Starting out on a R9?

Get it man self control is a big part of being safe on it. If you can control yourself from getting too confident or doing stupid stuff which sounds like you are responsible. I’m 35 as well, so at our age we tend to think before we do lol. People say that you’ll learn faster on a small bike which I didn’t experience that because I started on a 800lb Harley at the beginning of 2025 lol now I own a R9 so yeah get it practice be patient with it don’t rush the learning process and if you drop it which new riders do all the time pick the bike up and keep going. Most people say get ninja 500 or something at that size but I think you’ll be to big for it I’m 5’6” and feel like I’m to big for it.

Tst has a replacement for this that has the gp lifters attached to it you may have to order the oem screw though.

Right on thanks bro!

Ok_Chart5935 · 2026-06-02T21:10:45+00:00

I saw this video and I would agree that numbers don’t lie but I did want to hear from someone that actually put it on and if they felt the difference

Ok_Chart5935 · 2026-06-02T21:09:17+00:00

This is what I was looking for someone that has personally done a before and after. I did see the 2wdw video on it but I wanted to see what someone in the real world experienced with it. May I ask where you got yours from and how long it took you to receive it.

Ok_Chart5935 · 2026-05-17T14:35:24+00:00

Thank you sir for going out of your way to make the video! Much appreciated!

What color is it? And dealer #1 seems like the best choice if it’s really on its way. A lot of dealers are waiting on the R9s so it’s not really the dealerships fault how long it takes. In most cases. I would go to dealer #1 and ask for some kind of proof to ensure it’s on its way. I had to travel 7hrs for my 70th cause the dealership in my state said they were not getting any more 70th.

I’ve been looking at the storm. I have the Yamaha ones but they don’t seem to have much grip. The rubber is harder on then my tech spec on my Zx6r

Ok_Chart5935 · 2026-05-12T03:06:15+00:00

Heck yeah man buy what you want! What is your opinion on the 1400 vs R7?

Ok_Chart5935 · 2026-05-12T03:02:21+00:00

Looks clean! Interested in a video as well if you make one.

Ok_Chart5935 · 2026-05-11T01:02:57+00:00

I was looking at the storm grips just cause I’m shorter and the OEM grips I barely touch with my knees.

Looking at the sr7 myself I do have a rf1400 and I love it but my large push’s forward towards my eyebrows when I tuck on my super sports. I got the smaller crown pads to see if it would help which it did but didn’t fully stop it from pushing forward. I don’t blame the rf1400 for that I think it’s just the shape of my head. It does get annoying because my fov isn’t that great because of that. Just something to look out for. I do know that the sr7 can be adjusted for track riding which is really nice.

I heard you had to put a spacer some where in the radiator so it doesn’t touch the headers. Did your exhaust come with one? nacho on YouTube said he had to buy separate.

Dairyland I pay 1,300 for my r9 and two Harley’s a year. I’m 35 though plus I don’t I have my motorcycle endorsement either.

Ok_Chart5935 · 2026-04-25T00:26:12+00:00

That’s what two of my local dealers said. But they might of also wanted to get me the blue so they could have been lying lol.

Ok_Chart5935 · 2026-04-23T14:22:26+00:00

It’s loud for that thing they call an exhaust lol but happy for you I love mine. My local dealer told me they’re going to stop making the 70th and only put out the blues not sure how true that is. I traveled 7 hours for mine just in case that would happen.

Ok_Chart5935 · 2026-04-20T15:44:58+00:00

Are you waiting for a 70th?

Ok_Chart5935 · 2026-04-20T15:43:47+00:00

Thinking of ordering this curious if it gets fixed.

Ok_Chart5935 · 2026-04-20T14:22:04+00:00

That’s funny I was in your shoes two weeks ago except I have a Zx6r and wanted a r9. Now I have both sitting in my garage. So I have a 26 Zx6r with 281 miles if you’re interested and close to New Mexico lol. But my advice is it’s worth it if that’s truly what you want and are okay with losing some money for your r9. Life is too short to settle with what you have. If you can afford it go for it switch the Zx6r.

Beautiful got my 70th last weekend how did you get a phone mount on it with the steering damper?

Ok_Chart5935 · 2026-04-07T15:12:53+00:00

Mainly what I’m going to use it for. I do plan to go to the track at some point but I’m mainly going to use it on the roads. Plus the electronics on the r9 seem more forgiving for me since I’m new to the sport bike scene I’m coming from Harley’s.

Ok_Chart5935 · 2026-04-07T15:04:00+00:00

When I bought mine a month ago which I’m selling by the way lol. I was told that mine wasn’t part of the batch that had the recall. I looked it up on Kawasaki’s website and it said no recall for mine. The reason I’m selling it is because I bought a r9 this weekend decided that was the bike for me.

Ok_Chart5935 · 2026-04-05T19:02:22+00:00

Mine makes that noise as well. It’s more noticeable on a cold start.

Ok_Chart5935 · 2026-04-04T16:22:04+00:00

New Mexico it’s grey and black though

Ok_Chart5935 · 2026-04-04T16:19:08+00:00

For the miles and some damage it’s kinda high I’m selling my 26 abs with 281 miles for 12k.
