Before you run the ATV, 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 ATV and enjoy. It is normal for some white smoke to

appear the first time you start the ATV. 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.

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 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.
