Hello from rural Nevada!  Bought a 2019 Z1000 last month, have 3 rides, about 110 miles under my belt so far. Really pleased so far.

Welcome

Congrats and welcome to the forum.

Welcome and if you haven't done it yet replace the cfmoto air filter with a UNI Filter.  It will save your engine.

First thing I did was make a snorkle.  2 1/2" silicone intercooler tubing, oval-ed an aluminum connector connected to a 11"x3" 90 degree silicone tube.  The tube exits into the cargo bed and connects to a 2" ABS connector.  Two 45 fittings bring it into the cab where a length of 2" pipe brings it near the roof.  Stock filter goes on top with a UNI in the air box.  The silicone flexes to fit in stock location, and is less restrictive than the stock intake tube.  I'll get some pics later.

Looks like you've got the intake/air filter problem under control.  Looking forward to your photos.
