Two Brothers Racing Kawasaki Z1000 - Manual

Parts List
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
We recommend that this performance part be installed by a qualified
motorcycle technician. If you have any doubts as to your ability to install this
performance part, 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 a center stand or ideally a service lift during
installation. Be sure to save all stock components for possible use later.
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. Loosen the clamps that hold the connector pipes to the
headers under the bike.
3. Remove the hardware that holds the stock canisters at
the passenger footpeg brackets. Take off the canisters.
Save the stock nuts for use later.
4. Place a bead of hi-temp sealant on the outside edge of
the stock headers. Slide the S-bends onto the end of the
headers (you will NOT be using the gaskets), using the
supplied T-bolt clamps to attach them to the headers.
Wipe off the excess sealant that will squeeze out. Leave
loose for now.
5. Install the VALE adapter Kit onto the muffler canister
using the supplied kit instructions.
6. Place a bead of the hi-temp sealant on the outside edge
of the s-bends that go into the canisters. Slide the TBR
canisters onto the end of the S-bend pipes. Wipe off the
excess sealant that will squeeze out.
7. Carefully slide the canister clamps over the canisters.
(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-bends a little to get it in the right place. Place the
18mm spacers on the outside of the passenger footpeg
brackets. Locate both tabs of the canister clamps on the
outside of the spacers. Use the supplied 10mm x 70mm
bolt and stock nuts to secure. Reference photo. Leave
loose for now.
8. Make sure everything is aligned and tighten all
hardware. Affix the connector springs to the muffler.
9. 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.
