I don't feel much.
I don't feel it much. I don't feel a huge change in the gear shift. I feel like the gear stops significantly when I go up from 1st to 2nd. View detail

Change rodRetainer
It was hard to get into gear at high rpm and above 2nd gear, but now it is a little better. Installation is easy. The product is highly accurate and casually customizable. View detail

Shift is easily determined.
It was said by our predecessors that Shift change can be a bit tricky to hook up a few times. Without doubting that, we promptly purchased the product. After installing it, I still feel that it has come to be decided crisply. View detail

Super gear shift support
I purchase the Archi Change Rod Retainer in black for my Z900RS. Very easy to install and it has made my gear changes very smooth and even the notorious change from 5th gear to 6th gear is considerably better. Just remember to grease the needle bearings on installation and from time to time to maintain their efficiency, Very happy with purchase ! View detail

Needle bearing is good
This eliminates rattling of the shaft, which increases the sense of Direct.
When assembling, WAKOS Grease was applied to the bearing.
Once assembled, they are basically never removed.
The Z900RS has a long shaft due to its structure, so it is not possible to support it.
Seems effective.

Little bit disappointed
I am a little disappointed in the quality of the marigold finish on the rearsets and frame connectors. I have had them on the bike for a couple of months. The anodizing is already starting to discolor. The quality of the parts is good, and I love the look. View detail

highly effective
Any Stress on Shift change has been eliminated.
Although the instructions say to install it in OEM condition and it is not possible to install it on custom parts, we were able to cooperate with it without too much difficulty.

A much more comfortable position than stock
I prefer the product of archi. Subframes, back steps, long tails, fender kits, etc Backstep isn't hard enough to change by yourself However, since the vibration is close, you have to do a strong bolting well. It is also satisfactory because the edge finish of the product is much higher than that of Chinese products. After using it for a certain period of time, Back steps on the calves when reversing are much less than genuine products. I'm satisfied with the design I think it would be better if the anodizing was strong. View detail

I no longer have to worry about unexpectedly scraping the footpeg.
I like the look of the product. Material feels very good in my hand.
I thought it would be better to ask the Shop to do it because the product instructions are not for Beginner and you need to have some tools.
There are two positions for the footpeg, and I set it closer to the back, but I thought it would be better if it could be set further back.
Overall, I like it very much.

Obviously, the Shift feel has changed.
[Feeling of use]
Overall, the Shift feel has been improved and is now Snap.
The most significant change was the improved entry of GEAR into 3rd→4th gear.
Composition
From the back side (T/M side)
1.Backup ring
2.O-ring
3.Needle bearing
4.Oil seal
Assembled in the above order.
Although it will function even if it is assembled into the vehicle as it is, there is a concern about lubrication, so we recommend that you take a step before assembling it into the vehicle. Multi-purpose grease is fine.
As purchased, the O-ring is coated with something like Vaseline, the Needle bearing feels like it has a rust inhibitor applied to it, and the Oil seal has nothing applied to it.
[Notes]
The picture in the Instruction Manual (Fig. 1) shows a figure of 25 N/m, but this tightening torque is Overtorque for the M6 parallel SUSBolt. However, this tightening torque is Overtorque for the M6 parallel SUSBolt. (According to the instruction manual:10N/m) is the correct answer.
It is better to use a Torque wrench to tighten them, instead of relying on intuition as much as possible.

It's better than you think.
My Z900RS had difficulty entering 4th gear below 4000 RPM, and I was wondering if it was a Kawasaki specific problem. There are about three types of this kind of thing, but I chose the one with bearings because it is a place that is frequently used. I think even a beginner can install it in less than 10 minutes. And my impression after installation... Oooh." It has become so easy to enter that you can tell that you are in the right place. It is sometimes difficult to enter, but it feels like a snap and the shifting feeling has also improved. I wish it were cheaper, but I think it would be good for people with similar symptoms to try this kind of parts. View detail

Was skeptical but working great
Had 2 false neutrals the day I installed this part and haven’t had one since. Much firmer, more positive shifts up and down. Bike was new and was experiencing miss shifts going up and down on a daily basis. As I hit 8500 miles the transmission seemed to be getting better but it's great now. Definitely notice a difference with this part. Packed it full of marine grade grease before installing it. View detail

Reliable Needle bearingType
I chose this Needle bearing built-in type as a result of considering which one I should choose out of three companies because similar parts are available from A and K companies at almost the same price. The oil seal prevents the grease from flowing out of the needle bearing.
You can also choose the color, I chose Gold to match the color of the body. It is attached to the place where it is hard to see, but when you look into the bottom, Gold shines and asserts itself.
