V.A.L.E.™ Slip-on Exhaust System with M-2 Exhaust Canister
Part # 005-3950405-T
1. Make sure the bike is completely cool before starting the
installation. Make sure the bike is secure on a centerstand or
ideally a service lift.
2. Loosen OEM mufer clamp.
3. Remove OEM mufer mounting hardware.
4. Remove OEM mufer assembly. OEM gasket will not be used
with TBR exhaust.
5. Apply a thin layer of anti-seize to TBR slip tube outlet and
connect to Tarmac mufer using supplied hook springs.
Loosely install barrel clamp onto slip tube inlet.
6. Install TBR slip-on assembly onto stock header and attach
mufer bracket to passenger peg mount using supplied bolt,
washer, and nut. Tighten to snug.
7. Tighten barrel clamp at header connection.
8. Before you run the bike, clean off all ngerprints and dirt, as
any oily residue will etch the metal and become somewhat
permanent when the system gets hot. Run the bike and
enjoy. It is normal for some white smoke to appear the rst
time you start the bike. This is packing/manufacturing oil from
inside the pipe burning off. Check for gaps or leaks. If you nd
a leak, a little high temperature silicon sealant should x 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 nish 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 berglass packing inside is in
good condition and not burned out, as exhaust heat inside an empty canister will deteriorate the carbon ber sleeve.
TBR sells repack kits (Road - #005-10038, Offroad - #005-10038MX) that include everything you need to easily do it yourself.
Titanium Mufers: For cleaning use a mild water based spray cleaner. Always apply cleaner or polish with a soft, clean cloth. Always make sure the berglass packing inside is in
good condition and not burned out, as exhaust heat inside an empty canister will deteriorate the carbon ber 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 ber 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.
