Tipping how to install that correct
motorcycle exhaust. One of the most common modifications done on a motorcycle is the replacement of the stock exhaust system with a set of after market pipes that support the improvement of the sound or performance. Selection of "pipe" is endless; all offers of bolt-on replacement muffler for a complete system of exchange swap header pipes and mufflers to limit the equipment is less. Installation of these systems can vary in difficulty, depending largely on the bike and the type of system selected. Proper preparation, however, is the key to a clean and proper installation.
Preparation.
Before you start, get a service manual for your motorcycle. Service manual offers a lot of information, detailing every aspect of maintenance and repair procedures related to your specific bike. In fact, this manual will detail the exhaust removal processes and equipment required to do so.
Next, make sure that your work area clean and easy. Nothing is more frustrating than having to work around other objects, especially when you may have put yourself in an unusual position to get a job.
Finally, make sure that your new system or exhaust finish, including gaskets and mounting hardware needed to install the correct kit bike. Check the parts list that came with the exhaust you in the instructions.
Displacement.
Before you turn on your first tool, take time to get your bike is secured properly. Park bicycle on a smooth surface and, if possible, places a bike on the stand or lift to provide extra stability. Remove the negative - battery terminal and wrapped in electrical tape to prevent short circuit on the frame, which can send an electrical charge through your tools and go directly to you.
Check your bike to determine what body parts should be removed to access the exhaust system. Bolt-on mufflers quite accessible with the installation of components that are most easily accessible. Full swap system, however, will require access to the exhaust header, a series of pipes that connect directly to the motor, and require removal of your bike fairings or bodywork, if any. Every place bodywork removed and hardware in a safe place.
Begin by loosening the exhaust manifold flange mounting screws and bolts that secure each of exhausts for motorcycles, then work backwards to remove the exhaust first, followed by mid-pipe, then the header. Take time to clean up areas that were previously hidden behind the exhaust gas and remove the old exhaust manifold gaskets exhaust from the motor. Avoid using the back exhaust gaskets, if possible.
Installation.
Clean carbon buildup from the exhaust manifold and new exhaust gaskets you slide into place, this will help seal the pipe to the motor to prevent the loss of power. Fit your header pipe to the exhaust manifold, and then bolt down loose. Working toward the back of a motorcycle, install mid-pipe and exhaust with hardware that is included in the kit. Once again, install the fasteners loose. Once the system is placed on a bicycle, set each component to align with the next component. If your system is properly lined up, tighten it down.
