At Max Torque Cans, we have been manufacturing performance exhausts since 2001, and every single one leaves our Burscough factory built to the highest possible standard. The kawasaki versys se klz1000 2020- performance motorbike road-legal/race exhaust is no exception. We only ever use premium-grade materials, and every component is hand-selected, hand-formed, and hand-finished by our experienced team of craftspeople. This is not an off-the-shelf silencer — it is a bespoke piece of engineering, made specifically for your machine.

• Stainless Steel Grade T304 and T409 — corrosion-resistant, durable, and beautifully finished
• Titanium Grade 2 and 3 mill finish — lightweight and strong with stunning heat-induced colouring
• Carbon Fibre 4×4 twill prepreg, autoclave cured and foil-lined — the pinnacle of lightweight performance aesthetics

All exhausts are assembled using stainless gas-tight rivets to ensure a secure, rattle-free fit for the life of the can. When you invest in a kawasaki versys se klz1000 2020- performance motorbike road-legal/race exhaust, you are investing in something that is genuinely built to last.

What’s Included with Your Kawasaki Versys SE KLZ1000 2020- Performance Motorbike Road-Legal/Race Exhaust

We want fitting your new performance can to be as straightforward as possible. That is why every kawasaki versys se klz1000 2020- performance motorbike road-legal/race exhaust order comes complete with everything you need to bolt straight onto the standard OEM downpipes. No hunting for extra parts, no trips to the hardware shop — just everything included, ready to fit.

Your order includes:

• 1 x Stainless Steel 304 CNC Mandrel-Bent Link Pipe — precision-formed for a perfect fit to your KLZ1000’s OEM downpipes
• 1 x Stainless Exhaust Strap — securely mounts the can to the bike’s subframe
• 1 x Exhaust Strap Rubber — provides vibration dampening and protects paintwork

The mandrel-bent link pipe is a particularly important detail. Unlike crush-bent pipes, a CNC mandrel-bent pipe maintains a smooth, consistent internal diameter throughout every curve, which means unrestricted gas flow, maximum performance gains, and no compromise in exhaust velocity. It is exactly the kind of detail that separates a properly engineered performance exhaust from the cheaper alternatives on the market.

Road-Legal or Race — Understanding Your Kawasaki Versys SE KLZ1000 2020- Performance Motorbike Road-Legal/Race Exhaust Options

One of the most practical features of the MTC range is the dual-mode capability. When you select the Road-Legal variant of the kawasaki versys se klz1000 2020- performance motorbike road-legal/race exhaust, your can will arrive with full BSAU (British Road-Legal) markings stamped on the body, and it will include a removable road-legal baffle — sometimes called a DB Killer or Decibel Killer. With the baffle fitted, the exhaust is fully compliant for road use, giving you a deeper, more rewarding tone while remaining within legal noise limits.

When you want to unleash the full potential of your KLZ1000 — on a track day or a closed circuit — simply unbolt the baffle and the can switches into full Race mode. The transformation in sound and performance is remarkable. You get the raw, unrestricted exhaust note that the Versys SE’s engine was always capable of producing.

If you select the Race-only option, your exhaust will arrive without BSAU markings and without a baffle fitted — ideal for dedicated track machines or off-road use where road-legal compliance is not required.

Please note: Replacement and additional Removable Baffles (DB Killers) can be purchased separately — please get in touch with us directly for more information.

Fitment Notes for the Kawasaki Versys SE KLZ1000 2020- Performance Motorbike Road-Legal/Race Exhaust

The kawasaki versys se klz1000 2020- performance motorbike road-legal/race exhaust is designed to fit the Kawasaki Versys SE KLZ1000 from 2020 onwards. The link pipe connects directly to the standard OEM downpipes, meaning no modifications to your headers are required. The entire fitting process is straightforward enough for a competent home mechanic, though we always recommend having new exhaust gaskets to hand when completing the installation. Ensure all fastenings are torqued correctly and allow the exhaust to heat cycle a couple of times before checking all fixings again.

MTC exhausts are manufactured to deliver maximum power gains without the need to alter the fuelling on your bike. However, for riders looking to extract every last bit of performance — particularly those running race mode without a baffle — a professional ECU remap is always worth considering to complement the freer-flowing exhaust.

We have an extensive catalogue of shapes and styles available for the KLZ1000 and many other models, so if you are looking for something specific — a particular outlet style, a different can shape, or a custom finish — please message us before purchasing and our team will be happy to discuss your options.
