If you have any trouble installing the system please contact your authorized dealer! IMPORTANT INFORMATION Exclusion of Certain Liability

1. The manufacturer, importer or dealer shall not be liable for any incidental damage including personal injury or any other damages caused by improper installation or operation of the Akrapovi� exhaust system. When installing the Akrapovi� exhaust system be careful that the exhaust system does not touch other parts sensitive to high temperature.

2. Akrapovi� makes no representation or warranties with regard to damage caused by the improper installation, use and

maintenance of the Akrapovi� exhaust system. The warranty is limited to defects recognized by our technical department and to normal use, and excludes items subject to normal wear (gaskets and damping wool). The guarantee is void in case of accident, modification, improper or competition use.

3. Do not attempt to install the Akrapovi� exhaust system on a motorcycle for which it was not made or tested by

Akrapovi�.

4. When the exhaust system gets very hot during operation, be careful not to burn yourself on the exhaust system or parts which are in direct contact with it, even when the motor is not running. Also protect other people, especially children, from the injuries mentioned above.

5. In some cases Akrapovi� exhaust system kits contain chemical products (ceramic anti-seizing grease; bolt sealant).

Handle with care, do not inhale or swallow. Avoid excessive contact with skin, eyes or mucous membranes. Keep out of reach of children.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE INSTALLING CHECK SCHEMATIC OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM!

! IF ANY ITEMS IN THE AKRAPOVIC EXHAUST SYSTEM PACKAGE ARE MISSING PLEASE CONTACT YOUR AUTHORIZED DEALER. KEEP THE SCHEMATIC FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

! THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE READ CAREFULLY IN ORDER TO ENSURE PROPER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF THE AKRAPOVIC EXHAUST SYSTEM.

! THE EXHAUST SYSTEM CAN BE EXTREMELY HOT. ALLOW THE MOTORCYCLE TO COOL DOWN BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION.

WE ADVISE YOU TO LEAVE INSTALLATION TO A QUALIFIED SERVICEMAN. IMPROPER INSTALLATION MAY RESULT IN A SHORTER LIFETIME OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE MOTORCYCLE.

REMOVAL OF STOCK EXHAUST SYSTEM:

1. Put the motorcycle on a side stand, we recommend a racing stand. Make sure, that surface is solid and �at. 2. Unscrew the bolts from the muffler clamps and muffler bracket (Figure 1, 2). Unhook the stock springs and remove the

mufflers with welded link-pipes (Figure 3, 4).

INSTALLATION OF THE AKRAPOVI� SLIP-ON EXHAUST SYSTEM: 1. Slide the mufflers with welded link pipes onto the stock collector (Figure 5). Attach the Akrapovi� springs (Figure 6).

Correctly position the carbon-fiber clamps and slide them onto the mufflers. WARNING: open the clamps slightly wider than the diameter of the outer sleeve of the mufflers – do not scrape them along the mufflers outer sleeve! Be careful not to damage paint or any other part of the motorcycle during this process (Figure 7). Tighten the clamps using stock bolts and spacers (Figure 8). Make sure the mufflers or link pipes are not touching the frame or any other parts of the motorcycle.

Final installation: 1. Clean grease spots:

a. Muffler – titanium outer sleeve: use a soft cloth sprayed with a multi-purpose spray lubricant (WD-40 or equivalent).

b. Muffler – titanium outer sleeve: use a soft cloth sprayed with a multi-purpose spray lubricant (WD-40 or equivalent).

c. Muffler – carbon-fiber outlet cap: use a soft dry cloth. d. SLIP-ON with titanium link pipe: use a soft cloth sprayed with a multi-purpose spray lubricant (WD-40 or

equivalent).

Cleaning will prevent spots from burning onto the surface. Do not use aggressive chemical cleaners, because they can damage the sticker.

2. Check the operation of the brakes and suspension. Make sure all the bolts are sufficiently tightened. In case the exhaust system touches the cowling or other parts repeat the adjustment of the exhaust system or contact your authorized dealer.

! IT IS NORMAL IF WHITE SMOKE COMES OUT OF THE MUFFLER ON FIRST OPERATION.

! DO NOT STAND BEHIND THE MUFFLER ON FIRST OPERATION.

! DO NOT USE AUTOMOTIVE WHEEL CLEANERS OR ANY CLEANING PRODUCTS WHICH CONTAIN ACIDIC ADDITIVES TO CLEAN AKRAPOVI� EXHAUST SYSTEMS.

MAINTENANCE OF THE AKRAPOVI� EXHAUST SYSTEM 1. Clean the titanium exhaust components with a multi-purpose spray lubricant (WD-40 or equivalent), carbon fiber exhaust

components with soft and dry cloth and stainless steel components with soft cloth sprayed with contact cleaner, then wipe with soft and dry cloth. Do not use aggressive chemical cleaners, because they can damage the sticker. A change in the color of the exhaust system is normal due to the high temperatures.

2. The wearing out of the muffler silencing material depends on the type of the engine and riding style. Contact your dealer/serviceman if visible changes appear on muffler's outer sleeve or the noise level is increased.

3. Periodically make sure all the bolts and springs are sufficiently tight.

WARNING:

Please note that certain aftermarket exhaust systems may not comply with applicable California laws and regulations, and may therefore be prohibited for use on California highways or roads, or on roads or vehicles otherwise subject to emissions control requirements.Akrapovič exhaust systems for automobiles and motorcycles mounted downstream of the catalytic converter (also known as “cat-back systems”) are considered “replacement parts” in California by the California Air Resources Board (CARB), and do not require an exemption or executive order from CARB to be sold in California. However, California prohibits the use of any aftermarket exhaust system that modifies, removes or replaces original equipment catalysts, unless CARB has issued an Executive Order as to such part or system.Further, Akrapovič parts or exhaust systems used or intended for use on “racing vehicles” (i.e. a competition vehicle used exclusively for competition on closed-course circuits) do not require an exemption or Executive Order from CARB to be sold in California. However, such parts are prohibited from use on California public highways or roads, even if occasionally used “off-road.”
