10. Before you run the quad, 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 quad and enjoy. It is normal for
some white smoke to appear the first time you start
the quad. 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
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 finish 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 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 - #005-10038, Offroad - #005-10038MX) that include everything you need to easily do it
yourself.
Titanium Mufflers: For cleaning use a mild water based spray cleaner. Always apply 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 - #005-10038, Offroad - #005-10038MX) that include everything you need to easily do it
yourself.
Repack all road canisters at the first signs of packing material deterioration. 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.
