Kawasaki Z900 [2022-2023] Price in Tumkur

I haven't purchased the z900, I ride my friend's z900, and its crazy gear shifter is awesome and sounds fire. It looks so cool, and the perfect performance is very well. I loved it. Kawasaki gives good service and maintenance is too tough. But for us, 8t doesn't matter. More it becomes my dream bike.

About the Reviewer

This is my 2years ownership review of kawasaki z900 2021.
I bought this superbike on 3rd march 2021.
Just to give background of what i was looking in my first superbike
1. Relailibilty
2. Refinement
3. Torque throughout the rpm range
4. Decent milage
5. Good top speed
6. Good heat management
7. Long-distance decent riding comfort
8. Riding modes, traction control, led lighting
9. Priced reasonably
Question: did it check all the above points
Answer: a huge yesssssss
I have completed 18,162 kms as of today the 2nd march 2023.
Positives
1. Brutal acceleration
( 1st gear = 100 kmph, 2nd gear = 130 kmph, 3rd gear = 166 kmph, 4th gear = 195 kmph, 5th gear = 215 kmph, 6th gear = 250+ kmph)
2. Most refined in line 4 japanese beauty of 948cc
3. Fantastic heat management
4. Torque monster 25kmph in 6th gear no jerks
5. Decent milage 17.5 to 25kmpl for 948cc
6. Decent top speed of 250kmph stock
7. Rider modes with custom mode which turns the bike from controlled aggression to uncontrolled aggression
Negatives
1. Worst rear seat comfort.. Can't sit for more than 5kms
2. Wind blast ( a good visor can be helpful )
Mra visor has taken care of this when tucked in.
Following issues faced during my ownership. Very minimal issues but all were resolved. However, it will be good to know for all new zee owners.
* throttle position sensor error pops ( ktrc) if we open the throttle accidentally during cold start. If this happens riding mode can't be changed until the bike temp hits 100 degrees, then switch off and start the bike to get rid of this error.
* low oil indicator lamp glows even though oil level is perfect.. This is because the sensor terminal corrodes. Just access the terminal spray wd40 and it's good to go.
* idle rpm drops occasionally below 1k may be due to fuel quality. Access the rpm screw and manually increase the rpm to 1.2k recommended idle speed. Use fuel system cleaner additive from liqui moly.
* front number plate screws are installed after the bike reaches the Indian shores. These screws are substandard and will corrode and get jammed, make sure to replace these screws immediately after taking delivery of the bike.
* stock dunlop sportsmax2 tyres are not good during wet riding conditions.
* rock-hard pillion seat. Better to install seat cowl to enhance the looks of an already lethal-looking monster.
Maintenance and running cost of kawasaki z900 in 2 years. (18k kms)
1. Total fuel used = 1010 liters = rs 1.07lakh approx
2. Total full services 4 including brake pads = 60k
3. Pair of veridestian tyres = 26k
4. Own damage insurance for 2 years = 34k
5. Washing detailing amt spent = 10k approx
Total running & maintenance cost in 2 years = 2,37,000/-
Basically, it translates to approx
1,20,000/- per year if you are not compromising on the quality of service and consumables.
Verdict = no wonder why this is the highest selling inline 4.
It has 948cc, 123bhp, 98.6nm torque, torque throughout the rev range, and commendable overall mileage between 18 - 25kmpl. Superb top speed of 250 kmph, the most refined gem of an engine.
If you want speed hallucination this monster is for you.

About the Reviewer

I have never owned this bike but maybe in the future after watching this bike live I became a fan of this bike
It is a pure naked sport bike
It can reach upto 200+ speed easily o think the bike is a bit heavy but it will be good i we are used to it
This bike's stock exhaust is also so good that its sound is so loud.
