Yoshimura introduces new slip-on exhaust for Kawasaki Versys X300

The company claims an increase in horsepower as well as torque, but an exact output gain has not been specified.

The new slip-on exhaust system by Yoshimura for the Kawasaki X300 is claimed to be 1.81 kg lighter than the stock unit. The R-77 street exhaust for the Kawasaki Versys X300 gets Yoshimura's Works Finish and has a stainless-steel laser etched heat shield. The exhaust is manufactured in the USA and also boosts up the exhaust note significantly.

In stock form, the Kawasaki Versys X300 is powered by a 296 cc parallel twin mill which traces its origins to the Kawasaki Ninja 300. Coupled to a 6-speed gearbox, the engine is capable of producing 39 PS of maximum power at 11,000 rpm and 27 Nm of peak torque at 10,000 rpm.

The Kawasaki Versys X300 gets a slipper clutch, ABS, 41 mm telescopic fork up front and a uni-track monoshock in the rear. The stock bike weighs 175 kg and the lighter slip-on exhaust along with the performance boost will help the bike emerge peppier.

The Yoshimura R-77 street slip-on exhaust for the Kawasaki Versys X300 has been priced at USD 459.
