This document provides installation instructions for the LeoVince LV PRO / LV PRO CARBON slip-on exhaust, compatible with Kawasaki Z900 and Z900 A2 models (including 35kW and 70kW versions). The installation requires basic mechanical skills. Always ensure the exhaust system is completely cool before starting work to prevent burns or damage to heat-sensitive components.
Installation
- Remove the original OE silencer.
- Check that the mating surfaces are clean. Slide the new link pipe onto the original header. Important: You must remove the original graphite bushing before assembling the LeoVince link pipe.
- Partially tighten the securing strap to allow for adjustments.
- Slide the LeoVince silencer onto the link pipe. Check the alignment of the mounting eyes for the springs and the exhaust outlet.
- Connect the parts using the provided springs.
- Fit the clamps to the silencer. Mount spacers, washers, and brackets as shown in the product diagram.
- Tighten all nuts and bolts securely.
- Start the engine, wait a few minutes for it to reach operating temperature, and check for any gas leaks.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity of your exhaust system, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Check fasteners: After the first 100 km, check all brackets and fasteners, as the exhaust system needs breaking-in and may require re-tightening.
- Cleaning: The silencer may be cleaned using gasoline, diesel oil, or alcohol. Do not use any solvents.
- Inspection: Periodically check all brackets, fasteners, and rubber parts for wear and replace them if necessary.
- Discoloration: A change in the color of the silencer is normal due to heat and the nature of the materials used.
Important warnings
- White smoke: It is normal for some white smoke to appear the first time you use the exhaust, even after switching off the engine.
- Gas leaks: Slight gas leakage might occur during the initial break-in period.
- Modifications: It is strictly forbidden to modify the silencer. Any modification voids the manufacturer's responsibility.
- Professional installation: We suggest the fitting be made by professionals.
