How to install an aftermarket exhaust on 2024 Z900! Full exhuast system!!!

What it do? We got a new exhaust for the bike. I got a Dominator full exhaust in the mail a few days ago so I'm super stoked to put it on. It's gonna save a ton of weight, sound better. It was pretty simple to put together. I probably put it together in about 10 minutes. I think it's about seven or eight pieces including the four headers. Match the colors, throw the springs on. All right so first thing we're gonna do is take off the rear set on the right side just so we can get to the first hanger on the stock slip-on and then you'll be able to access that first hanger at the bottom. Two bolts just like that. After the first bottom hanger we'll go to the passenger peg hanger then we'll jump to the slip-on muffler guard. It's black because I got hit a few weeks ago. Full YouTube video of that coming up soon. Right now I'm just taking the exhaust apart kind of piece by piece. We'll start with the muffler guard and then I'll take the slip-on off and then I'll take the bread box with the headers off in one piece. And if you do start your bike just know that the headers are gonna get hot within like 15-20 seconds and you probably won't be able to touch your headers for about 20-30 minutes afterwards so if you do start it let it cool down so you don't burn yourself. The bike sounds pretty quiet. When I got this bike I was like really surprised how quiet it was. I've never bought a brand new bike with a stock exhaust. To get the exhaust off I just took a crescent wrench and I think it might be like an eight millimeter bolt it's pretty small but took a crescent wrench to the worm gear clamp loosened it up and the exhaust comes right off. Exhaust is unfolded. As soon as the exhaust came off I could tell that the stock slip-on weighed as much as my Dominator full exhaust system which is pretty insane. The Z900 stock weight for the exhaust is around 27 pounds. My Dominator full exhaust is about 8 or 9 pounds so it saves me around 16-17 pounds which is pretty insane. I've seen people ride around with no exhaust so I just wanted to hear what it sounded like real quick. Now I'm gonna take off the belly fairing so we can get to the O2 sensor. There we go. This had me stumped for about 20-30 minutes. I saw a couple videos of a couple dudes completely cutting the O2 sensors. I saw a video of a guy lifting up his gas tank and unclipping an O2 sensor underneath the tank so he could twist it off and I was just really nervous about twisting the O2 sensor but I called someone and he said hey man just twist it should come off in about four turns it won't mess up the wiring whatsoever. So hopefully that information will help some of you guys out. So we got the O2 sensor out. We have both the hanger bolts off. I did grab my jack and throw it under the bread box just so when I do undo all of the header bolts it won't just drop down. Now we just have to do the headers which is going to be a 12 millimeter and there's eight bolts for the headers. Once everything is unbolted you can grab the bread box from underneath and the headers and kind of just wiggle it out. It should just come out no problem. There she is. This is so heavy. That bread box is huge though so. First thing on the new exhaust I'm going to throw the bottom hanger bolt in just so the exhaust is going to be held up. I'm not going to screw it in tight because if you do that the headers are not going to go in smooth. You're going to really be fighting with them so just put that bolt in and leave it loose. Now I'm just going to start putting the headers where they go. They're nice and loose so they're fitting and perfect so it's really no problem. All right home stretch. I'm over it. Guard back on. We're good. So when installing the O2 sensor on the new exhaust I'm twisting it counterclockwise about four times. That way when I screw it on when it tightens the wires are going to be straight. They're not going to be all twisted up. Now we'll put the belly fairing back on. It's like two screws and it also clips in a couple spots too. The exhaust hanger is going to be one nut and one bolt. Pretty simple and then once you get that tightened you can now put your rear set back onto your motorcycle. There she is. The full install of the Dominator exhaust. I hope some of these tips help you guys out and be safe out there this summer. Cool no lights on. Holy ----.
