This Akrapovic slip-on is certified to it — which is what makes it a legal upgrade for a bike that many riders buy on an A2 licence and cannot afford to put out of compliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.8 kg against the standard 4.12 kg: 1.3 kg and 32 per cent less\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly designed titanium muffler with an imprinted surface, which adds strength and durability rather than only appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTitanium outer sleeve, carbon fibre end cap, high-grade stainless steel link pipe, inner structure and heat shield\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertified to EC and ECE type approval under Euro 5+, the regulation in force from 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.4 PS at 8,750 rpm and 0.3 Nm at 5,000 rpm, measured against the standard system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise insert included, installation about 30 minutes with no remapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional carbon heat shield and optional header available for a further step\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEuro 5+ and Why It Is Named\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEuro 5 was valid until 31 December 2023. From 2024 onward new machines and their replacement parts fall under Euro 5+, and a silencer certified only to the older standard is not a legal replacement on a bike homologated to the newer one. Akrapovic states the certification explicitly for this part, and so does this page — on an A2-class machine that will meet an inspection, that distinction is worth having in writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne consequence to know: the optional header is available and will add power and a racing tone, but fitting it invalidates the EC and ECE type approval of the silencer. On a road bike, the slip-on alone is the configuration that stays legal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat 1.3 Kilograms Means Here\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Ninja 500 weighs 171 kg wet. Removing 1.3 kg from the silencer is close to one per cent of the whole motorcycle, and it comes off the highest and furthest-back point — the place where a rider learning to ride quickly notices weight most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe measured performance gains are small and stated as measured: 0.4 PS and 0.3 Nm on a 44 PS parallel twin. The reasons to fit this are the weight, the finish and the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eS-K5SO1-HRT covers the Kawasaki Ninja 500 and the Z500 from model year 2024 through 2026.
