Exhaust System

At approximately 2000 miles, or in preparation of off season storage, it is a good idea to check the exhaust system
for wear or damage. To inspect, allow the engine and exhaust system to cool completely. Open the hood and
inspect the muffler and pipes for cracks or damage. Check for weak or missing retaining springs or damper/sup-
port grommets.
WARNING
Exhaust system temperatures can exceed 900° F (500° C). Serious burns may occur if this inspection is per-
formed without allowing adequate time for the exhaust system to cool. Never perform this procedure with the
engine running.
