TOOLS SUGGESTED

Set of Metric and Standard Hex Wrenches, Set of Metric Combination Wrenches

STRICTLY OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES IN ORDER TO USE THE PRODUCT PROP-

ERLY AND AVOID POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ACCIDENTS.

STEP 1

Read and understand all steps in the instructions before starting the installation. Park the

motorcycle on a hard, level surface and turn off the ignition. Let cool.

DISCLAIMER — PLEASE READ BEFORE PROCEEDING

Any modifications to a motorcycle’s exhaust or intake tract require carburetor re-jetting to

achieve

maximum

performance and maintain drivability. If you are uncomfortable with the

process of tuning your carburetor, we recommend that you bring your motorcycle to a qualified

motorcycle mechanic to have this kit installed. The jets included in this kit were selected based

on test results with various combinations of components that we felt would represent the

majority of the customers purchasing this kit (see Addendum I). However, no two motorcycles

are exactly alike. Depending on the individual case, additional jets may need to be purchased

from an outside source. Küryakyn warrants the parts included in this kit to be free of defects in

materials and workmanship, but makes no claim whatsoever in regard to costs associated with

installation

or

tuning.

WARNING! YOU WILL BE WORKING AROUND THE ENGINE AND EXHAUST SYSTEM

DURING

INSTALLATION.

ENSURE

THAT THE ENGINE AND EXHAUST SYSTEM

HAVE FULLY COOLED TO PREVENT INJURY.


ATTENTION!

A factory service manual may be helpful in performing this installation. Do

not attempt to perform this installation if you are not confident in your

ability to complete all of the steps in the procedure; consult a trained

technician

.

CAUTION! The installation of any high performance exhaust system can

cause

a

“lean”

fuel/air

mixture. A “lean” fuel/air mixture can

cause engine overheating resulting in severe engine damage.

Küryakyn

recommends

rejetting carbureted bikes.

STEP 2

Remove the seat and rear-mounting bolt on the fuel tank.

STEP 3

Prop up the rear of the tank; a small block of wood works well.


STEP 4

Remove your stock air cleaner and spark plug covers. You may want to ask a

friend to hold and lift the tank slightly as you work the air box out from beneath,

slide it toward the rear of the bike and then out.


STEP 5

Remove the two hoses that are connected to the back of the air box. Take note of

the three hoses marked as “A”, “B”, and “C” in PIC.1. The hose marked as “A”

should be taken free of the metal retaining loop on the side of the carb. The

hose marked as “B” should be capped off using the included gray vinyl cap and the

hose marked as “C” should be routed up behind and over the top front side of the

carb. See PIC.2. Be careful not to kink the hose.


STEP 6

Remove and set aside the two bolts marked as “D” in PIC.2. They will be reused.

STEP 7

Re-jet carburetor. Refer to factory service manual for disassembly procedure and

to Addendum I for baseline jetting recommendations.

STEP 8

Cut the vacuum hose located on the upper right side of the carburetor and install

the supplied “T” fitting. Cut a 9-inch length from the vacuum line supplied in the

kit and connect it to the open leg of the “T”. See PIC.3. The other end of this hose

will

be

connected

to

the Hypercharger later.
