Product test: exhaust systems for the Kawasaki Z 1000
Product test: exhaust systems for the Kawasaki Z 1000
Accessory silencer for Kawasaki’s naked bike
Let’s not kid ourselves, the Z 1000 has a lot of pressure ex works. Accessory silencers can only score points in terms of weight, appearance and sound: 14 systems on the test bench and in the sound check.

Series performance achieved – in the case of the exhaust test with the Kawasaki Z 1000 From the MOTORRAD endurance test, this well-hung tuner joke becomes bitter reality: Not a three percent more peak performance in the strongest slip-on system in the test, the majority of the participants bogged down at around one percent increase. After all: No system undercuts the specification of the measured 136.5 PS in the standard trim. However, if you take a closer look at the torque curves, you will find that some systems have to give up in the everyday relevant bottom-center coordination compared to the series curve. A not insignificant point, because this characteristic will be more noticeable than the increase in performance at the top, far beyond 9000 rpm.

The only thing left on the plus side is the weight advantage, which you buy (sometimes very expensive), in the case of the Kawasaki Z 1000 but does not really bring any noticeable driving dynamics advantages. Some test candidates make a big impression on the look. Others, on the other hand, leave behind deep-cutting experiences for the fitter with partly sharp-edged and poorly fitting universal clamps. And that’s really no longer a joke. See and hear test videos on the following pages of this article.

Power: 139 hp
providers
Jamparts

Power: 138 hp

Alpha technique
Telephone: 08036-300720 – www.alphatechnik.de

During the soundcheck, Arrow stays within the legal framework, but leaves a bland impression. The cheap clamp is annoying during assembly.

Weight: 5.1 kg
Power: 138 hp
providers
Spear racing
Telephone: 07121-959395 – www.bosdis-exhaust.com

Weight: 3.6 kg
Power: 138 hp
providers
BOS exhaust
Telephone: 05941-4793 – www.bosauspuff.de

Power: 139 hp
providers
Hostettler
phone: 07631-18040 – www.ixs.com
Conclusion
Devil appeals with its rich, extremely bass-heavy sound, but disappoints in the assembly. The performance plus is okay.

Power: 139 hp
providers
Hostettler
Phone: 07631-18040 – www.ixs.com

Power: 140 hp
providers
Polo express delivery
Phone: 0180-5225785 – www.polo-motorrad.de

Convinced on the test bench and in the sound check, but operates close to legality and too close to the swing arm. Great shape.

Power: 137 hp
providers

phone: 07631-18040 – www.ixs.com

Clean, tailor-made solution from Remus, but can hardly set itself apart from competitors from the same production (Nikko, Sebring).
