Care & Cleaning

Keep system free of dirt and moisture. Store in a cool, dry place. Make sure vehicle is completely cool before maintenance.

Stainless Header System:

after a few heat cycles, this is a normal characteristic of high quality stainless steel. Clean using a mild water based spray cleaner. Always apply cleaner or polish with a soft, clean cloth.

Titanium Header System:

from deep blue/purple through amber after a few heat cycles. This is a normal characteristic of high quality titanium. Clean using a mild water based spray cleaner. Always apply cleaner or polish with a soft, clean cloth.

Polished Aluminum Canisters:

bright ﬁnish to factory spec.

Brushed Aluminum Canisters:

apply cleaner or polish with a soft, clean cloth.

Carbon Fiber Canisters:

cleaner or polish with a soft, clean cloth. Always make sure the ﬁberglass packing inside is in good condition and not burned out, as exhaust heat inside an empty canister will deteriorate the carbon ﬁber sleeve. TBR sells repack kits (Road - #005-10 038, Offroad - #005-10038MX) that include everything you need to easily do it yourself.

Titanium Mufﬂers:

Repack all road canisters every 3,000 miles. Part #005-10038 Repack all offroad canisters after every 10 hours of use. Part #005-10038MX

NEVER dyno test your bike with carbon ﬁber or titanium canisters installed - the intense heat and lack of cooling air can quickly burn through the canister material. Two Brothers Racing does not provide a warranty for burned canisters.
