Okay, so, I recently got my hands on this Kawasaki Z900RS. A real beauty, right? But there’s always room for improvement, you know? I’ve been tinkering with it, and one thing that really bugged me was the lack of a center stand. It’s a pain to do even basic maintenance without one. I thought there must be one on sale somewhere, so I did some research.
So I went online and looked it up. Man, let me tell you, finding the right parts online can be a wild goose chase. But I finally stumbled upon this Kawasaki factory center stand kit, part number 99994-1283. It’s specifically for the Z900RS and the Z900RS Cafe, all years. Sweet! That’s what I needed.
I found a few places selling it. I compared the prices, and after some browsing, I finally pulled the trigger and ordered it.
A few days later, the package arrived. I eagerly opened it, and there it was, all shiny and new. It’s a forged steel stand, looks pretty solid. The kit came with all the hardware needed, which was a relief. I didn’t want to run around looking for bolts and nuts.
The installation took a little effort, but the instructions were easy enough to figure out. I got my tools ready and started to assemble it. I had to get under the bike and wrestle with it for a bit, but nothing too complicated. I placed the stand and fixed it with the kit.
And there you have it! Now my Z900RS has a proper center stand. It’s so much easier to work on the bike now, whether it’s changing the oil or just giving it a good clean. Plus, it feels more stable when it’s parked.
- First, I searched for the center stand online.
- Then, I compared prices and found the best deal.
- I ordered the kit and waited for it to arrive.
- Once it arrived, I opened the package and inspected the parts.
- I read the instructions and gathered my tools.
- Finally, I installed the center stand on my bike.
All in all, I’m pretty happy with this upgrade. It wasn’t too expensive, and it makes a big difference. If you’ve got a Z900RS, I definitely recommend getting one of these center stand kits. It’s worth the time and effort.
