$35 EXHAUST modification IS A MUST. Z900RS

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

#z900 #z900rs #exhaust
Welcome back to the vlog. Picked up a Z900rs Cafe a couple of months ago. Loving the bike so far and everything is going along as planned with the build. Waited to get the color I wanted and for Kawasaki to work out the issues with the first few years in production.
This is an exhaust modification that costs $35. WORTH EVERY PENNY.
Let me know what you guys think and what kind of mods or videos you'd like to see on this or any of my other bikes.

    For cutting through exhaust pipe I have a cutter that is basically plier handles with a chain on one handle and a hooked fork on the other handle. The chain has small steel cutting discs between each link of the chain. You wrap the chain around the pipe, hook on the forked end of the cutter handle to the chain, squeeze the handles and rotate the chain around the pipe. The discs cut into the pipe and in about four or five back forth movements, the discs cut right through. It makes nice clean and straight cuts. It's saved my rear many times when cutting pipe or round crap in tight places.

I'm taking notes. I'm interested, I saw that if you cut where the solder remains an inline-cat inserted, and this seems excellent to me so as not to exaggerate with smoke and noise. did you get a feeling in performance?

    I know it's tempting to spend $35 for a piece of exhuast pipe, but nothing can beat a full exhaust system and an ecu tune. Even just aftermarket headers with a tune and stock silencer work great on this particular bike. I never understood making a machine louder for no reason other than to sound "cool". For me it's about the performance of the machine...

    Your opinion. Not a fact. The aftermarket headers don't make the bike any better. Check out the forums. It'll help explain what I'm talking about. The factory headers are high quality and thicker than aftermarket. As far as flow, it's the same. There's very little restrictions on factory headers. A tune? Yes that would help performance. As far your comment about just noise, you're incorrect. Removing the bread basket like we did here, helped the bike breathe better. It's not just about sound. Like I said, check the forums.

    @@dorian_vlogs Helping the bike "breathe better" doesn't do much for performance without a tune. If anything it will run leaner than it already does stock. I never said the oem headers were bad. They are very high quality for a bike at this price point. They are "thicker" because they are double walled. Kawasaki did this for heat dissipation. Basically to keep the engine heat away from the rider. The actual thickness of the header pipe is very similar to aftermarket headers. If you removed the catalytic converter and then didn't tune it what was the purpose other than to make it louder?
