Installation Instructions
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: Polished stainless steel pipes will turn a light golden hue
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: Polished titanium pipes will experience color shift ranging
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: Use an aluminum or mag wheel polish to restore the
bright nish to factory spec.
Brushed Aluminum Canisters: Clean using a mild water based spray cleaner. Always
apply cleaner or polish with a soft, clean cloth.
Carbon Fiber Canisters: Clean using a mild water based spray cleaner. Always apply
cleaner or polish with a soft, clean cloth. Always make sure the berglass packing inside
is in good condition and not burned out, as exhaust heat inside an empty canister will
deteriorate the carbon ber sleeve.

everything you need to easily do it yourself.
Titanium Mufers: For cleaning use a mild water based spray cleaner. Always apply

We recommend that this performance part be installed by a qualied
motorcycle technician. If you have any doubts as to your ability to install
this performance part, please consult with your local motorcycle dealer.
Read all instructions rst before starting installation. Make sure the
motorcycle and exhaust system are completely cool before starting the
installation. Also, make sure the bike is secure on a centerstand or ideally
a service lift during installation. Be sure to save all stock components for
possible use later.
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
1. Make sure the bike is completely cool before starting
the installation. Make sure the bike is secure on the
sidestand or ideally a rear service stand.
2. Remove the rightside foot peg.
3. Loosen the clamp that holds the mufer connector pipe
to the headers.

4. Remove the hardware that holds the stock mufer to the
tail section. Remove the mufer from the bike. Be sure
to remove the exhaust gasket (header/mufer junction)
as our system does not use it.
5. Attach the X-Lite™ V.A.L.E.™ assembly to the mufer
canister using the 4 (four) 6 x 14mm socket head cap
screws and lock washers provided. Leave loose for now.

6. Place a bead of high temp sealant on the end of the
header. Slide the S-bend connector pipe onto the end
of the headers, using the stainless steel T-bolt clamp to
attach it to the headers. Wipe off the excess sealant that
will squeeze out. Leave loose for now.
7. Carefully slide the mufer clamp over the mufer. You
may need to twist and turn the S-bend a little to get it
in the right place. Locate one tab of the canister clamp
on one side stock mounting tab and the other tab on
the other side of the stock mounting tab. Use the stock
hardware to secure it. Leave loose for now.
8. Make sure that the mufer canister is aligned correctly
and tighten all hardware. Securely tighten barrel clamp,
V.A.L.E.™assembly, and muffler clamp.
9. Before you run the bike, clean off all ngerprints 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 rst time you start the bike. This is packing/
manufacturing oil from inside the pipe burning off.
Check for gaps or leaks. If you nd a leak, a little high
temperature silicon sealant should x it. After 50 to 100
miles, recheck all fasteners for tightness.
