YOSHIMURA EXHAUST LIMITED WARRANTY

All Yoshimura R&D of America, Inc., exhaust systems carry a one-year limited warranty against defects in workmanship and/or materials.

WHO IS COVERED?

This warranty is provided to the original purchaser of the exhaust system.

WHAT VOIDS THE WARRANTY?

1. Abuse, misuse, improper installation and/or modifications

2. Custom applications

3. No proof of purchase at the time of warranty.  Claimant must provide proof of purchase (original receipt or invoice) and a warranty authorization 

number (RMA) obtained from Yoshimura.

4. Finishes such as plating or painted surfaces with discoloration or rust due to inclement weather conditions, exposure to salt, exposure to 

chemicals, or lack of maintenance by the customer are not covered.

5. International grey-market product purchased through a dealer/distributor not authorized for your country will not be supported by this warranty.  

EXTENT OF WARRANTY:

Any defective exhaust system properly returned to Yoshimura will be repaired or replaced by Yoshimura.  Yoshimura is not responsible for any 

other expense incurred by the customer under the terms of this limited warranty, nor is Yoshimura responsible for any damages either 

consequential, incidental, special, contingent or otherwise; or expenses or injury arising directly or indirectly from the use of the exhaust system.  

Any exhaust system returned to Yoshimura must be sent at the customers expense along with the proof of purchase and warranty authorization 

(RMA).  Yoshimura reserves the right to determine whether the terms of the warranty, set out above, have been properly followed.  In the event 

that the terms are not followed this warranty is void.  Yoshimura is the sole determiner of abuse, misuse, installation errors and 

modifications—should any of these be found, this warranty is void.  The duration of any and all implied warranties are limited to the duration of the 

express warranty.  All incidental or consequential damages are herby excluded.  The warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may have 

other rights, which vary from state to state.  Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or 

limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you.

If you have a fitment or other problem, or are missing a part, please double-check this trouble shooting guide first:

1. Reference your instruction sheet and double-check all drawings and instructions

2. Make sure muffler clamps are installed correctly (refer to instructions diagram). On many models, there is a right and wrong way to install.  Also 

verify part numbers on headers and tail pipe.

3. Always make sure to install spring-mounted manifolds and flanges on cylinder head prior to installing headers.

4. Always take time to examine problems in detail.

5. When all else fails, call our technical support line at (909) 628-4722.  The technical line is open 9:00am – 4:30pm Monday through Friday, Pacific 

Time.  Please have the following information handy: Year/Make/Model of motorcycle, date of purchase, place of purchase, batch dates and part 

numbers (found on header and tail-pipe components).

6. Also, feel free to ask through online e-mail at [email protected], or fax your question/problems to (909) 591-2198.

RE-PACKING TIPS

To maintain maximum sound and engine performance the muffler packing will need to be replaced at some time during the muffler’s life. Yoshimura 

recommends repacking your muffler at least once a year. 

Failure to maintain the muffler packing may cause damage to the muffler and/or void the warranty. Regularly inspect the muffler body for 

discoloration, cracks, rattling, or other signs of wear caused by depleted muffler packing. If muffler packing is determined to be depleted or worn, 

a Yoshimura muffler re-pack kit is highly recommended to restore the muffler to optimum maximum performance. 

Yoshimura offers a 3-5 day turn around (plus transit time) to inspect and refurbish used and damaged mufflers.

IMPORTANT TECHNICAL NOTE

Yoshimura recommends on all race exhaust systems, that all spring joints be safety wired.  Recommended wire type 304/316 

stainless steel with a .032” diameter should be used.
