This document provides installation instructions for the LeoVince 15248C Slip-On LV-10 Carbon exhaust system. It is designed for the Aprilia RSV4 1100 / Factory and Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 / Factory. Professional installation is highly recommended. Ensure the exhaust system has cooled completely before beginning any work to prevent burns or damage to heat-sensitive components.
Components List
The kit includes the following main components:
- Silencer (LV-10 Carbon)
- Link pipe
- Fitting kit (screws, washers, spacers, brackets)
- Heat shield
Installation Instructions
Follow these steps to install the exhaust system:
- Preparation: If present, remove the complete fairing. Remove the original silencer(s).
- Valve Cable Removal: Remove the two valve actuation cables. Remove the two fixing screws, then rotate the servomotor 180 degrees to access the non-visible side where the cables are located. Disconnect the connector, remove the cables permanently from the frame, reconnect the connector, and reassemble the servomotor.
- Link Pipe Installation: Check that mating surfaces are clean. Slide the link pipe onto the original header, taking care not to damage the graphite bushing (if supplied). Partially tighten the securing strap.
- Silencer Installation: Slide the Leovince silencer onto the link pipe. Check the alignment of the mounting eyes for the springs and the exhaust outlet. Connect the parts using the provided springs.
- Final Assembly: Fit the clamps to the silencer. Mount spacers, washers, and brackets as shown in the technical drawing. Secure everything by tightening all nuts and bolts.
- Testing: Start the engine, wait a few minutes until it reaches operating temperature, and check for any gas leaks.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity of your exhaust system:
- Break-in Period: During the first kilometers, the exhaust system will settle, and slight gas leakage may occur. After approximately 100 km, check and tighten all fasteners.
- Cleaning: The silencer may be cleaned using gasoline, diesel oil, or alcohol. Do not use any solvents.
- Inspection: Periodically check all brackets, fasteners, and rubber parts for wear and replace them if necessary.
- Discoloration: A change in the color of the silencer is normal due to heat and the nature of the materials used.
