Watch this exclusive MCN video below to see the fitting of a full Akrapovic exhaust to my long term test Kawasaki Z1000, which not only dropped loads of weight off the bike but also gave another 11bhp.

The Kawasaki Z1000's stock exhausts are the only 'Marmite' part of the bike, judging by MCN readers' comments, which range from 'distinctive' to 'minging'.

But love 'em or hate 'em, you can't get away from the fact they are bloody heavy. Just how heavy was revealed when I took the bike to Dave Cooper Racing in Kettering (01536-519200).

  • I have a 2003 Z1K stock except for the airbox mod and better filter.

    I'm 6', 230 lbs, my BMI indicates that my proper weight should be 175-190.

    2 years ago I was 255 and went down to 214. Not only did the performance of the Z improved dramatically but the Booty Factor

    hit the sky. What the Z1K needs is better suspension (ZX6R or Traxxion), and a sensible diet and exercise regime from the rider. Wanna make the bike lighter and faster? Start with yourself first. Cheap hp and good looks, HE HE.

  • 123 Brake HP at the wheel. What a redundant statement.

  • Can an average man with only slight knowledge of motorcycles put such a full exhaust system on a bike?

  • 5 people still have the stock exhaust shoved up their ass.

  • I would have liked to have seen a dyno run with the baffle taken out? perhaps next time?

  • how muts does this cost fore a yamaha yzf-r125 2010 modle? full exhoust
