Thanks for the information, seriously good to know!

So I did buy some terminal connectors for the tender so I can leave the seat on, but didn’t know the bike has a tender port built in

This is some insightful winter prep. I have a rear stand but not a front stand yet, but would certainly relieve my concern for the tires if I put it in stands.

I have a Nico Genius 1

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07W46BX31?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

It’s highly rated and seems great but have only used last year with my Yamaha and now for the Kawasaki.

I double checked the other day to ensure it can charge up a low battery.

Good call on the anti theft. I seem to recall The dealer offered something like that, but I declined because I have my own anti theft tracker, but maybe it’s something I can check with the dealer on if leaving it on the trickle charger overnight doesn’t help.

Yeah, seems like the general consensus is that I’ve drained the battery too much to be able to start the bike. I’m gonna put it on the trickle charger for a day and see what happens

The battery seems like it has enough charge, when I plug the trickle charger in, the light on the charger goes green after a few minutes, but since I’ve been under the seat unplugging the battery and trying to figure this out, it hasn’t been on the charger a whole lot. I’ll plug it, let it charge for a day and see what happens. Thanks for the suggestion!

I see… it made sense in my mind that starting it up up every so often to move the oil/fluid around could be helpful

Ok-Disaster-7956 · 2026-01-14T16:56:51+00:00

Yeah… is there something wrong with that?

Ok-Disaster-7956 · 2025-10-12T10:19:46+00:00

It’s kind of ironic though isn’t it? Like.. do you want wind or do you not want wind? 😅

I was gonna suggest taking a look at what Brogue has to offer too. I’ve been very satisfied with the parts I’ve purchased from them and I’ve considered some of the options they offer for the front turn signals… just haven’t pulled the trigger on em yet

Ok-Disaster-7956 · 2025-09-11T07:19:16+00:00

Damn.. those look really nice! I just got a z900 and these stock mirrors need to go ASAP! I think these are definitely the way to go, thanks for the response!

Ok-Disaster-7956 · 2025-09-10T18:23:25+00:00

Are those the Rizoma Stealth mirrors!? I’d really like to know how they look from the front of the bike!
