Note

 After working on the exhaust system, ensure that the system is not
under tension and that there is sufficient clearance to the bodywork.
 If necessary, loosen double and single clamps and align silencers
and exhaust pipe so that sufficient clearance is maintained to the
bodywork and the support rings are evenly loaded → Chapter.
 The flexible joint in the front exhaust pipe must not be bent more
than 10° - otherwise it can be damaged.
 Renew seals, gaskets and self-locking nuts.
