Exhausts Kawasaki Z1000 (no SX) 2010-2016

With the 2010 generation the Z1000 makes a sharp stylistic leap: Kawasaki's design becomes more extreme, with cut surfaces and volumes that openly reference the world of competition motorcycles. The 1043 cc inline four-cylinder - a displacement increase over the previous series - is redesigned internally to improve power delivery across the entire rev range. From 2010 to 2016 this Z1000 dominated the large-displacement sports naked segment in Europe, building a solid reputation both dynamically and aesthetically. For those looking to work on the exhaust system of this version, the handmade exhausts for Kawasaki in our range include solutions designed specifically for this generation.

The Z1000 2010-2016 features a configuration with twin silencers in lateral position, right and left. Our sports exhaust silencers are designed to replace both original mufflers, leaving the standard headers and connections unchanged. Mounting uses the motorcycle's original fittings without structural modifications, and the kit includes all the hardware necessary for the installation of both silencers. We recommend entrusting the fitting to a qualified mechanic to ensure a correct and symmetrical result on both sides.

For this application, a choice of silencer sleeve length is available: 285 mm or 400 mm. The 285 mm version offers a compact solution with a reduced footprint and a profile that integrates consistently with the motorcycle's sporting design on both sides. The 400 mm version has a more pronounced visual presence and greater internal volume, factors that can influence the overall sound output of the pair of silencers. Both lengths can be selected directly from the drop-down menu on the product page, alongside the other configuration options.

Replacing both original silencers on a motorcycle like this produces a significant overall weight reduction: the pair of standard mufflers weighs considerably, and the weight saving with our sports exhausts is tangible and noticeable. The acoustic tone improves in definition and body, with a more assertive character that enhances the nature of the inline four-cylinder in the twin lateral outlet configuration. In terms of engine response, more efficient exhaust gas flow management across both outlets can favour a smoother power delivery and make throttle response more direct under certain riding conditions.

Every pair of exhausts is handmade in Lombardy, in the province of Bergamo, to order. Each individual piece undergoes a quality check before dispatch. Sold directly, with no intermediaries: the people who answer you know these exhausts inside out.

Every silencer comes with a standard dB killer included in the kit. Its removal invalidates the product's homologation and is not officially supported. For those who use the motorcycle in contexts where noise containment is a priority - daily routes, residential areas, situations with sound restrictions - the No-Noise option is available: an internally welded filter that further reduces the sound level without significantly affecting the characteristics of the silencers. It can be selected on the product page alongside the sleeve length.

As this involves only the replacement of the silencers, the Z1000's ECU does not normally require any remapping. The original system remains in its standard configuration and the modification is contained enough not to cause any electronic issues.

Updated production lead times are always visible at checkout. Once dispatched, you will automatically receive a tracking code to follow your delivery.
