more things before I start this project. It'll be the most complex thing I've done on a motorcycle, so ready to get my hands dirty.

First off, I need a torque wrench, I do not have one in my garage. What kind do I need? Is there a one size fit all, or is that going to be digital?

Do I need a front jack stand when doing headers as well? I already have a rear.

I did a browse of the owners manual and I did not see torque settings for the headers. Am I overlooking it?

Lastly, anyone have a good source of how to get to the ECU? Going to send it in for tuning, and I really only find one video to get to it, and would prefer to see some others.

I have a 2025 Z900.

Got a few more things to do but it’s coming along!

If anyone has any pics of their bike with levers and lever guards please send them! I think that’s what I wanna do next!

Z900 full system arrow popping sound

Hey guys, so i am investing in a 2nd hand Z900 (2024 model).

It has a full system arrow exhaust and while decel it creates a lot of popping sound. What do you guys think, is it like a beacon for traffic police?
Also does it get irritating over time and should i instal AIS Block Plates?

New Rage Cycles FEK and front signals

A few photos showing front and rear. According to NRC you shouldn’t need a relay to slow them down, but they blink hella fast so I may add the relay anyways
