Care & Cleaning

Care & Cleaning

Keep system free of dirt and moisture. Store in a cool, dry place. Make sure vehicle is completely cool before

maintenance.

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. Clean using a mild water based spray cleaner. Always apply

cleaner or polish with a soft, clean cloth.

Titanium Header System: Polished titanium pipes will experience color shift ranging from deep blue/purple through

amber after a few heat cycles. This is a normal characteristic of high quality titanium. Clean using a mild water based

spray cleaner. Always apply cleaner or polish with a soft, clean cloth.

Polished Aluminum Canisters: Use an aluminum or mag wheel polish to restore the bright finish to factory spec.

Brushed Aluminum Canisters: Clean using a mild water based spray cleaner. Always apply cleaner or polish with a

soft, clean cloth.

Carbon Fiber Canisters: Clean using a mild water based spray cleaner. Always apply cleaner or polish with a soft,

clean cloth. 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 sleeve.

TBR sells repack kits (Road - #005-10038, Offroad - #005-10038MX) that include everything you need to easily do it

yourself.

Titanium Mufflers: For cleaning use a mild water based spray cleaner. Always apply cleaner or polish with a soft,

clean cloth. 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 sleeve.

TBR sells repack kits (Road - #005-10038, Offroad - #005-10038MX) that include everything you need to easily do it

yourself.

Repack all road canisters at the first signs of packing material deterioration. Part #005-10038

Repack all offroad canisters after every 10 hours of use. Part #005-10038MX

NEVER dyno test your bike with carbon fiber or titanium canisters installed - the intense heat and lack of cooling air

can quickly burn through the canister material. Two Brothers Racing does not provide a warranty for burned canisters.

10. Adjust and align mufflers and tighten the X-ring bolts.

Then muffler joint clamp and muffler mounting clamps

last.

Installation Instructions

11. Re-install lower fairing and seats.

12. Double check all your work.

13. 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. Also, remove any

plastic film from the name badge(s) and or canister clamp(s).

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.
