Final installation: 1. Clean grease spots: a. Muffler carbon-fiber outer sleeve: use a soft dry cloth. b. Muffler titanium outer sleeve: use a soft cloth sprayed with a multi-purpose spray lubricant (WD-40 or equivalent). c. Stainless steel link pipe: use a soft cloth sprayed with a contact cleaner, then wipe with a soft dry cloth. Cleaning will prevent spots from burning onto the surface. Do not use aggressive chemical cleaners, because they can damage the sticker.

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 AKRAPOVIC EXHAUST SYSTEMS.
MAINTENANCE OF THE AKRAPOVIC 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. 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. Periodically make sure all the bolts and springs are sufficiently tight.
