Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The RHA173MA header pipe is designed as a direct replacement for the original header. It is recommended to consult a professional mechanic for installation if you are not experienced with exhaust system work. Ensure all mounting hardware is securely tightened to prevent leaks and vibrations. This header pipe is explicitly designed to work with the Scorpion slip-on silencer RHA-173. Attempting to fit it with other silencer types may result in improper fitment or performance issues.

Compatibility: This header pipe is compatible ONLY with the Honda CRF 1000 L Africa Twin models manufactured between 2015 and 2017. It is crucial to confirm your motorcycle's year and model before purchasing.

Care: As the header pipe requires no repacking, maintenance is minimal. Clean the exterior with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish. Periodically check all connections for tightness, especially after prolonged use or exposure to harsh conditions.
