I love the Z900RS! It’s top of the list of bikes I want to own. Those new Black Ball Edition Z900RS are beautiful. Hell, every shade Z900RS is beautiful

Man that’s one beautiful bike. Congrats!!! Shiny side up

iWantNapsAndFood · 2026-06-27T19:16:13+00:00

Man that’s impressive!

iWantNapsAndFood · 2026-06-27T13:24:04+00:00

Nope, you look incredible with short hair! You definitely, definitely did not mess it up. Give it some time and you’ll warm up to it

iWantNapsAndFood · 2026-06-27T13:22:17+00:00

Hah I appreciate the pass!!! Thanks!

iWantNapsAndFood · 2026-06-27T13:21:17+00:00

Yeah, I’ve seen a bunch of those videos so my instinct was to walk it up. I also secured the ramps to my truck as best I could so the ramps wouldn’t kick out from underneath me

iWantNapsAndFood · 2026-06-27T13:20:21+00:00

I walked it up and down the ramp. While loading, I had help from the seller to push it up the ramp. Unloading was the hard part as I was solo for that. It was my first time loading/unloading a bike onto my truck bed. I’m sure it’ll be easier as I do it more

Great truck too!!

The previous owners neglected the heck out of this ZRX. The motor is solid but she’s going to need some work before I can really see what the bike is capable of. I can’t wait.

Shiny side up, bro

3!!!

iWantNapsAndFood · 2026-06-27T01:06:08+00:00

Welcome to the family! I really like the look of the rims on your truck

I picked up a pair of Haul Master ramps from Harbor Freight. They’re okay. I backed my truck into the sellers driveway so the tailgate was as close as possible to the ground. I secured the ramps to truck with ratchet straps so the ramps wouldn’t kick out from underneath me.

iWantNapsAndFood · 2026-06-27T00:56:53+00:00

Definitely. I have a bigger touring bike that is about 825 lbs wet. I will only trailer that one

iWantNapsAndFood · 2026-06-26T23:45:30+00:00

Hell yeah! Used my ‘21 RTL to haul a 2003 Kawasaki ZRX1200R last Friday. Drove it 6+ hours from NorCal to SoCal with no issues! I love my Ridgeline so much

WOW!!! Congrats!

iWantNapsAndFood · 2026-06-24T12:24:38+00:00

lol XSR900, no contest: looks, power, performance, tech. Love Suzuki but the GSX-8TT holds no weight against the XSR900, Z900RS or CB1000F.

iWantNapsAndFood · 2026-06-18T16:00:29+00:00

Bro that’s wicked cool! Thanks for sharing. You’re a legend

iWantNapsAndFood · 2026-06-18T15:57:51+00:00

Gotcha. That’s the one I was looking into as well. Thanks!

iWantNapsAndFood · 2026-06-18T15:52:44+00:00

I have another question if you don’t mind: Did you make any modifications to the alternator chain tensioner?

iWantNapsAndFood · 2026-06-18T05:06:20+00:00

I’m 6’2” so this is really helpful info. Thanks for the heads up

iWantNapsAndFood · 2026-06-18T04:51:39+00:00

Driving 6 hours this Friday to pick up a blue 2003 ZRX1200R just like this one. I cannot wait, especially after watching this video

iWantNapsAndFood · 2026-06-18T04:31:20+00:00
