2017-18 Kawasaki Versys X 300 Exhaust Sound - Stock vs. Yoshimura R-77 slip-on

www.yoshimura-...
The Kawasaki Versys-X 300, an entry level adventure bike that is sure to make waves in the ADV market. Derived from the iconic Ninja 300 platform, the Versys-X 300 is going to be a sure fire performer!
No stranger to the Ninja 300 or ADV bikes, we set off to not only lighten up the back end of the new Versys, but to improve the power and torque delivery. Mission accomplished! We knocked 4lbs off from the stock unit and added more horsepower and torque! This R-77 comes in our very popular Works Finish and comes with a stainless steel laser etched heat shield. Perhaps the best feature is now the Versys-X sounds like it means business!
Proudly made in the USA!

That exhaust sound perfectly suited to this bike

[@YoshimuraUSA]

Performance too!

[@venanciosilva6259]

I’m driving 5 hrs next Monday to pick one of these up wish me luck

[@YoshimuraUSA]

Good luck!

[@diopork3904]

The fly by's are key to grasp the sound.. excellent job with these videos Akropovic doesn't do this and I haven't purchased my first bike yet.. Thinking I'll go Yoshi because of this effort

[@YoshimuraUSA]

Thanks Dio! The videos are no pro by any means, but they work. We appreciate the comment!

[@casey360360]

The more I see of this bike, the more I wanna trade my 600 Sport for one.

[@arjaks2007]

Same here😄

[@FireMan2630]

perfect sound

[@travelinben1966]

Don’t need another bike, but damn, I love this one!

[@Rkevwill2687]

Yeah. Have you heard how this bike screams at 10,000 RPM's with the stock pipes? Of course, it would scare the deer off half a mile away. The Yosha sounds great, but might be too loud at high RPM's, which is what this bike is all about.

[@Person432483920]

At high way speeds the wind is twice as loud as the stock exhaust.

[@jordanb4293]

Sounds great for an adventure bike

[@wickedleeloopy2115]

JordanB and a few hundred cc's this is no adventure bike. the seat is as hard as a plank of wood.

[@conceptcs]

People have traveled the world on 50cc scooters. 300cc is plentiful. Seat upholstery can be upgraded. Or you can get a motorcycle seat cushion protector, or wait a while for better aftermarket seats. Don't discredit a bike just because it's not a R1200GS.

[@jasons44]

its a great little bike i have one, you can take anywhere! road trip or the woods. but the seat does SUCK kaw owners should call in and ask for a diff seat, I DID? >>>....

[@critter4436]

I've put 300 miles on mine and it's hurts my arse so bad that I don't want to ride it until someone comes out with a seat. And not that ugly Corbin one.

[@Techrodd]

Ordering mine rn, stock exhaust sounds so hallow. This slip-on will definitely improve my bike's sound. Update soon

[@Techrodd]

Never mind, can't seem to ship to Belgium. Any way to resolve this issue?

[@YoshimuraUSA]

@@Techrodd We have a distributor there called Technical Touch. They can order for you!

[@MJT-DA]

Amazing!

[@2Timone7]

Sounds great! And it is less expensive than I thought it would be.

[@travelinben1966]

The last thing I need is another bike, but --t I want one of these!

[@YoshimuraUSA]

Yup!

[@Muscle_Training_Power]

I don't know why Yoshimura Japan doesn't sell it. So I bought one made by Yoshimura USA.

[@Fiatmannen1]

stock please

[@atlasone8369]

i love the roar sound... nice vid man....!!

[@YoshimuraUSA]

Thank you!

[@atlasone8369]

you are the man sir!

[@MrPajarito44]

Chulada de Maíz Prieto!! Quiero uno para la mía

[@nonamenomore69]

I like original sound. It's soft and deep felling.

[@alalaska5593]

Stock is the way to go. Keep the money for gas and tires.

[@glennbeiling3580]

Get out of here, Thatcher.

[@abcisteasyas123]

Stock exhaust sounds better imo just a shame it can't look like the yosh pipe but be as quiet as the stock

[@electriceye683]

Anybody make aftermarket headers yet? It would be nice to get them away from the ground as much as possible.

[@VICTORDIAZ-wh4lj]

En donde puedo adquirirlo en ciudad de México lo deseo pa mi caballito ???

[@motorwouter]

Stock sound the best in my opinion 😀

[@winki5036]

what does this exhaust to the performance of the bike in numbers? i dont really need an new exhaust but everything else on my versys x is allready customized so I need something to do XD

[@YoshimuraUSA]

If you look at the dyno graph on this page you can see the perfomance gains. Its quite substantial for a small cc bike! www.yoshimura-rd.com/collections/all/products/kawasaki-versys-x-300-exhaust-system-14360bj520

[@winki5036]

@Calamity the sproket (front & rear), seat, clutch and brake levers, stearingendings, engineguards, tanklock system, navi reck, LED lights in the front, Smart Brake Module, K80 tires and some little parts, i'm going to upload some videos in a few weeks 🙂

[@YoshimuraUSA]

@Calamity nothing!

[@winki5036]

@Calamity i didnt make it faster, it was more important to me to reach 150km/h faster than to beat the speed limit. If you want to get it faster (where I dont see any purpose, cause its fast enough for the highway) it wont work without sacrifyce torque and acceleration.

[@winki5036]

@Calamity i've got your point but bro, thats exactly how you ride this bike. You want top speed with lower RPM? The only thing that you can use instead of power ist power. Maybe 300ccm arent enough for your driving style?

[@GuilhermeLimaPOARS]

Btw: does it need to do some fuel injection adjustment after installing this pipe?

[@YoshimuraUSA]

Doesn't require it.

[@JamieBPearson9034]

The title says RS-4, but the caption at the beginning says R-77. Are they the same thing?

[@YoshimuraUSA]

Its an R-77 :)

[@Ershad7]

Hello, Do you have a video with the DB-Killer on to see how it sounds? I believe it has been removed on that one. Thank You.

[@YoshimuraUSA]

We do not have a video, but we make multiple Sound inserts that will make it quieter.

[@AVH1164]

I don't understand what is the problem with the stock sound. The exhaust is the last thing I would change on my bike. (The fist was the seat.) I also don't understand why people think the only way to get attention is being louder. But that is a different story.

[@YoshimuraUSA]

It's not just about the sound, our R-77 slip on system provides more power and torque for the 296cc twin cylinder engine.

[@luisalbertoecheverrirodrig2594]

@@YoshimuraUSA How many hp more? And how torque more?....5hp i believe or how many more

[@Brandtalones]

@@YoshimuraUSA Hello... Is this mod a thing unto itself or is it necessarily paired with intake fiddlings? Fenks...

[@slamboy66]

Stock sounds better

[@p.istaker8862]

What does this do to the fuel/ignition map? And stock is an ingredient used in cooking.

[@YoshimuraUSA]

All of our systems are designed to work with stock settings. The ECU compensates for our slip-on.

[@panchitaenmoto2606]

Yoshimura in Vstrom 250 sound ?? 👀

[@YoshimuraUSA]

LOL!

[@VICTORDIAZ-wh4lj]

Alguien q lo venda me interesa adquirirlo ........soy de ciudad de mexico .

Small engines and loud pipes doesn't work for me..

[@YoshimuraUSA]

Neither does it work for us.

[@jorgev.9229]

El original papito el original.!

[@googleuser2082]

Call me nuts but I actually prefer the stock pipe

[@trdadam2325]

Google User your nuts ! lol

[@SleepyPanda-DougBurbidge]

You're*

[@TheGeoShocker]

Me too. I guess after years of being so used to the sound of the aftermarket exhausts on my Versys 650 and Ninja 650, the stock sound on my Versys 250 is refreshing.

[@KF1]

No offense but the stock exhaust sounds cleaner, more refined. The aftermarket sounds like teenagers yelling

[@YoshimuraUSA]

Its gotta breath to make more power and torque. This 300 needs both!

[@BlueRidgeKat1]

The more I see this bike the less I understand it. It's obviously street oriented but they put spoke wheels and tires with tubes on it. If you do go off road you can't turn the ABS off.

[@YoshimuraUSA]

That's a good question for Kawasaki...

[@jorgev.9229]

Con ese escape la cagaron pobre kawa.

[@01TonyPayne]

stock for me

[@NickVetter]

Sounds like a weed whacker with the second one. Prefer the stock

[@saddamcastillo6967]

no entiendo porque hicieron la curva del escape asi??
