When I fitted the ZARD Homologated Full Kit on my 2020 Yamaha XSR700, I honestly couldn’t believe how transformative it was. First off, the craftsmanship is impeccable—this 2‑in‑1 system is entirely handcrafted in Italy, built from AISI 304 stainless steel with options for a stainless steel or carbon fiber end cap, and available in satin or black finishes
The difference in weight is staggering: the stock exhaust sits at around 8 kg, while the ZARD kit weighs just 3.7 kg, giving you a 4.3 kg weight reduction. On the road, that translates into noticeably sharper handling and the bike feels much more agile
What really won me over was the sound—deep, resonant, and satisfying but never obnoxious. It delivers that rich tone you crave while staying Euro 4/5 homologated, so it remains fully street-legal—a rare combo of attitude and compliance
In terms of performance, throttle response throughout the mid and upper RPM bands felt livelier immediately after installation. It’s still plug-and-play, no ECU remapping needed, and the bike felt more eager to rev without sacrificing reliability
Putting it on was straightforward, and you can feel the artistry in the TIG/MIG‑MAG welds—it’s clear this kit is as much about aesthetics as it is about performance

I couldn’t be more impressed with the ZARD Exhaust Homologated Full Kit fitted to my 2019 Yamaha XSR700. From the moment I laid eyes on the Italian craftsmanship in person, it was clear this isn’t just another after-market part—it’s pure art. The structure and sleeve are crafted from high-quality AISI 304 stainless steel, and I opted for the carbon fiber end cap in satin black—it gives the bike an aggressive yet refined look.
Swapping out my bulky stock system (weighing around 8 kg) for this sleek 3.7 kg kit gave me an instant feeling of nimbleness—losing about 4.3 kg makes a noticeable difference in handling and agility.
The sound is equally transformative: deep, resonant, with just the right tone—not overly loud, but emotionally rich—perfectly euro‑legal thanks to its Euro 4/5 homologation. No risk of fines, just pure riding excitement.
Performance-wise, throttle response across mid to high RPMs felt sharper and more eager. I didn’t touch any ECU tuning (none was needed), yet the bike feels more alive and responsive on every twist of the wrist.
Installation was surprisingly straightforward and completely plug-and-play. The craftsmanship is evident in every weld—TIG/MIG-MAG by skilled technicians—which translates into something you feel right away.

As someone who values both style and substance, I couldn’t be happier with my decision to upgrade my 2021 Yamaha XSR700 with the ZARD Homologated Full Kit. Right out of the box, the craftsmanship is unmistakable—this isn’t just an exhaust, it’s a statement. The structure and sleeve are made from high-grade AISI 304 stainless steel, and I opted for the carbon fiber end cap in matte black—sleek, aggressive, and undeniably premium-looking
I was stunned by the weight reduction—dropping from roughly 8 kg (factory system) to a mere 3.7 kg equates to losing over 4 kg—and while that might not sound dramatic on paper, it translates into noticeably sharper handling and agility on real-world rides
Installation was plug-and-play; I didn’t need any special tools or ECU tuning. Once on, the engine’s response felt crisper, and the throttle came alive, especially through those mid-range gears
Best part? Despite the more robust, throaty note, it remains fully street‑legal thanks to its Euro 4/5 homologation—so I get an exhilarating soundtrack without risking a ticket
In short: this kit strikes the perfect harmony between Italian elegance, performance gains, and everyday legality. My XSR700 not only looks and sounds sharper—it simply feels more alive. Highly recommended!"

I recently installed the ZARD Full Kit Homologated Exhaust on my 2020 Yamaha XSR700, and I’m absolutely blown away. From the moment I fired it up, the difference in sound was night and day. It’s got a deep, throaty growl now without being obnoxious—perfectly street-legal and still aggressive enough to turn heads.

Performance-wise, there’s a noticeable improvement in throttle response and mid-range torque. The bike feels more alive and eager, especially during spirited riding through twisties. Installation was straightforward, and everything fit like a glove. The build quality is outstanding—clean welds, lightweight materials, and that unmistakable Italian craftsmanship.

If you're looking to enhance your XSR700’s character without compromising on street legality, this exhaust is the way to go. Highly recommend it to any fellow riders looking to upgrade.
