Why the Kawasaki Versys SE KLZ1000 2020- Performance Motorbike Road-Legal/Race Exhaust Stands Apart

At Max Torque Cans, we have documented over 10,500 completed jobs in our Flickr gallery, proving our commitment to quality and performance. The kawasaki versys se klz1000 2020- performance motorbike road-legal/race exhaust is not an off-the-shelf silencer mass-produced overseas. This is a bespoke piece of engineering, made specifically for your machine using only premium-grade materials.

We manufacture using Stainless Steel Grade T304 and T409 for exceptional corrosion resistance and durability, Titanium Grade 2 and 3 mill finish for lightweight strength with stunning heat-induced colouring, and Carbon Fibre 4×4 twill prepreg that is autoclave cured and foil-lined for 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 this performance exhaust, you are investing in something genuinely built to last.

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

We understand that fitting your new performance can should be straightforward, which is why every kawasaki versys se klz1000 2020- performance motorbike road-legal/race exhaust order arrives 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 a complete fitting kit ready to install.

Your order includes one Stainless Steel 304 CNC Mandrel-Bent Link Pipe that is precision-formed for a perfect fit to your KLZ1000’s OEM downpipes, one stainless exhaust strap that securely mounts the can to the bike’s subframe, and one exhaust strap rubber that provides vibration dampening and protects your paintwork. The mandrel-bent link pipe is a particularly important detail that separates properly engineered performance exhausts from cheaper alternatives.

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.

Road-Legal or Race Mode: Understanding Your 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 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 as defined by the Vehicle Certification Agency. When you want to unleash the full potential of your KLZ1000 on a track day or closed circuit, simply unbolt the baffle and the can switches into full Race mode.

The transformation in sound and performance is remarkable, delivering 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.

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 in our full range, 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.
