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 mufflers at the passenger footpeg bracket and where it connects to the header.
3. Install the OE exhaust gasket into the end of each S-bend connector pipe. If your gaskets and not reusable these can be
purchased from any Honda dealer. Slide the S-bend connector pipes onto the end of the headers, using the stainless steel
TM
T-bolt clamps to attach it to the headers. Leave loose for now.
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. Repeat on the opposite side.
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.) 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 outside 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. 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.
