DescriptionThe whole story▼
Four point seven horsepower at 6,050 rpm on a 67 PS V-twin — seven per cent, and it arrives in the middle of the range rather than at the top. On a V-Strom that is the whole usable band.
Key Features
- 4.7 PS more at 6,050 rpm, peak output rising from 67.5 to 72.1 PS
- 1.9 Nm more at 4,700 rpm
- 3.6 kg against the standard 7.8 kg: 4.2 kg and 53.8 per cent less
- Complete system with a titanium muffler outer sleeve
- Thirty minutes to fit — short for a full system
- No road approval — circuit use only
Thirty Minutes for a Complete System
Most Racing Lines take an hour or more because the headers have to come off the cylinder head. Suzuki's 645 cc V-twin puts both ports where a spanner reaches them, and the V-Strom has no fairing over the engine to remove first. Half an hour is realistic.
That is genuinely unusual: a complete exhaust fitted in the time most slip-ons take.
A Track Part on a Touring Bike
This system has no road approval, which sits oddly with a V-Strom. The honest reading is that Akrapovic builds it for owners who use the bike on closed roads or trackdays, or who accept the legal position knowingly.
If you want a road-legal exhaust for a V-Strom 650, this is not it, and no insert or paperwork will change that. The catalytic converter is part of what comes off.
Where the Weight Sits
4.2 kg from a machine that carries luggage and often a passenger is not going to transform the handling. What it does change is what happens when the bike is lifted onto its side stand on soft ground, or picked up after a slow drop — the standard silencer is one of the heaviest single parts on the right-hand side.
The Engine Behind It
The V-Strom 650's 645 cc V-twin is one of the longest-serving engines in motorcycling, shared in a different tune with the SV650. It is a design with nothing to prove and very little to gain from tuning — which makes 4.7 PS a larger proportion than it looks.
Not the 800
Suzuki replaced the V-Strom 650 with the 800DE, which uses a completely different parallel twin. This system covers the 650 only, from 2017 to 2024. If you are unsure which generation you have, the 650's engine is a V-twin and the 800's is not — that alone settles it.
Eight Model Years Without a Change
Suzuki left the V-Strom 650's exhaust route alone from 2017 to 2024, through the 2017 restyle and the Euro 5 update. One part number for eight model years is a sign of a settled design rather than a neglected one.
