Could they have added a few more connectors, screws and panels to remove? Geez.. I love Kawasaki, but this is a common theme on all their bikes. Thanks for the very informative video.
@@devin1148 Last year in May, I had to replace the fuel pump after it died. I used the opportunity, with the fuel tank already removed, to have the mechanic check the air filter. Surprisingly, it was nearly clean with just a hint of light dust. The mechanic used an air compressor to gently remove the minimal dust present. My Z900 had 10,000 miles on it at the time and had been through some dust storms. I remember this because on that day, I also changed the oil and oil filter, and I took a picture, that is still in my gallery, of the odometer to mark the oil change.
I'm confused, did you not put on the sealing grease? As far as I know it comes with sealing grease. The K&N one at least. Will be getting mine tomorrow.
Follow up 2 years later... did you notice any improvement over the stock air filter? I'm hearing they may not be worth the extra cost over OEM filtrr5, in fact they may require more maintenance. ?
@@SimpleSimon i did the spark plugs in my bike and turned the tank around did not disconect the line at first i saw i bent it so then i just disconnected it. that line is 112 bucks from Kawasaki. it seems fine but curious what the inside is made of.
Love your content bro! At the end of the oil change video you talked about doing a video discussing how you got the deal you got on it and everything. You still going to post one about it?
@@SimpleSimon sounda good, cant wait! I probably will be getting a z900 this spring. Just curious, how tall are you? Have you ever felt too uncomfortable with the seat height?
@@Smoove233 I am 6' Tall the seat height is great. I can flat foot at stops with ease, my legs get a little crunched when riding but nothing that makes me not love riding this beast!!
Wow that's a lot of work to turn your bike into a vacuum cleaner because it's guaranteed to ingest dirt now, oem doesn't use those style of air filters for a reason
Only line was the fuel line to the tank. No other lines or wires that I remember. There is a plug on the pump the bottom of the tank real easy to remove
@@SimpleSimon Thanks. also this may be a dumb question when when you removed the fuel lines how did you keep fuel coming out of the line or was the tank completely empty?
I have not had a chance to ride it. It has been to cold or Raining. I will be working on a video showing performance gains before and after air filter install when the weather permits.
Air filter change on my ninja 250r: remove 2 pieces of plastic, 1 and 3 screws.
Air filter on my new z900: remove engine.
hahaha so true. Thanks for watching
Dieses Filmchen hab ich gesucht..

so much work to change air filter.
same with changing spark plugs 😕
Ah yes, someone who has never worked on several different kinds of bikes before and doesn’t realize how much easier this is.
I just changed my air filter thanks to your video! I appreciate your hard work!
I'm confused, did you not put on the sealing grease? As far as I know it comes with sealing grease. The K&N one at least. Will be getting mine tomorrow.
My local bike shop charges $150 to change the air filter. Now I understand why and don't fault them
It is a lot of work!! Thanks for watching!!
I think this is way too much work to service an air filter! Poor design.
I totally agree. Thanks for watching!!
For being a “naked” bike, that sure is a lot of panels lol
lol yea it should be a semi naked.
Removing fairing is pain the ass and installing nightmare
Thanks for watching!!
You gotta be joking, all that to get to the filter?
It is terrible!! Thanks for watching!!
Follow up 2 years later... did you notice any improvement over the stock air filter? I'm hearing they may not be worth the extra cost over OEM filtrr5, in fact they may require more maintenance. ?
No difference in performance. A little more intake sound. Thanks for watching.
No need to remove all of that plus the tank. You can just prop the tank up and remove half the stuff.
Thanks for this! I'm going to be removing the gas tank to get at the ECU to have it flashed and this is just what I needed to see.
Glad it helped
Well done video didn't waste a second thanks
I have a question, was there any gain in power or improvement in the performance of the bike with the filter change? thx

Glad it’s gonna be a 5 minute job 🤣
Solid video, will be watching this when I take out the 100 bolts and try remember where they all go back on
Thanks for watching!!
Thanks and waiting for more of such diy's
Good video!
wow for a filter damn
Thanks for watching.
awesome video. Thank you
Cool so basically just take everything off except the back tire...
lol yes you got it, Thanks for watching.
I would like to know how the ride went and did it change the exhaust note, throttle response, gas mileage etc?
I am currently working on a video to review this aftermarket air filter, I am collecting the data now I should have it up in the next week or so.
Any notable difference with the filter?
No a little better sound but that is it. Thanks for watching!!
did you ever have an issue with bending that hard fuel like under the tank i see you did not disconnect it?
No I have not had any issues.

Thanks just watched this before my install .
Thanks for watching
Breathe*
Time to lift the tank!
*Takes chain off*
hahhahhahahaah Thanks for watching.
is there any sound differences can you hear with these new one ?
No I cannot hear any difference.
Cada cuánto se cambia el filtro aire??
Cada 3.000-4.000 millas. Gracias por ver
👍 good!
Hi, I hope you can help me.
Is there a need to empty the tank before removing it?
Thanks :)
Many people can attest, not worth the money to change to aftermarket filters. Stock disposable filter is still king.
Do you have to drain the gas?
No do dont need to drain the gas. there will be a little in the lines thats about it.
Putting the plastics back on is tricky for me some reason.
Did you do a video when you changed your exhaust?
No It came with the bike Sorry. Thanks for watching
Simple Simon no prob! Ok cool I just ordered one for my Z900
Very nice ......
Thanks for watching.
Bonjour quelle référence pour un z900 a2 2022 svp
Love your content bro! At the end of the oil change video you talked about doing a video discussing how you got the deal you got on it and everything. You still going to post one about it?
Thank you !! I should have it finished in the next couple weeks. Keep a eye out for it.

If you are in a very dusty environment you may want to keep the stock one. Thanks for watching
Did u have to empty your fuel..
No you can do this with fuel in it. Thanks for watching
Tienes el filtro puesto al reves .jajaja.la parte filtrante roja es para abajo jajaj
jajaja ambos lados son rojos.
is there any wires that need to be removed for the fuel gauge ect that i did not see in the video??
Only line was the fuel line to the tank. No other lines or wires that I remember. There is a plug on the pump the bottom of the tank real easy to remove
@@SimpleSimon Thanks. also this may be a dumb question when when you removed the fuel lines how did you keep fuel coming out of the line or was the tank completely empty?
@@urbandualsport My tank was full of fuel, the fuel pump is in the tank so fuel wont leak out. a little came out of the line going to the engine.
@@SimpleSimon Thanks man!
Sooo much work for what gain?
Thanks for the video, I really apreciate it.
What is the brand of the motorcycle switchboard? Is it a DENSO switchboard?
Thank you.
Sorry not sure what a switchboard is , the air filter was from DNA.
Simple Simon I mean the ECU.
@@salvaros1460 Stock ECU I added a Power Commander 5
Nice Good Video 🤝👌
Thanks for watching
🇫🇷Ty for the Tuto!! Z900 👍
Thank you.
good
Thank you.
Nice one. Did you feel any changes on the bike after changing the air filter?
