DescriptionThe whole story▼
Ninety-eight decibels at 7,500 rpm. Spark developed this configuration together with Kawasaki Germany for events that enforce the strictest noise limit in European club racing — the one that turns most aftermarket exhausts away at the gate.
Key Features
- Racing full system for the Kawasaki ZX-4RR.
- Developed with Kawasaki Germany to stay within 98 dB at 7,500 rpm.
- Force Evo silencer in the 400 mm configuration.
- Two dedicated dB killers supplied.
- AISI 304 stainless 4-2-1 manifold with CNC-machined connections.
- 4.9 kg against 9.4 kg for the standard system.
Built to 98, Not Tuned Down to It
There is a difference between an exhaust that happens to measure quietly and one designed against a number. Spark lists three other configurations for this motorcycle at 105 dB, at the British championship limit, and with no limit at all. This is the fourth, and the only one built for 98.
Two things get it there: the longer 400 mm case, which gives the packing more volume to work with, and the two dedicated dB killers that come with the system rather than as an accessory. Neither is optional if the number is the point.
Why Kawasaki Germany
The IDM and the German club series run to 98 dB, and a manufacturer importer has a direct interest in customers being able to race the bike it sells them. Spark's page calls this the IDM version, and the cooperation is stated on the article rather than implied.
For a rider entering those events, that is the useful part: the system exists because someone had to make the numbers work in that specific rulebook.
Under the Silencer
The manifold is AISI 304 stainless in a 4-2-1 layout, with diameters and tapers Spark designed and tested rather than carried over. The connections are machined from solid on a CNC, and the compensators are sized rather than standard — Spark attributes both to its Superbike and Moto2 work.
The result is 4.9 kilos against 9.4 for the standard exhaust: four and a half kilos off a 400 that weighs under 190 wet.
Against the Louder Options
It costs a little more here than the 105 dB Force Evo system and the Konix Evo built to the British limit. You pay a little more for the quieter specification, which is cheap next to a wasted race weekend.
If your events have no static limit, the Grid-O system GKA8851T is the one Spark builds without one.
Installation
Full system: the standard 4-2-1 exhaust comes off entirely. Spark's mounting kit includes the hanger to the chassis for race use and a separate hanger that keeps the passenger footpeg, so the system can be fitted to a standard motorcycle without stripping the rear.
Fitment & Compatibility
Kawasaki ZX-4RR, 2023 to 2026. The 105 dB Force Evo system is GKA8852T, the Konix Evo system GKA8850T and the unrestricted Grid-O system GKA8851T. The 400 mm Force Evo silencer of this system, sold separately, is GKA8855ST.
Road Approval
None. Spark lists this article as not approved. Closed course only — the 98 dB figure is a circuit noise limit, not a road homologation.
