      assembly, remove muffler mount bolt and 
      carefully remove the stock muffler assembly by 
      sliding toward the rear. 

4.   While securely supporting the stock header, 
      remove header nuts and carefully remove the 
      stock header.

      Note: The stock exhaust port gasket will be 
 

    re-used with the Yoshimura full-system. 

 

    Inspect and replace if necessary.  

Removal

3.   Install (No. 3) 

224500D320-RMA, 

muffler onto 

      (No. 2) 

22450-144,

 tailpipe outlet. Using the 

      (No. 5) 

8X22SPC,

 aluminum spacer, align 

      muffler mount bracket to muffler mount and 
      secure using (No. 4) 

M8X40H,

 8mm bolt as 

      shown on the assembly diagram. Torque bolt to 
      23 Nm (2.3 kg-m, 17 ft-lb). 

4.   Torque stock muffler tailpipe chassis mount bolt 
      to factory specification. 
 
5.   Install (No. 6) 

RACE-SPX-2,

 short exhaust 

      spring between muffler and tailpipe using 

      ST-200,

 spring puller tool. 

6.   Install (No. 7) 

RACE-SPS-1,

 medium exhaust 

      spring between tailpipe and header using 
      

ST-200,

 spring puller tool. 

7.   Re-install right side panel following the opposite 
      steps of removal.  
 
      Note: Check to make sure the side panel is not 
 

    contacting the tailpipe. If necessary, trim 

 

    the bottom right corner of the side panel. 

8.   Before starting motorcycle, check for proper 
      clearance between new exhaust system and 
      rear suspension (i.e. tire, swingarm, brakes, 
      rear shock, and etc.) If any problem is found, 
      please carefully follow through the installation 
      steps again. If problem still persists, please call 
      Yoshimura Tech Department at (800) 634-9166 
      / in CA (909) 628-4722.

9.   It is recommended that the muffler and tailpipe 
      be wiped down with rubbing alcohol to remove 
      oil and fingerprints. This will help prevent 
      tarnishing of the finish after the exhaust is 
      heated up.

      Note: After starting motorcycle, it is normal for   
 

    new exhaust system and muffler to emit 

 

    smoke until oil residue burns off.
