STEP 11: Install the Mid-Pipe and Muffler (Figure 11)
• Slip the large diameter end of the mid-pipe onto the collector. Adjust as necessary to ensure that
the spring tabs align.
• Install the muffler onto the mid-pipe. Adjust as necessary to ensure that the mounting bracket lines
up with the OEM mounting location. Insert the OEM muffler-mounting bolt through the bracket on
the muffler and into the OEM mounting location (Location 28). Place the OEM washer then nut on
the bolt and tighten enough to hold the system in place. Do not fully tighten until final adjustments
have been made.
• Adjust the assembly by hand as required to
ensure proper clearance between the belly
pan and muffler, and then attach mount
springs at locations 25, 26, and 27. Torque
the muffler mount bolt at location 28 to
34 N-m or (25 ft-lb). Reattached the radiator
to the lower radiator bracket with the OEM
(6x22mm) bolt and torque to 9.8 Nm or
(87 in-lb).
• Re-install the fairings in the reverse order that
they were removed. (See Caution Below.)

Caution: Failing to follow the steps below may result in
damage to your bike!
The right and left side fairing grills should be the last body panels installed, this will
allow you to reach in behind and support the tank cover tab identified in (Figure 5 B -
Page 3). Lubricate the rubber snap grommet. Using your finger support the backside
of the tab as you gently push the pin into the rubber snap grommet. After the tank
cover has been secured the side fairing grills can now be assembled in reverse order.
DO NOT START BIKE UNTIL FAIRINGS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED AND YOU HAVE
ENSURED A MINIMUM ¼-INCH CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE EXHAUST COMPONENTS
AND ALL BODYWORK.
Failure to ensure proper clearance may result in burned plastic. Brock’s Performance exhaust systems are
designed to provide appropriate clearances. If minimum clearances are not obtained, remove the springs on the
exhaust system and adjust until proper clearance is achieved. It is also recommended that the entire exhaust
system be wiped down with rubbing alcohol to remove oil and fingerprints before starting the bike. This will help
prevent tarnishing of the finish after the bike has been started and the exhaust is heated up.
