The AISI 304 stainless steel construction provides durability while keeping overall system weight low.

The reduced weight and improved performance complement the responsive character of Yamaha's CP3 engine.

Classic Racing Inspiration

The exhaust's styling takes inspiration from the two-stroke racing machines that helped establish Yamaha's motorsport reputation.

Its black-finished silencer and purposeful design complement the XSR900 GP's retro Grand Prix appearance.

Distinctive ZARD Racing Sound

The decatalysed racing system produces a more aggressive exhaust note, delivering the unmistakable character associated with ZARD performance exhausts.

Optional UpMap ECU

A dedicated ZARD UpMap ECU solution is available separately for compatible Euro 5+ models.

It is designed to:

• Optimise engine performance

• Improve throttle response

• Address the catalytic converter warning light associated with removing the original catalytic converter

Important: On Euro 5+ motorcycles, installation of the decatalysed exhaust can trigger an engine warning light due to the factory catalytic converter monitoring system.

Appropriate ECU remapping is required to prevent this warning light.

The UpMap solution is not included with the exhaust system unless specifically stated.
