4/5

Do not have excessive expectations for volume and sound quality as it is Japan Government Certificated.

We had been proceeding with customization on the premise that the engine would be large enough to be able to enter Kawasaki Plaza after it became a Kawasaki Care Model, and the engine type would be changed to comply with the exhaust gas regulations, and we were waiting patiently for the release of the Japanese Government Approved Exhaust System. I was waiting patiently for the release of the Japanese Government Approved Exhaust System, but Trickster was the first to start the development and release, so I purchased it as soon as I could place an order on Webike and I was looking forward to the delivery.

The color is available in Yaki Titanium and Black edition, but since the OEM is in Black, I felt that the replacement of the black color would not look as good as it did at first glance, and I thought that the Yaki color would match the 40th anniversary model. We chose Titanium because we felt that the OEM's black color would make it look less like a replacement.

The Gasket used is OEM and enclosed is also OEM. If there is a need for replacement in the future, it will be easy to obtain.

The instruction manual is as simple as removing the OEM and attaching the Trickster's, and that is correct, but it does not mention anything about removing the exhaust device cable, which is necessary to remove the OEMSilencer. I think it would be a good idea to learn how to remove the cable beforehand, as there are many YouTube videos on how to do so.

Also, the torque for tightening bolts is not listed.
The instruction manual for YOSHIMURA's Slip-on Silencer in the previous car mentioned Torque tightening, so I felt that it would be better to improve that area.

Certificate of Exhaust Gas Testing is also included.

Installation can be done without difficulty by following the instructions as long as you have a 10mm or 13mm box, a Glasses wrench, and a spring hook.

I am using an external (WoodStock) exhaust bracket, which is compatible with the OEM exhaust system, so I was able to install the silencer band without any problems.

When I started the engine after the replacement, I found that the sound quality of the Japanese Government Approved Exhaust System was better than that of the Idling Exhaust System, and I felt that some bass sound was added. However, there was almost no change in volume.

After a short test run in town and turning it as far as possible, I did not notice much change in both volume and sound quality through the Helmet.
Also, I did not feel any clear change in driving performance.

I will re-review this area if I notice anything after driving on the mountain passes and Touring.

As the weight of Trickster's Slip-on Silencer was not listed, we inquired with the manufacturer and were told that the weight was 2.2 kg.

The OEM exhaust system weighs 5kg, and the servo motor, which was removed in conjunction with the OEM exhaust system, weighs 0.5kg, resulting in a weight reduction of 3.3kg.

From a design point of view, when installed on the car body, especially on the 40th anniversary model, the connection between the blue part of the Seat Cowl and the exit baking color is good, as originally intended, and the synergistic effect makes it look even cooler.

However, when weighing the satisfaction of the light weight & appearance against the dissatisfaction of the little change in volume and sound quality...

I think it is better not to expect too much from the Japanese Government Approved Exhaust System, so I feel that whether or not you can afford this price as one of the dress-up parts is a criterion for judgment. I think it would be better to consider this carefully. View detail
