Installation Instructions

1. Make sure the bike is completely cool before starting the installation. Make sure the bike is secure on the sidestand or
ideally a service lift.

2. Remove the stock exhaust canister by removing the mounting hardware at the passenger footpeg bracket and loosening
the clamp located at the canister/header junction. Remove the stock exhaust canister at this point. Remove the OEM
gasket. This will be re-used.

3. Install the slip-on tubes using the supplied high-temp sealant and barrel clamp.

4. Install VALE adapter kit using the supplied kit instructions.

5. Place a bead of the hi-temp sealant on the outside edge of the s-bend that goes into the canister. Slide the TBR canister
onto the end of the S-bend pipe. Wipe off the excess sealant that will squeeze out.

6. Carefully slide the muffler clamp over the muffler. (Note: The stainless steel canister clamp and the name badge on the
canister come from the factory with a clear plastic protective film. Please remove this film before operation.) Attach it to
the footpeg bracket using the stock hardware. Leave loose for now.

7. Make sure everything is aligned and tighten all hardware. Affix the two connector springs to the muffler.

8. Repeat Steps 2-6 on the opposite side.

9. Remove the side stand stop from the stock left side exhaust canister and install onto the TBR left side S-bend.

10. Before you run the bike, clean off all fingerprints and dirt, as any oily residue will etch the metal and become somewhat
permanent when the system gets hot. Run the bike and enjoy. It is normal for some white smoke to appear the first time
you start the bike. This is packing/manufacturing oil from inside the pipe burning off. Check for gaps or leaks. If you find a
leak, a little high temperature silicon sealant should fix it. After 50 to 100 miles, recheck all fasteners for tightness.
