Muffler and Straps
NOTES
• Torca muffler clamps have eliminated the need for silicone
or graphite tape during assembly. To ensure sealing
integrity of muffler clamps and prevent the possibility of
leakage, Buell recommends that muffler clamp assemblies
be discarded and replaced each time they are removed.
• Due to the location of the CKP it will be necessary to align
the Torca Clamp to ensure proper clearance between the
chin fairing and the CKP and Torca clamp.
1. Install muffler and new Torca clamp onto header.
NOTES
• If necessary, use a fiber hammer to fit muffler on header.
• For details on installing components on XB12 models with
interactive exhaust systems, see
7.14 INTERACTIVE
EXHAUST SYSTEM, Installation .

NOTE
Never re-use front muffler strap. Always replace front muffler
strap with a new strap when removed from system.

straps (2, 5).
NOTES
• It is important that the front muffler mount is tightened last
in order to ensure proper alignment of the exhaust system.
• When rear muffler straps have been installed, it is
important that strap fasteners do not contact idler pulley
bracket.
• On the front muffler mount fastener, torque is applied to
the head and not to the nut.
