That is a larger gain than the full-power Z900 header delivers, and it happens because the restriction on the A2 version is partly physical — Kawasaki does not only reprogram the ECU.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9.4 PS more at 9,500 rpm, peak output rising from 87.4 to 92.2 PS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5.0 Nm more at 6,600 rpm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.35 kg against the standard 7.38 kg: 4.03 kg and 54.6 per cent less\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeveloped and measured on the Z900 A2 version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with any Slip-On Line for this machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSixty minutes to fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo road approval — circuit use only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRead This Before You Order\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis header has no road approval, and on an A2-registered motorcycle that matters twice over. Removing the catalytic converter ends the type approval, and raising the output of a machine registered in a restricted power class is a separate problem again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a part for a Z900 A2 used on a circuit. On a road-registered A2 bike it is not a legal modification, and no amount of paperwork will make it one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy an A2 Bike Gains More\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKawasaki restricts the Z900 A2 to 70 kW through a combination of mapping and hardware, and the standard exhaust is part of that combination. Opening it recovers more than it would on a machine that was never held back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether that is useful depends entirely on where the motorcycle is ridden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFour Kilograms\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe weight saving is the part that applies regardless. 4.03 kg out of the lowest, most central position on the bike, on a machine often ridden by someone still building confidence — that is a genuine improvement and it does not depend on the power figures at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSix Model Years\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe A2 Z900 ran from 2018 to 2023 with the same exhaust interface throughout, which is one year longer than the full-power first generation. One part number covers all of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAny Slip-On for the A2\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkrapovic states this header works with any Slip-On Line built for the Z900 A2. If a silencer is already on the bike, the header is the only purchase left to make a complete system — and it is the part that does the real work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFour Kilograms on a Restricted Bike\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe A2 Z900 weighs the same as the full-power machine — Kawasaki restricts the output, not the mass. So a rider on a restricted licence is moving 212 kg with 95 PS, and 4.03 kg off the lowest part of it is proportionally the more useful change of the two this header offers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSixty Minutes on a Lift\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe A2 machine shares its chassis with the full-power Z900 of the same years, so the work is identical: the header comes out from below with the belly section clear, and nothing at the front of the motorcycle has to be dismantled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eE-K9R5 covers the Kawasaki Z900 A2 version from 2018 through 2023.
