It is much lighter than the Z800. By around 20kg. And I think the overall weight distribution of the Z900 is towards the lower part of the bike compared to Z800.

Urkk, what happened to you sir?
Anyway, yes, 125 BHP motorcycle for a beginner is overkill...

Have you gotten your fork and shock sag settings set? You can try to tweak it yourself by adjusting the preload and rebound. Not sure how to set, you need to google for guides. Or send it to a shop and set it.

This was shot using GoPro Hero 5 Black. Lasts around 3 hours +- per battery.

Hmmm... 2 hours++ kot instead of 3... sorry, my bad
I don't use any stabilisation nor GPS/Bluetooth/Wifi, and shot at 1080p25 (usually).

Yup. MT09 and the Tracer 900.

MT09:
- I kinda like all the ride modes, traction control (on the newer version only IINM), QS, etc.
- I was waiting for the double headlamp (2018). But it took a looonnnnggg time.
- Why I got the Z900 instead:
1. Kenot tahan dy (waiting too long).
2. Yamaha is like snail with their big bikes compared to their mopeds in Malaysia.
3. You can find a LOT of Kawa service center (in KL at least).
4. At that time, not sure what is the price for the newer MT09 (price could be higher due to a lot of tech stuffs).
5. A lot of people (online) said it was jerky, like an on-off throttle. I don't ride fast ALL the time.
6. No regrets purchasing Z900 even tho no high tech stuffs (which I can add on later, especially the QS).
7. The community seems friendly/family-like enough. Mostly are newcomers and upgraders from 250 like me. So, no one person with the mindset of "I am in the scene for 30 years, you MUST heed my advise or you'll die riding."

Tracer 900:
- Felt way too big for me when I sat on it. I thought to myself, how am I gonna cilok thru jam with this huge handlebar.

It CAN slip, only if you crack it open on slippery road (like from 10% throttle to full throttle). I also had thought previously, oh my, how am I able to control the 125 horses on slippery road without traction control. So far, no problemo. The throttle is sooooo smooth that it does not need TC.

Actually, if you want TC, you can get the Z900RS. It is equipped with KTRC.

I believe RuFusS has SHAD side boxes. Can ask him bout it.

Looking at the centre stand...

And then the RS's suspension diagram...

And the normal Z900 suspension diagram...

Conclusion: Might need to modify something to make the centre stand fit as both frames/chassis are a bit different...

I do. Keramat to Bangsar via DUKE Highway. I used to use AKLEH and Jalan Tun Razak.

I use headlamp cover. Bulb is original from factory. Why?

Actually, not so heavy because the weight distribution design of the bike is good.

Everyday? If there's a tail bag, most probably it is me.

Yeah, if off the bike, kinda heavy. But I guess this is true for most > 160 kg bikes.

In that case, must not be me. I have a lamp protector, thus, high and low should be yellow. I think cages notice me even more with yellow lights.

How often do you lubricate your chain?
For the clutch, did you change your levers? If yes, have you properly set the tension? If not, did you fiddle with the clutch cable tensioner? And what oil brand and weight are you using?
Kinda hard to guess, try posting a video of the issues you're facing, or just bring it to your trusted mechanics to check if there is a problem.

Maybe your clutch cable needs some tweaking. Bring it to an authorised dealer to check it out.

Oh my, I never had this issue. How low was your rpm?

Btw, I'm also using Kawi Full Synth 10w-40.

By the way, was it hot when the gear suddenly change to N? And it went to N from 1 or 2? Or other gears? If it is the latter, scary weh...

Is the drive chain properly tighten? I think you need to be a bit anal on it. Specs in the book say 25-35mm play (1.0-1.4 inch). Mine now is around 22-23mm. Noisy and feel like gearbox nak rosak. Later gotta go and slacken it a bit.

Yeah, just make sure it is properly tighten. Last time on Ninja 250, my stock chain lasts for 3 years.
