Warranty
Two Brothe rs Racing p roducts are intended fo r closed co urse compet ition purpo ses only, and therefore are sold “a s is”
without warranty. Two B rothers Rac ing specifi cally discla ims any war ranties of merchantabi lity or fit ness for a particular
purpose and discla ims all res ponsibility for conseq uential and incidental damages or any other losses aris ing from the use
of thes e products or parts.
1. Make sure the bike is completely cool before starting
the installation. Make sure the bike is secure on a
centerstand or ideally a service lift.
2. Remove right side panel.
3. Remove muffler mount bolt, lower mid-pipe bolt and
muffler clamp.
4. Remove right muffler assembly.
5. Loosely attach muffler to S-Bend using the four
6x14mm Socket Head Cap Screws and lock washers
provided. Slide barrel clamp over slip-tube joint.
6. Loosely attach muffler assembly to motorcycle using
the supplied 8x70mm socket head bolt with 22mm
spacer at OEM muffler mounting position.
7. Loosely attach mid-pipe section bolt using supplied
8x30mm socket head cap screw.
8. Tighten the mid-pipe, then the four V.A.L.E.™ring
muffler bolts, barrel clamp, and lastly the muffler
mount..
9. Install OEM side panel.
10. Double check to make sure that all hardware is
tightened.
11. 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.

Care & Cleaning / Warranty
Care & Cleaning
Keep system free of dirt and moisture. Store in a cool, dry place. For cleaning use a mild spray cleaner. Always
apply cleaner or polish with a soft, clean cloth.
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.
Carbon Fiber Mufflers: 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 (TBR part
# 005-10038) that include new rivets and repack material as well as a drill bit (#30), making it easy to do yourself.
Also, NEVER dyno test your bike with carbon fiber mufflers installed - the intense heat and lack of cooling air can
quickly cause the CF material to burn. Two Brothers Racing does not provide a warranty for burned carbon fiber.
Aluminum Mufflers: Use an aluminum or mag wheel polish such as Mother’s to restore the bright finish to
factory spec.
Warranty

losses arising from the use of these products or parts.
