No idea why the 360 cam has that line. It didn't show up on anything except the RUclips upload and I didn't spot it. Hopefully it's not too annoying! Anyway, how do you think the bike sounds now :)
Sounds really nice, pleased the mods are working for you 😊 The screen seems to benefit you on street enough to leave it on, I originally thought don't bother for street, but after your experience probably worth doing... OC - My old gsxf is staying stock. If I ever get a Z900RS 🙏 I'd probably replicate all your mods. Cheers, Andy.
It's such a good bike, really happy the mods just made it better for me. :) Yep, definitely takes more air off me than I thought it would! You should get a Z900RS for reasonable money soon used!! Do it :P
Seeing it in the sunlight, the screen does have lines that complement the bike. In any case, if it’s effective, that’s what matters here. Maybe it’s not completely integrated with the bike’s lines, but it’s not like the giant, upright windshields they put on cruisers, either!
Yeah I actually don't mind it at all now, definitely jarring at first sight but only since I've stared at the Z so much 😂 Oh yeah I hate looking through a windshield even tho they work.
Glad they're of some use :) It did a little, however check your chain and front sprocket in particular as well. I was also going to test a shift linkage stabiliser bar soon that apparently helps!
@@TheGorillaBiker I believe I've watched all your zed videos so far - more than once. lol. They are really helpful. I'm planning to change the front sprocket to a 16 so I will replace sprockets and chain. Thank you for the heads up!
I got excited when you said you're in North Carolina! I'm nearby in Erwin, NC with a business in Fuquay-Varina. I've been considering this tune for my new z900rs cafe for the throttle issue. Anyway, it'd be cool to see you around. Thanks for the info! Also: Defund the HOA! 😂
Oh cool! What type of business do you have I'll spin over that way next! Not at all, main reason I do these videos is to save people hassle 😂 Hahaha yes.
Success! On the track it is sure to make life easier. Everything you have done to the bike makes perfect sense for your intended use. It certainly does sound wonderful when you wind it up. There is a trend in wider society that just isolates people from tool use. The staples of education woodwork and metalwork are disappearing. This around us that break are not designed to be dismantled and repaired. When I was a kid I was forever taking things to pieces to find out how they worked. Dismantling computers and phones is just not the same. Cars generally are designed to hide all the working parts from view let alone being able to work on them. I just bought a new, second hand bike today! What would I like to change ? The exhaust, which though it is stock is very, very loud...... It is a Keeway V250Fi. A fun ride out. Thank you. 👍
Yes, currently the rear end is VERY stiff so need to drop more preload, we got caught in rain and it was very frisky :D It does, and the nice thing is it's very much mild mannered when cruising, really really happy with the bike now. Yeah it's baffling. It won't be long before a lot less people will be doing things for themselves and that makes me sad. As if I didn't do all my own work on bikes I MIGHT be able to afford one bike max. I'd be missing a lot of what I love doing. I was the same as a child. Modern cars generally don't interest me much as they're very hard to work on. Oh nice, congrats!! Keeways took off in Ireland too, seem a solid wee bike! Best of luck with it :)
Got my ecu back from Ivan and now my exhaust is quieter. I’m not happy about that. I paid good money for a louder exhaust then I paid Ivan to ruin the sound. lol. How does your exhaust compare after the tune?
I actually fitted the headers while the ecu was away so I'm not sure. It does make sense tho as he turns off the pair valve etc so that could end up making it sound quieter, or at the very least different due to the fuelling changes etc.
Nothing other than its been done and gets you a lot of top end, people also have used the minimum thickness head gasket also. It requires a decent amount of work on a dyno. Not something I'll personally go after
@TheGorillaBiker does seem like a hassle, especially since (imo) the bike has plenty of power to get you in trouble. Cool tho, hoping to see more ppl share their experiments. I watched you headers vid the other day and it finally pushed me over the edge and now mine are on the way. Gonna be Identical mods to yours plus the airbox mod, I just want more of that induction noise!
It's so odd, it's not even in the stitch line ....and isn't in the video on my computer. Hahaha yes. They've been tricked. The transit custom is far superior

I really appreciate all your videos . I just bought 2018. Did the flash helped with the shifting? Mine is so clumsy/ clunky.

@@goldfish8196 haha thanks!! :) Really glad you do like them :) Ah very good, let me know does that solve it, might even just be a case of wear :)
Use motul 7100t it helps a ton in smoothing out the shifting

Screen looks ok to me and if it’s working that’s awesome 😎👏🏻
It's not the most beautiful thing ever made but it does work. You as a tall person understand the need for one I'm sure 😂😂
@@TheGorillaBiker I cannot lie I have a very tall screen on my cruiser for just that reason 😉
I have this exact bike. I’ve only done one thing thus far. A tail tidy.
I have not done that :D
@@TheGorillaBiker 😂
Love a tight arse.
A tune would be next.
Hahahahahaha :D
The tune is honestly so worth while
What line, its totally not triggering me lol. Is the pickup the US equivalent of the white van man
It's so odd, it's not even in the stitch line ....and isn't in the video on my computer.
Hahaha yes. They've been tricked. The transit custom is far superior

Thanks for publishing this video, love the color of your Zed 900, and appreciate the feedback on Ivans tune.
Not at all! Thanks for watching!
