NOTE:

After working on the exhaust system ensure that the system is not under stress and that it has sufficient clearance to the bodywork. If necessary, loosen double clamp(s) and align muffler and exhaust pipe so that sufficient clearance is maintained to the bodywork and the support hangers are evenly loaded.
Replace self-locking nuts.
