Clean the entire exhaust system before starting the motorcycle.

Remove fingerprints, oil, grease and installation residue with a clean microfiber cloth and mild cleaner. Residue left on the stainless may discolor when heated.

ROUTINE CLEANING

• Wash with mild soap and water.

• Use a soft microfiber cloth or wash mitt.

CARING FOR THE BRUSHED FINISH

For light marks or scuffs, use a fine non-metallic abrasive pad.

Always work in the same direction as the existing brushed grain.

Do not use steel wool, wire brushes or coarse abrasives.

HEAT COLOR

Excessive or rapidly changing discoloration may indicate high exhaust temperatures or an improper engine tune.
