I have the same multi tool under my seat along with the baffle for my exhaust and disc lock. I opted for the seat cowl when i bought my Z900 (from Gloucester) 2 weeks ago and the cowl comes off really easy. I have the rear seat in a box, but as my wife said she will never get on my bike I haven't tied to see how easy it is to fit. I'm also going to turn those bungs up the other way to see if it stops the Kawasaki way of wanting you to mount the tank when your out on a ride. Love the vids by the way and was the reason I went up to Kawasaki Gloucester on the off chance, who gave me such a good deal on my old bike compared to Fowlers in Bristol (Where I live) I ended up buying my Kawi from them
I guess you went to Frasers for yours then? They're not doing Kawasaki anymore, it has moved to Completely Motorbikes near Cheltenham. Glad you are enjoying the channel anyway.
I switched the seat rubbers on your recommendation, much better! I found myself sliding into the tank under hard braking resulting in nut compression. I think I can tip-toe better now,great tip thanks! Ps I can still remember the 70s' aaye
Frst off: great videos, mate! What I did was to get rid of the OEM toolkit and stored a tire repair kit from Oxford in it's place under the main seat. To fit it there I shortened the handles of the two metal tools. With that done you can fit both of these things, the strips and glue along with a CO2 inflater and a few CO2 capsules in the same space where the OEM toolkit was at. The Oxford kit comes in a pretty decent bag too so you can use that. Under the passenger seat I stored a self made toolkit consisting of the OEM screwdriver, a 10/12, 13/14 and 15/17 spanners, a small wrench with which has an extender for the handle and different sockets (both for nuts and also hex keys, different-sized phillips heads etc) and an extender for the wrench. Additionally some tape, a ton of zipties, some wire, small pliers, a small pocket knife, some bolts (in case I loose one) and a tire pressure pressure gauge. It all fits nicely in the space and nothng rattles around. It's all enclosed in a small nylon bag from a company called Bahco. Overall the tire repair kit and the self made toolkit cost me about €100.
Brilliant, thank you so much for taking the time to write all that up! It is what this channel is all about and I will be looking in to doing the same thing 🙌
Great video again, I've been researching OBD and looking for a solution since I bought a new bike two months ago. And now finally a solution, thanks you helped me a lot. I saw a video about lowering the seat, and I'm going to try it.. I don't have high expectations, I'm going to re-stitch it. I don't fly fast but low 🙂
Hi Mark. Just discovered your channel and as another Z900 owner am loving the content. Like others have commented here, I have no problem with my pillion seat popping off and it clicks on dead easy with no fonzing required. I must admit I struggle to get much under my seat. I have a disc lock and stand puck.
Love the videos Mark I have the same puncture kit only used it once I would recommend 2 C02 capsules to inflate the tyre after I was in the middle of nowhere... I turned my seat bungs to the lower setting i didn't notice anything tbh..stay safe 👍
never had a problem removing the seat even with the colour coded seat cowl which i use all the time now,space is bad and could easily been made better at the factory as theres plenty of space between seat and tire,that said i managed to get my puncture out fit along with a rocky creek motopressor pocket pump,great bit of kit.and my alarm siren horn as well,never new about the seat bungs might have a try,i keep away from ecu,s a bit much for tired ole brain.
You can either decide to notice a deflated tire only whenever you reach a fuel station offering an air pump or you can carry a battery-powered air pump. Of course the latter option requires some bags like Mark put them on.
Its a fair point and I am thinking of carrying a small pump just to get a few psi into the tyre. Long journeys I carry a can of tyre weld, which also inflates the tyre, but that needs a bag.
Hi! Did you ever tried to reset the Dealer service reminder on the dashboard? (The small withe wrench ) . I wonder if you can use an OBD device, and which one. Thank you!
@@bikerevz yeah, that was probably the oil service reminder the owner can set by himself, but Kawasaki also set a yearly remider, or a reminder that depends on a fixed amount of miles that the use can’t delete through the buttons. Only Kawasaki service can. And this I find unfair, why should I be forced to go to a Kawasaki garage? Especially if it is not nearby, or just because another mechanic can bd cheaper. I would also be able to service mu bike by myself. But I have to go to the dealer, spend time & money just to reset a reminder. Stupid. Anyway, thanks for you reply. In the future, you should manage doing that, please let me know!
It's a search for '6 pin motorcycle OBD'. This is the exact one I got.. Goliton OBD2 OBDII Diagnostic Cable Adaptor 6 Pin to 16 Pin Compatible with Honda Motorbike Motorcycle amzn.eu/d/6noQRZx
@@bikerevz Thanks Mark. Im new to the z900 only picked it up new last weekend. Hoping I’ll never have to use this to reset any codes but it’ll save me some cash if I do.
If you have the digital display, you can do it through the two buttons to access the various menus. I followed some RUclips instructions and it only took a few minutes.
But its 2 diffrent. One is the kawasaki service that you need go to dealer to reset and the second is owner can reset in the meny the oil service. I need reset the kawasaki service.
Can you help me? Can you Show me what srew is at the Position left from the K of the Kawasaki? Is this a normal screw? Or is there s Special Spacer under? I cant See it in the Part List, can you Show me?

@@bikerevz I'm happy to share a picture of how the whole kit looks like and what's in it if you're interested.

I think something on your rear seat is bent or adjusted wrong. Mine slides on and off super easy, one handed. No Fonzing on my bike!
Even if you patch your tire, how will you inflate it?
I have the original toolkit, wheel lock and plate/insurance papers!

What’s the white plug for then ? Did you ever find out
My rear seat pops right off. I have the same colorway sitting in my garage
Just hose it down then pop a wheelie to remove the pooled water off your battery 🤠
a denter will make that seat operation smooth like butter in just about a minute
Can you recommend Your crashpads ? they look really nice. Also can you reset service mileage via obd2 and some app?
Hi! Did you ever tried to reset the Dealer service reminder on the dashboard? (The small withe wrench ) .
I wonder if you can use an OBD device, and which one. Thank you!
Hi, just had a look on OBD but no option for service reset. I did it through the buttons on the dashboard when I had one of those lights on.
@@bikerevz yeah, that was probably the oil service reminder the owner can set by himself, but Kawasaki also set a yearly remider, or a reminder that depends on a fixed amount of miles that the use can’t delete through the buttons. Only Kawasaki service can.

Looks like a 12mm M4 with a flared top. I have a nylon washer under it. No special spacers.
Watch the whole video, hoping you would show how to reinstall the seat cowl and that was the one thing you didn’t show
Interesting
Put acf50 everywhere 😎💯👍
i only have my DB killer in the rear seat of my Z900.
You have to push up on the key.
