Installation Instructions
Honda
CBR500R
V.A.L.E.™ Slip-on Exhaust System with M-2 Exhaust Canister
Part # 005-3950405-T
1. Make sure the bike is completely cool before starting the
installation. Make sure the bike is secure on a centerstand or
ideally a service lift.
2. Loosen OEM muffler clamp.
3. Remove OEM muffler mounting hardware.
4. Remove OEM muffler assembly. OEM gasket will not be used
with TBR exhaust.
5. Apply a thin layer of anti-seize to TBR slip tube outlet and
connect to Tarmac muffler using supplied hook springs.
Loosely install barrel clamp onto slip tube inlet.
6. Install TBR slip-on assembly onto stock header and attach
muffler bracket to passenger peg mount using supplied bolt,
washer, and nut. Tighten to snug.
7. Tighten barrel clamp at header connection.
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.
