All S&S parts are guaranteed to the original purchaser to be free of
manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for a period of twelve

return authorization number must be obtained from S&S. The parts must
be packaged properly so as to not cause further damage and be returned
prepaid to S&S with a copy of the original invoice of purchase and a detailed

circumstances at the time of failure. If after an evaluation has been made by
S&S and the part was found to be defective, repair, replacement or refund
will be granted.

SAFE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION RULES:
Before installing your new S&S part it is your responsibility to read and
follow the installation and maintenance procedures in these instructions
and follow the basic rules below for your personal safety.
•
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions
and toxic when breathed. Do not smoke. Perform installation in a well
ventilated area away from open flames or sparks.
•
If motorcycle has been running, wait until engine and exhaust pipes
have cooled down to avoid getting burned before performing any
installation steps.
•
Before performing any installation steps disconnect battery to
eliminate potential sparks and inadvertent engagement of starter
while working on electrical components.
•
Read instructions thoroughly and carefully so all procedures are
completely understood before performing any installation steps.
Contact S&S with any questions you may have if any steps are unclear or
any abnormalities occur during installation or operation of motorcycle
with a S&S part on it.
•
Consult an appropriate service manual for your motorcycle for correct
disassembly and reassembly procedures for any parts that need to be
removed to facilitate installation.
•
Use good judgment when performing installation and operating
motorcycle. Good judgment begins with a clear head. Don’t let
alcohol, drugs or fatigue impair your judgment. Start installation
when you are fresh.
•
Be sure all federal, state and local laws are obeyed with the installation. •
For optimum performance and safety and to minimize potential
damage to carb or other components, use all mounting hardware that
is provided and follow all installation instructions.
•
Motorcycle exhaust fumes are toxic and poisonous and must not be
breathed. Run motorcycle in a well ventilated area where fumes can
dissipate.

S&S parts are designed for high performance, closed course, racing
applications and are intended for the very experienced rider only. The
installation of S&S parts may void or adversely affect your factory warranty.
In addition such installation and use may violate certain federal, state, and
local laws, rules and ordinances as well as other laws when used on motor
