Have been doing some reading up on this issue recently, I have some comments. Yoshimura don't say much, apart from cleaning with an 'automotive soap' and repacking. This last point ties in with stuff I've read about exposure to high temps having an effect on CF, as failure to repack causes heat transfer to the CF wrap. UV light is also an issue, which is why CF products in aviation, boating etc. are finished with a suitable paint cover. The snag we have is that they are largely fitted for the 'bling' effect, not neccesarily to save weight or gain strength.
Best advice therefore that I can come up with is:
* Ensure fittings are kept suitably tightened (to avoid flexing etc.)
* Washed without solvents and cleaned with a little polish, both Pledge and Mr Sheen have featured in what I've read
* Repack the muffler at suitable intervals (opinion varies on the interval)
* Keep your ride in a shed/garage, as that will help protect the paint, tyres and the CF components.
