Removal

If the engine has recently been running, the exhaust
system will be hot. Before working on or near the
exhaust system, allow sufficient time for the exhaust
system to cool as touching any part of a hot exhaust
system could cause burn injuries.
Before starting work, ensure the motorcycle is stabilised
and adequately supported. This will help prevent it from
falling and causing injury to the operator or damage to
the motorcycle.
