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 [phone] / in CA (909) 628-
4722 for more information.
9. Before starting vehicle, check for proper
clearance between new exhaust system and
rear suspension (i.e. tire, swingarm, brakes,
rear shock, and etc.) If any problem is found,
please carefully follow through the installation
steps again. If problem still persists, please call
Yoshimura Tech Department at [phone]
/ in CA [phone].
10. It is recommended that the muffler and tailpipe
be wiped down with rubbing alcohol to remove
oil and fingerprints. This will help prevent
tarnishing of the finish after the exhaust is
heated up.
Note: After starting motorcycle, it is normal for
new exhaust system and muffler to emit
smoke until oil residue burns off.

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. 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 [phone] / in CA [phone] 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: https://www.yoshimura-rd.com/pages/repack-
and-insert-chart
***PRO TIP*** Before you install your new muffler for the first-time log the weight in your Owner’s or Service manual
along with the current hours or mileage on your vehicle. When you are performing periodic maintenance on your
vehicle (like a tire change, or an oil change) you can remove your Yoshimura muffler from the vehicle and weigh it again.
Over time, the packing material inside your muffler will burn off with use, and the muffler will need to be repacked.
When the weight loses approximately 100 grams of the original weight, you should consider getting your Yoshimura
muffler repacked. You can order repacking kit or the parts to repack the muffler from the Yoshimura website, or
your local dealer. You can also contact the Yoshimura sales office and arrange to send in your muffler for the repacking
service too.
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.
