Muffler: Service and Repair

MUFFLER WITH ATTACHMENTS, REPLACING

NOTES:
- After working on the exhaust system, ensure that the system is not under stress, and that it has sufficient clearance from the bodywork. If necessary loosen the double and single clamps and align the muffler and exhaust pipe so that sufficient clearance is maintained to the bodywork and the support rings are evenly loaded.
- Replace self-locking nuts





NOTE: Align exhaust system longitudinally so that dimensions -a- and -b- are maintained.
