EXHAUST CARE (STAINLESS)

When installing a new set of stainless pipes, make sure your hands are clean and free of oil. After installation, thoroughly clean pipes with a soft cloth and cleaning solvent that will leave no residue (glass cleaner, alcohol, acetone, etc…) before starting the motorcycle.
It is considered normal for stainless steel exhaust systems to discolor due to heat.
High performance engine tuning utilizing a dyno will likely result in severe discoloration.
Avoid long periods of idiling as this can cause discoloration. Intake leaks can cause the engine to run lean and overheat and this could lead to discoloration.
Make sure there are no exhaust leaks at the junction of the exhaust pipes and cylinder head. We recommend replacing gaskets if they are worn.

EXHAUST CARE (BLACK)

When installing a new set of black pipes, make sure your hands are clean and free of oil. After installation, throroughly clean pipes with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Dry with a clean towel to remove any residue before starting the motorcycle. Do NOT use anything abrasive to clean pipes.
Avoid long periods of idling as this can cause discoloration.
Intake leaks can cause the engine to run lean and overheat, this could lead to discoloration.
Make sure there are no exhaust leaks at the junction of the exhaust pipes and cylinder head. We recommend replacing gaskets if they are worn.
