Works Finish Care & Maintenance

• Before starting vehicle, clean pipe thoroughly using a soft cloth and rubbing alcohol to remove any oil and finger prints.
• The color of the exhaust will change once the system has gone through a heat cycle of 15 minutes or more. Color will vary depending on lean/rich conditions.
• Clean using a soft cloth and soap. Do not use abrasive materials as it will scratch the surface.
• Surface reconditioning services are available to remove scratches and undesirable discoloration due to extreme heat. Contact Yoshimura Tech Department at 800-634-9166 / in CA 909-628-4722 for more information.

Dear Yoshimura Customer,
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing a Yoshimura Exhaust System. Over six decades of experience in research and development, state of the art machinery, materials and craftsmanship of the highest quality all come together in a product of exceptional quality and performance—in other words, this is the best thing you can put on your bike.
We strive to provide you with a product perfect in fit and finish. However, if you have any problems, please give us a call. We have found that most fitment issues can be easily resolved by a conversation with one of our knowledgeable and friendly staff. If the issue cannot be resolved this way, our warranty evaluation program may be the answer. Please take a moment to review our recommendations for the care of your exhaust and our warranty information.

PLEASE NOTE: If you have any doubts about your exhaust: DO NOT START THE MOTORCYCLE! ONCE AN EXHAUST HAS BEEN USED OR MODIFIED, IT CANNOT BE RETURNED FOR CREDIT OR EXCHANGE.

EXHAUST SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

Yoshimura Exhaust Systems require very little care and maintenance; here are a few tips:

1. Use mild car/motorcycle soap to clean the exhaust system—do not use any abrasives or degreasers.
2. Clean your exhaust with metal/stainless polish every 1-2 months to retain the luster and remove dirt and grime. (DO NOT USE POLISH ON “WORKS FINISH” SYSTEMS)
3. Avoid contaminating exhaust surfaces when hot.
4. Your exhaust system will change color (blue, magenta, purple, and/or gold) due to heat; this is normal.
5. Keep all clamps, bolts and other fasteners tight as exhaust systems are susceptible to vibration damage.
6. If you ride in coastal regions or areas that use salt to control ice and snow, wipe the exhaust down after it cools to remove any possible salt residue, which can result in rusting.
7. If you are storing your motorcycle for the season, wipe the exhaust system down with rubbing alcohol before storage.
8. Head pipes glowing (visible in normal light) may indicate an excessively lean condition that must be corrected.

CARBON FIBER

Carbon fiber equipped exhaust components require special attention. The following addresses wear issues directly related to carbon fiber:

1. Keep all clamps, bolts and other fasteners tight. Carbon Fiber is very susceptible to vibration damage.
2. Keep all chemicals and solvents away from the carbon fiber, as they will damage the finish.
3. High temperatures will cause the resin in the carbon fiber to break down. Visual signs such as an amber hue in the resin may be early signs of heat damage to carbon fiber.
4. Upon seeing amber colored resin, discontinue use. The exhaust system needs to be inspected by a representative from Yoshimura, for repack, and/or repair. Continued use will cause component failure.

STAINLESS STEEL

Stainless Steel is not rust proof but is less prone to rusting, staining and pitting; but it is prone to oxidation like all metals.

WORKS FINISH

1. Works Finish exhaust systems should never be cleaned with abrasives or polishes.
2. Yoshimura recommends using “Bar Keepers Friend” cleaner to remove minor stains.
3. Surface reconditioning services are available to remove scratches and undesirable discoloration due to extreme heat. Contact Yoshimura Tech Department at 800-634-9166 / in CA 909-628-4722 for more information.

RE-PACKING TIPS

To maintain maximum sound and engine performance the muffler packing will need to be replaced at some time during the muffler’s life. Yoshimura recommends repacking your muffler at least once a year. Failure to maintain the muffler packing may cause damage to the muffler and/or void the warranty. Regularly inspect the muffler body for discoloration, cracks, rattling, or other signs of wear caused by depleted muffler packing. If muffler packing is determined to be depleted or worn, a Yoshimura muffler re-pack kit is highly recommended to restore the muffler to optimum maximum performance. Yoshimura offers a 3-5 day turn around (plus transit time) to inspect and refurbish used and damaged mufflers. For more information on muffler repacking please visit our website at: http://www.yoshimura-rd.com/muffler-repacking

IMPORTANT TECHNICAL NOTE
Yoshimura recommends on all race exhaust systems, that all spring joints be safety wired. Recommended wire type 304/316 stainless steel with a .032” diameter should be used.
