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 rear service stand.
2. Remove the stock muffler assembly by loosening the muffler
clamp and the mounting bolt.
3. Use the supplied 4 (four) 6x20mm Socket Head Cap Screws
and 6mm split lock washers to loosely join the slip-tube to the
muffler canister. Do not tighten yet.
4. Slide the muffler assembly over the stock head pipe using the
clamp provided.
5. Next, slip the supplied rubber lined muffler clamp onto the
muffler canister and loosely attach to the upper mount using
the stock hardware.
6. With the new exhaust assembly in place, securely tighten
the 4 V.A.L.E.™socket head cap screws, securing the X-Lite™
retaining ring and exhaust tube to the muffler canister, keeping
sure that the muffler is in correct alignment with the bike.
7. Securely tighten the muffler canister clamp.
8. Securely tighten the muffler joint clamp to the stock collector.
9. Install OEM rubber bumper to center stand bracket by twisting
and pushing.
10. Double check to make sure that all hardware is tightened.
11. Before you run the bike, clean off all fingerprints and dirt, as
any oily residue will etch the metal and become permanent
when the system gets hot. Also, remove any plastic film from
the name badge(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.

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.
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 every 3,000 miles. 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.
