Kelpi Custom Moto CP3 Exhaust Baffle Comparison
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
To install, begin by fitting the link pipe onto the headers whilst off the bike (you may need to twist these to get the slip joint snuggly seated). From there, disconnect your o2 sensor and unbolt the stock exhaust. Begin installing the new system with a note to ensure you keep the stock exhaust gaskets sitting into the motor. The best tip for this is to use a small dab of grease on each gasket which will be enough to stick it to the motor whilst you’re fitting the headers in. From there, screw on the header flange nuts ensuring that the nuts are fitted but not tightened (back them off one or two turns from snug). Slip the link pipe onto the headers, then the muffler onto the link pipe (springs will be placed later). This is the point where you want to rotate your link pipe generally counter clockwise so that you can set where you want your muffler to be positioned - you want it to be sitting in nice and close to the swingarm and rear tyre, not sticking outwards underneath your foot peg. Once you’ve got the position you’re happy with, bolt up the S bend bracket to the original stock rear muffler mounting point and bolt that to the muffler. It’s important not to torque your headers or set the springs before setting that rear position, but once your rear mounting bolts are done you’re able to torque your header flange nuts, and then begin adding the springs to the system. The tapered smaller length springs are for the muffler to link pipe, and the linear longer springs are for the merge collector to link pipe. From there, connect your o2 sensor and you’re finished! After a couple of minutes running the protective layer of oil will have burnt off, and after your first ride the exhaust will take on a golden colouring. As the stainless is brand new, the first time it colours up from rising will always be the most vibrant, so I’d recommend taking it out for a solid half hour ride at a minimum to get as much colour on the pipes as possible (note: I am not condoning illegal behavior and speeding, it’s just a note).
NOTE: Do not turn your motorcycle on or start the bike until you have reinstalled the o2 sensor. Failure to do this will result in a ‘check engine’ code being thrown which will cost $50 for yamaha to reset the code if you don’t have your own OBDLink scan tool and know-how.
