Honda CBR 1000 RR Fireblade 2008 – 2009 PDF Installation Manual

Congratulations on the purchase of your new TaylorMade underbelly exhaust kit for your Fireblade. Your new exhaust is fabricated from thin wall stainless steel so will never rust. The black finish is a baked on ceramic coating and only requires washing with soap and water to keep clean.

Any competent mechanic with basic tools can install the kit but if you have any doubts in your mechanical abilities entrust installation to an experienced workshop. Time to fit is approximately 2 hours depending on familiarity. All directions are given as if you are sat on the bike: e.g. Left = gear change side. Fitting is straightforward but please do read the instructions carefully, as they will help you get the job done quicker and more easily.

Preparation
1. Remove the rider’s seat and lower cowl. Please see pages 104-106 of the Owner’s Manual for details of removing the lower cowl.

2. Disconnect the exhaust valve servo motor located under the rider’s seat. First, unclip the wiring connector from the under tray by depressing the tab under the connector sliding it to the left. You can now separate the connector.

3. Remove the bolt securing the servo motor to the under tray. Pull the motor off its post and disconnect the cable.

4. Pull the cable through from below, replace the servo motor, reconnect the wiring and clip the connector back in to place.

5. Remove stock muffler by:

a) loosen the slip joint to header clamp
b) remove rear mounting bolt from rider’s footrest hanger
c) detach the footrest hanger
d) rotate the muffler to one side and pull it off the headers

6. Remove heat shield from the back of the footrest by taking off the small bolt at the front. (careful: the bolts are quite soft headed and require care when removing.) Undo the rear bolt which has a nut on the back.
