r/kawasakiz900rs

I have a potential deal on an RS, but I greatly prefer having hard bags. Shown is the Shad SH23 bag. I’ve used them on both of my bikes so far, but I’m looking for something with a retro style to match the bike. Any suggestions?

How beautiful is this machine

New to me 2019 with 18k miles. Key slides into ignition and feels okay but pressing in or not it is damn near impossible to turn the key either direction. Have to really work the key a lot to finally get it turned. Is this a common issue or any tips before I look into replacing the whole switch?

I was getting ready for a ride and noticed the right side mirror was free spinning. It stops when pointing forward…about 3/4 turn from where I need it. That seems like a lot so I don’t want to force it. Any suggestions?

Update: 17mm wrench to the rescue. Thanks to everyone that pointed out the jam nut

after building a vintage two stroke Kawasaki collection (75 bighorn 350, 91 ke100, 02 kx65) I figured it’s probably a good time to try something new and different but yet the same look as the vintage bikes I already have and this ticked all the boxes. she looks right at home in the garage. amazing bike!

Hi,
I am currently searching for a z900rs and clearly want the best deal for me.
In my area there is one for sale, it has around 6k km on it and is from 2018. The pricetag is ok around 7.5k € if everything is alright with the bike.
There is anotherone, in a colour I like more and from 2020 and some Minor mods, but it has almost 10k km on it and costs around 1 k more.
So my question is, should I pay my hard earned money for a nearly 10 year old bike? I mean, 7.5k is still a Lot of Cash! Or should I go for something a bit newer but pricyer?
Greetings from Germany and excuse the relatively bad english 🙈

Really good time of the year for riding by me.

Been riding my 2018 z900rs with an Ivan’s tune after 6 years on a cruiser (still have)

The power, the comfort, the weight of the z is amazing. Once you figure out how to keep it in the rev range it likes, going back to a 750 pound cruiser is so much more work to get around (albeit more chill on highway)

Now I need a true sports bike - just hype. Great ride

Ant recs for good loud muffler - want a little more sound when riding

Traded my XSR in today for this.

Gotta say, it's an upgrade.

Working on my license at the moment. I LOVE the style of the z900rs, would it be suitable for a new rider? I'm 29 y/o and i'm nervous and i'll be mature enough and respect it, i don't wanna die.

It's for sale for 9.000 (euro) maybe i can get it a bit lower but not sure.

Below is the sale notice:

For sale: Kawasaki Z900RS from 06/2018 with 23,000 km. The color is metallic orange and it has a manual transmission. It features a 948cc engine producing 111 horsepower and runs on gasoline.

The bike is in excellent condition, with no damage whatsoever. The Bridgestone S22 tires have very few kilometers on them. It comes equipped with front and rear Öhlins suspension, a Buing windscreen, engine sliders, Barracuda mirrors, Kawasaki heated grips, and a center stand.

The service book is fully up to date. Inspection by a mechanic is welcome. The price is negotiable and offers are accepted.

Hired this beauty for a self guided seven day trek around Japan. I’m in love with Japan, the bike, the lot!!

Over a year of waiting for the right deal, I picked up a 22' 50th Anniversary model. Seller even included the commemorative book and a few other goodies. I'm curious to ask the UK riders, any lore to the cool "zed" nickname. Or is it just a fun way to say "z"?

Been adding and taking away mods for a while now but I'm wondering what people's thoughts are on clip on bars?

I want to get some adjustable rear sets and maybe the low seat to complete the sportier riding position

New to me picked her up today candy tone blue completely standard 21 plate only 390 miles this one is a keeper 😁
