When you think of muffler systems for the Kawasaki KX450, you think of The Pro Circuit Ti-6 muffler system. I have tested a lot of different mufflers for the KX450, but what does the Pro Circuit system bring to the table for the money? The PC Ti-6 system will set you back $1270.00 and will…
The Kawasaki KX™450 has long been the flagship model in the Kawasaki KX™ lineup of motocross motorcycles and is built with race-winning components to help propel Kawasaki riders to the top step of the podium.
