Any tips or video install tutorials for a full exhaust?
It's time to install the Two Brothers Black Series full exhaust on my bike, I figure I could save some money by installing it myself then handing it off to a tuning shop to clean and jet and tune the carbs.
The included instructions are vague to say the least, so are there any specific torque settings I should use on the bolts or any other tips not included in the instructions? They only say how to remove the old system and install the new one, they don't mention a single thing about bolt torque settings or whether or not any thread locker should be used. Also included in the box is a tube of Permatex Ultra Black gasket maker, but not a single word in the instructions on where or how to use it. I tried to find some videos on a full TBR exhaust install for the 250R, but all I could find were slip-on installs. |

How about answering a simple question....
What are the heads made out of so I know if I'll need anti-sieze on the header bolts or not? |

You could use a type of gasket maker for eliminating any sealing issues but I prefer custom-made exhaust header gaskets so I can't tell you much about that... I think the stockers have a copper-ring gasket between headers and head exhaust outlets so if not in bad shape, try reusing these with some permatex on or even better get new ones, should be cheap... hope I 've been of some help, sorry for the delayed responding...

The header gaskets are copper crush washers. OEM part, not expensive. Use them. Don't trust goop.
Torque on the header bolts is very low, so be really careful... Pretty sure it's about 8 or 9 ft-lbs. USE A TORQUE WRENCH. And use it properly... if you don't have one and aren't familiar with the one you buy, learn on something non-critical. "Click" wrenches don't actually click at low settings. They deflect a bit. More than one person has screwed up a fastener because they did not know this. Edit... according to this list, torque for the header nuts is about 9 ft-lb., or 12 n-m http://faq.ninja250.org/torque/ex250j/ Caveat: Do your own research. Get the factory manual... you'll be glad you did. Aside from the need to be careful with the header nuts, it ain't rocket surgery.

When going to a full system it is a simple thing to remove the fairings and then the exhaust. You just replace the parts. On top the valve cover is a hose . The hose connection plate is for the exhaust. This must be blocked off. You can remove the plate and there are cover plates that will seal this off. If you don't it will backfire when you let off the gas.
RTV won't be good for the exhaust gaskets. Just to much heat. The head is aluminum but uses studs. Just tighten the bolts till they are snug. Warm the bike up and re tighten them

OK, I have 3 torque wrenches, a foot pound clicker, an inch pound clicker, and the old bendy needle deflection kind.
So no anti-sieze on the header bolts then if they use plugs. If they vibrate out though I'm going with the thread lock. The kit didn't come with a spring puller so I'll have to make my own, probably from a coat hanger. |
