- I test ride the 2023 Kawasaki Z900 naked sport bike and give my initial impressions on how the bike rides around town and on the freeway. This was my first time riding a Kawasaki Z900. I haven't ridden the older Z800 either. I used to test ride the Z1000 and that was one of my favorite bikes at the time.
This bike was ridden in Sport mode for the review. I have ridden smoother throttles before in Sport mode on other bikes.
I do compare this bike in some aspects to the Ninja 400 and Ninja 650 that I had previously ridden.

People love this instant speed in their palms ❤smash it
Have a '22 Z900 and a '22 Z900RS. Neither have snatchy throttles. Both have tons of grunt. The Z is my favorite, just not as comfy.Both get 50 mpg. Build quality s superb. No gripes, just praise, except OEM tires on Z suck, but easily replaced. Got both for less than a maintenance intensive European job. Very happy.
Test riding this bike tomorrow
I just tried the Z900 during the demo 2 days ago....... omg the kick the bike is insane and I love how clean the rev sounds
Selling a 2022 with only 1,200 miles. Showroom new. Only $7,600.
@@techguy3373 what state are you in?
@@ryant483 Memphis. Just lowered the price. $1,200 miles showroom new. Only $7,200. Have dealer papers for it’s 700 mile services.
@@techguy3373 if you were in the uk i would have bought it dammmmn
@@Ul-Haq Yea. I sold that bike 8 days ago. Only $7,200 USD. It was showroom mint with it’s first 700 mile service done at the Kawasaki dealership. It had 1,200 miles on it. Kept with cover in a heated garage. Not even a tiny scuff on it. I babied that bike. Dude that bought it got a HUGE deal. It was the blue and black. Actually considering the carful break in that bike was worth $8,600 easy. He got it for $7,200 USD. All service papers and title in hand.
The throttle on my 2023 zx6r is the same. An ECU flash would help smooth it out, all the bikes now are so restricted due to euro5.
I think it would have been a smoother clutch grab if you were not in 'Sport' mode.
Yes, it should be. Although I have ridden smoother bikes in their respective Sport modes. Kawasaki's are a little more on/off in my opinion.
His shifting is slow.
@@Illness.og. Yeah, the rpm's are dropping too quickly for how long he's taking to actually shift the gears and re-engage the clutch giving that lurching feeling as the clutch has to spin faster to catch up to the engine speed.
Iam 53yr old and have a 22z 900 from the factory when new you need to adjust the throttle cable and clutch cable the have a lil to much play in them.I m a daily rider have bout 7k on mine no issues and it is blast to ride.smooth down low and screams above8000
Hi mate!
I own a 2016 z1000, How can you compare as you rode on before! I would like to have more tech on a bike and be also littlemore comfortable plus gas mileage!
Thank you
Sport mode is not bop around city riding. Hit rain mode.
Yes. In rain mode i found throttle less snatchy. And if you go and try user mode and set power to full and traction controll to full its the same less twitchy throttle. Its seema like if traction control is off or in sport mode set on 1 you got twitch throottle but if you set it higher on 3 its more smooth for me. 🤷♂️
Hello.
I bought a new kawasaki z900 (35KW). But i could not set the Drive modes. There are KTRC levels in the area where the drive modes are located. I would appreciate your help. Rideology-App" only the KTRC option is active. Driving Mode, Power etc. are not active. When I press the lower part of the gray button, the screen color changes to white. the upper gray button is not active
Read your owner's manual scroll down to rider mode below rain mode use select button the f will flash adjust then adjust ktric press a bit d hold select button to toggle back to temp mileage info
Has anyone ever noticed that it can be (sometimes) impossible to change from second to third and from third to fourth gear when the engine speed is over 4000 rpm? I've traveled 300 miles so far, and it occurs frequently.
I'm unsure if this is a safety measure for the first 600 miles or if the gearbox is broken.
Check clutch cable adjustment or have dealer do it, these trannys are tough. No problems on mine.
Not a fan of "snatchy throttles" common on EFI bikes.
will you do the ninja 1000sx ?
I wasn't able to ride that one. I did ride the Versys 1000 which has the same engine and it was pretty fun.
I have the 2020 version in grey and can honestly say that I can't even fathom a bike with 80 more hp on top of this...smh
I wanna watch a review where someone knows how to shift
I don’t know man, i have the Z900 and even though its not really my first bike i had a 650 classic Yamaha V Star for only for 10 months and half those months is winter as i am in Canada so wasn’t riding it all 10 months and its pretty easy to handle finding no issues
Of course i am taking necessary precautions like limiting highway riding and keeping it in rain mode till i can fully adjust. I think its ok for newer riders but maybe not every new rider as i know some people have a longer learning curve and they dont pick it up quickly
Either way im loving my Z900
I don’t think you did or gave that fine machine the credit or kudos it deserves…
I would already own one if they hadn’t made the tail so ridiculously high... seriously if it was 9 inches lower it would still have plenty of tire clearance
I’m 5’5. It’s not that tall.
You’re probably in the wrong gear, and not used to riding a big capacity motorbike in my opinion
