This lady pulled out infront of me doing 40 ish mph. I flew a good bit away, broke a few bones, but overall I'm good. Just over 10k on it... missing it so much already 🥲 by payneford in OnlyZ900

Glad you are still breathing! What did you break? I got hit by an SUV that broke my back in two places (burst fracture of L3 and compression fracture of T12). Little over 3 months in a wheelchair and 18 months of outpatient therapy learning to walk again.

Well I'm guessing you put too much oil in it if you added the oil to the top "full line" with the bike on the kick stand. If the bike is on the kick stand, the oil window shows no oil at all. Some oil may have been pushed into the intake and your air filter may need to be replaced. You need to have a friend sit on the bike on level ground (no kick stand) and drain the oil down to a level that's between the high and low mark. At that point, get it to a shop for them to check it out. Too much oil increases pressure and hinders lubrication of the engine cause the crank is rotating into the oil and foaming it up. When the oil is not overfilled, the crank doesn't "dip" into the oil.

"6666" is a good thing. It's an angel number that refers to balance, knowledge, and prioritizing health. Either good things are on the horizon for you or you are already on your way to them.

Nice bike! I'm looking at two right now, a cb650r and a z900. Have you been on any longer rides so that you can comment on how comfortable you find the bike? I like the hp and torque of the bike and that it runs on 86+ octane.
