I have owned a lot of motorcycles in my life (over 40) and I don’t think I have ever had such pleasure as my Z900rs. I am tempted to put a pipe on it but really the stock pipe sounds amazing and I think it’s probably the best looking for me too. Would like for the cat to be gone to to lose the weight and the appearance of it when your leaned over but Kawasaki did a fantastic job of making this thing sound great and to be legal. Thanks Kawasaki for the pleasure this bike gives me.

saw a video of stock exhaust with cat removed via link pipe, sounded pretty good. Brocks sounds best, but honestly my 2021 rs is awesome in every respect just as it is. Kawasaki nailed it. I'm 63 years young, have owned many bikes, but this one is hands down the BEST.

@supersportimpalass Жыл бұрын
Keeping the stock muffler with the Akropovic header is a great way to improve power and reduce weight while only slightly increasing the volume of the great sounding stock pipe. I’d say the Brock’s is a close tie but it’s a ton of money for what can essentially be done with the Akropovic header especially if you already like the look and sound.

Wonder why anyone would give a thumbs down to this compilation! Anyway, I have never bought an aftermarket exhaust. Have always drilled them out or bashed a spiking tool down the exhaust, needs a lump hammer to get through the baffle plate or plates. Feels like it's going to damage the bolt holding the exhaust in place but I have always been able to undo and check and have never had a problem.

Thae CSR looks exactly like the Yash pipes of the days of the original KZ's. All we had were Yash and Kerker. The kerker sounded more throaty and the Yash sounded more Farrari like. But I'm old and my brain cells are a bit foggy. They still hand bend the Yash if you can afford them . You would truly have a one of a kind though. Thanks for compiling all these. They all sound good,just a little different and 900 times better than any Harley.

Agree...there were a few others as well, Hindle was popular as I recall. In my neck of the woods, Kerker was most popular on Kawasaki bikes and Yoshimura was popular with Suzuki/Honda bikes. Yamaha? I didn't know anyone that had a 'sporty' Yamaha street bike in late '70s/'80s, ha!

Better give it a second thought in Ca to adding any can in this crap hole Libertarian state!! It’s not a ‘fix it ticket ‘ anymore. It’s a moving violation and they can and often do impound your rides. I own an all original ‘83 Honda NIghthawk 650SC with 28,3XX original miles, almost daily. I found a “attic find” brand new Kerker 4into1 with he Original cone. I installed it, rejected it and took to a show to have it all dialed in. Funny thing is the so-called tech says to me, what the hell kind of pipe is this? I laughed and told him the was the “Gold standard” for all 4into1 pipes. He looks at me like I’m half outta my mind. His boss told you better write it down, that guys know his bikes, and well. My 36 yr old Honda still hauls ass and sounds great and for only $263. I only get pulled over cuz the bike is so old and Cops cannot believe I have kept it so clean, and sounds so good. Not too loud, but you know its there.
