I have a question about my bike...

I bought a 1981 KZ 650 and it has a 4 in one header but the exhaust is coming out on the left side

Is this rare?

I have only seen bikes with the exhaust coming out on the right side...here is a pic

left side


right side

I had a left side exhaust on a 1976 900. It was a five piece header and if you took it off you had better number the pieces.

I would say there are rare. i don't see many at all on KZ's

Yours is the first I've seen out to the left on a 4-1. I think you've answered your own question about its rarity. :D

Seems to be more popular over in the UK where they like to ride on the other side of the road.

Rob, are you trying to say they drive on the "wrong" side of the road? :woohoo:
