Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires access to the exhaust outlet, typically involving the removal of a retaining bolt at the end of the muffler. Ensure the exhaust is completely cool before starting the installation to prevent burns. Once cooled, slide the damper into the exhaust tip and secure it with the appropriate hardware provided with your specific Akrapovic system. It is critical to periodically check the security of the retaining bolt, as engine vibrations over time can cause it to loosen. For cleaning, wipe the exposed portion of the damper with a non-abrasive cloth during routine bike washing to prevent carbon buildup or surface corrosion, which can make future removal difficult.
