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 rear service stand.
2. Loosen the clamp that holds the canister to the headers under the bike. Remove the hardware that holds the stock canister
at the passenger footpeg bracket. Take off the canister. Be careful to avoid damaging the round gasket, you’ll need to use it
again.
3. Install the new S-bend pipe onto the end of the header collector, reusing the stock gasket and clamp. Leave loose for now.

4. Instal 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 canister onto
the end of the S-bend pipe. Wipe off the excess sealant that will squeeze out.
6. Carefully slide the canister clamp over the canister. (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.) You may need
to twist and turn the S-bend a little to get it in the right place. Locate both tabs of the canister clamp on the inside of the
passenger footpeg bracket. Use the stock hardware to secure it. Leave loose for now.
7. Make sure everything is aligned and tighten all hardware. Affix the connector springs to the muffler.
8. Be sure to allow the sealant to dry per the manufacturer’s instructions before starting the bike. 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.
