I've had the ZARD Full Kit 3‑in‑1 Exhaust on my 2018 Yamaha XSR 900 for a few weeks now, and I'm genuinely blown away.

From the first glance, its craftsmanship stands out—every piece is meticulously handcrafted in Italy, featuring top-tier AISI‑304 stainless steel combined with a sleek carbon-fiber end cap. Everything is bonded with hand-finished TIG/MIG‑MAG welds that speak volumes about the build quality.
One of the most noticeable upgrades is the dramatic weight loss: flashing it on the scales, it came in at just 3.8 kg—a full 4.7 kg lighter than the stock kit. The result? My XSR feels noticeably more nimble, sharper through corners, and quicker off the line
Riding around the city, the new exhaust delivers a rich, engaging growl—it’s bold without ever being overbearing. Choosing the racing version with the removable DB-killer gave me that authentic throttle bark when I want it, with the flexibility to tone it down when needed.
Installation was straightforward. The fit followed OEM specs flawlessly, and I didn’t need any ECU remapping or tuning to enjoy a more responsive throttle and livelier mid-range pull.
If you're after both performance and elegance, this exhaust is a no-brainer. It transforms the bike from refined retro to bold and exhilarating—with a touch of true Italian flair. Highly recommended for any XSR 900 owner who wants more than just a cosmetic upgrade.

I finally got around to installing the ZARD Exhaust Full Kit on my 2018 Yamaha XSR 900, and I have to say—it completely transforms the bike.

First off, the craftsmanship is exceptional. This system is handcrafted in Italy using AISI 304 stainless steel, with TIG/MIG welds that look flawless—and a sleek carbon‑fiber end cap that gives a premium, race‑ready look. The kit is also impressively lightweight at about 3.8 kg, shaving off approximately 4.7 kg compared to the stock exhaust, which makes the bike feel more agile and nimble.
Performance-wise, the difference is night and day. Throttle response is noticeably sharper, the acceleration feels more immediate, and the bike now pulls effortlessly through every RPM. Additionally, according to sources from Performance Parts Ltd, the system is even optimized for a +6 bhp gain and produces that deep, signature ZARD tone that turns heads without being obnoxiously loud. Installation was smooth—no remapping needed—and I appreciate the flexibility of choosing between the Euro‑4 (street-legal) version and the race version with a removable DB-killer. In short: This isn’t just an aesthetic upgrade—it’s a functional, well-engineered enhancement that gives your XSR 900 athletic handling, improved power delivery, and a refined exhaust note that hits the right balance between growl and sophistication. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to boost both form and function.

I've been riding my 2018 Yamaha XSR 900 for a few years now, and adding the ZARD Full Kit Exhaust was easily one of the best upgrades I've made. The build quality is absolutely top-notch—solid welds, premium materials, and a sleek design that complements the XSR’s retro-modern style perfectly.

Performance-wise, the difference is immediately noticeable. Throttle response feels sharper, and there's a smoother power delivery throughout the rev range. The sound is aggressive without being obnoxious—deep, throaty, and just loud enough to turn heads without annoying the neighbors.

Installation was straightforward with clear instructions. I’m no professional mechanic, but with a little patience, I had it fitted in under two hours.

If you're looking to give your XSR 900 both a performance and aesthetic boost, the ZARD Full Kit is absolutely worth the investment. Highly recommended.
