Roadsitalia Exhaust
The Versys 650 is Kawasaki's adventure-touring proposal in the middle class: a 649 cc parallel-twin in a chassis designed for mixed use, with a raised riding position, long-travel suspension and a general setup that prioritises versatility on the road. It is not a track bike nor a tourer built for long motorway transfers — it is a genuine road motorcycle, equally capable of handling urban traffic, main roads and more demanding routes. Over successive generations it has progressively refined its electronics and comfort, while maintaining the same fundamental philosophy. All our exhausts for this model are part of the scarichi per Kawasaki range.
This section brings together all the exhausts we produce for the Versys 650, organised by generation. The configuration varies depending on the version: for the 2006-2011 series we produce a sports silencer with link pipe, which pairs with the original header; for the 2018-2020, 2021-2023 and 2023- series we produce full exhaust systems, replacing the entire exhaust line from the engine outlet to the muffler. This difference reflects the different architectures of the original exhaust system across the various generations. In all cases the fitting kit is included and the products are designed to connect to the original mounting points without structural modifications. Installation by a qualified mechanic is recommended. Below this description you will find the subcategories dedicated to the individual year-specific versions: that is where you will find technical details, photos and configuration options specific to each series.
Upgrading the original exhaust brings concrete benefits regardless of the version. Weight reduction is the first measurable advantage: standard exhausts are sized to comply with mass-market homologation regulations, which results in heavier components than necessary. An aftermarket exhaust noticeably lightens the rear of the motorcycle, with positive effects on agility and overall handling. The parallel-twin's power delivery becomes cleaner and more progressive, with a more direct throttle response. The sound changes markedly: more defined and fuller than standard, without being excessive. From an aesthetic standpoint, the sports silencer significantly transforms the rear of the motorcycle.
Our exhausts are manufactured through handcrafted manufacturing in Lombardy, in the province of Bergamo. Each product is put into production at the time of order, with an internal quality control carried out before shipping. Direct from the manufacturer sales allow a direct relationship with the people who designed and built the product, without intermediaries.
The catalytic converter is available as an optional for all versions. Selecting the catalysed version on the product page provides full homologation for use on public roads in compliance with current regulations. The non-catalysed version is intended exclusively for use on private roads or on track, where permitted.
The 2023- version is fitted with two lambda sensors. Those who choose not to install the catalytic converter should be aware that the MIL warning light will certainly come on: without the catalytic converter the second lambda sensor does not receive the parameters expected by the ECU and generates fault code P0420. To manage this situation the AMC Automatic MIL Clear is available, which handles the MIL warning light without intervening on engine parameters or power delivery. It is available in the section ECUs, OBD II diagnostics and lambda kits.
The dB killer is included as standard with all products. Its removal invalidates the road homologation. For those who need further noise reduction, the No-Noise version is available on the 2018-2020, 2021-2023 and 2023- series, featuring an internally welded filter that reduces decibels without significantly affecting performance. When available, it can be selected directly on the product page.
After installation it is normal for the ECU to go through a brief adaptation phase: minor variations in power delivery during the first kilometres are part of the normal self-learning process. Under normal conditions, ECU remapping is not required.
Updated production lead times are always visible during checkout, before order confirmation. Tracking information is sent automatically at the time of shipment. For any questions, you can consult the FAQ section or contact us via the Contact page or chat.
To find the right product for your Versys 650, simply select the subcategory corresponding to your motorcycle's year of production from those listed below this description. Differences between products in the list are mainly aesthetic: silencer shape, material and surface finish. The catalytic converter and No-Noise dB killer, when available, can be selected from the dropdown menu on the product page, where you can also view detailed photos and complete technical specifications before proceeding with your configuration.
