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.
Chrome Header System: Chromed header tubing will turn blue close to the exhaust ports, this is normal. To pre­vent corrosion you must keep the header pipes clean.
Carbon Fiber & X-Metal Mufflers: X-Metal CF canisters will shift color from their original silver color to an amber
color after a few heat cycles, similar to the way our stainless steel headers shift color. 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 / X-Metal CF 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.

We recommend that this performance exhaust system
be installed by a qualified motorcycle technician. If you
have any doubts as to your ability to install this exhaust
system, please consult with your local motorcycle deal­er. Read all instructions first 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 the sidestand or ideally a rear
service stand during installation. Be sure to save all
stock exhaust components for possible use later.

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 side panels (if applicable) and stock exhaust
system.

3. Install the new exhaust system in reverse order. The
TBR system eliminates the Honda OE exhaust port
washers.

4. Install the 18mm spacer between the frame and exhaust
system mounting tab, see photo to right. Use the 8mm x
40mm bolt, washers and nylock nut to secure the
exhaust system to the bike.

5. 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.

6. 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.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
