I've come back for another watch because I rode a ZH2 today for my channel - I like the power delivery better than the H2 SX because Kawasaki have engineered the ZH2 for peak torque 1000rpm lower down the rev range - the midrange grunt is amazing 😍 Feels a bit top heavy though... somehow the SX feels lighter even though I know it's heavier. I'd love an H2 SX with a ZH2 tune!
Come to take a look as soon as I saw Extreme Creations in my recommendations, I remember your firm from the MT09 days 😁 Funnily enough I've been looking for opinions on the SP Exhausts recently and I'm in the UK so thanks for that! You've got a new subscriber... the ZH2 has got my attention and I'm looking forward to see what you can do with it. However please do something about the loud wind blast through the helmet mic when you're riding at a decent speed! 📢
It usually rained on my first rides. I didn't care! Looking forward to the next one in a couple of weeks. I have my eye on a nice used Concours 14 with everything I would need to add to a new one. I hope it is still available when I'm ready to make the deal.
Hi! First of all I’m absolutely loving your content! I’ve got a question, how did the AFR behave through the RPM when changing the muffler and air filter, did the ECU compensate nicely? Thanks a lot and I will definitely keep an eye on the channel.
Fantastic video. Thanks for taking the time and for your skills. Changing the slipon as you did, do you need to reflash in order not to damage the engine running to lean? Or could it remain as is? Power you got is at the wheel? Thanks again
supercgarger at the gear machine 22. at sup 24 We want to get more boost. Which gear do we need to reduce? May I have knowledge? And how much does the AF tuning need to be?
Any idea when you plan on fixing the issue with the H2 oil pans? I'm still waiting for a pan I can use because thats alot of money I spent for something that doesn't work the way it should.
I test drove the ZH2 on Saturday (18/07/20) during a local Kawasaki Demo Day and came away slightly disappointed. It's flawless in terms of balance and controls. Rides great around town and the power is grin inducing on the open road but something felt wrong. It just felt, plasticy and too much like a toy. And that standard exhaust set-up is definitely a deal killer. I was hoping to be seduced enough to be able to swap it for my 2015 Z1000 Black Edition but no.
Thanks for the vid. I’ve been considering one of these bikes. I’ve been riding my gen 1 Z for 10 years and I think its time to upgrade. I get some of its opinion BUT I have to say this is probably one of the most underwhelming videos I’ve seen about the Z-H2. Is it possible the missing mid-range has something to do with the break in period? Most of these reviews I’m hearing the mid range is its claim to fame.
Compared to other factory bikes there's definitely no lack of mid range although as we mentioned compared with our other turbo bikes there is room for improvement, it wasnt meant to be a bike review video, more of a starting point video as performance modifications is what we do.
@@stevesmith6236 RipJawsX 95 is right, if you see the video in 12:18, he says there is different dynos out there, and maybe he's dyno shows less hp.. see the video at 12:18
@@ΓκιουλτζάνΚαραχότζα No kidding. I actually did watch the entire video. I know very well the whole " every dyno reads differently" speech, perhaps this dyno should be professionally calibrated to reflect real numbers. 20+ hp less than many others is WAY LOW. Just waiting for the spaghetti bike fan boys to spout these rear wheel numbers and claim their favorite bikes make more.
200 crank horsepower. About 186 to the tire . Brocks performance did a vid on it . Check it out . Not bad considering no one has cracked the ECU on these yet. Once someone does it's going to be a monster . Probably 240+ hp .
the H2 R got a really nice belly pan would look very nice on Zh2 , shame about the exhaust you put on it though looks like Chinese carbon fiber exhaust.
duc fan boy are ya? Not meant as a road racer bike, meant as a kick-ass hooligan, street racer, drag race bike. Understand now? Go have some spaghetti.
And Street fighter will never handle like a panigale v4s . If u want SF go get one. If u want a ZH2 go get one. Dont confuse urself thinking both bikes are the same thing. Theres a difference. Bike choices are awesome right now
Ducati is not a looker as well , on top of that who need 200 bhp on a naked bike in a first place . I can barely hold on to my mt10 . Anything over 100 is a pain
And you couldn't even ride either bike to 20% of their abilities so your point is completely meaningless. On top of that, good luck with longevity, reliability, price of entry, cost of mods and repairs vs Kawasaki. Never mind the fact that duc's lose what seems like 30% of their value after 2000kms is racked up on the clock
@@lukaszg74 A talented riding friend of mine bought a brand new Panigale V4 last year (2019 model). It was uncomfortable, lots of vibrations (mirrors shook all over the place even at idle!) and he had gas leaking issues and the hydraulic brake lid leaked.. Others like it stranded their owners on the side of the road. Very unreliable . He soon after sold it to some other sucker.
