Well, as some of you may know, Lytehouse recently got a new bike and I have been returning the FZ1 to stock. Part of that process has been to remove the MIVV exhaust and put the stocker back on. Unfortunately, that has not gone without some complications. I've got it all back together, and re-connected the EXUP cables, but upon doing a test ride, I've now got a check engine light showing up and it is throwing code 18 - EXUP servo motor (stuck). I can move the valve by hand at the exhaust, so it is not stuck. I've read that if the EXUP cables are too tight, that can cause the error, so I have since disconnected the cable at the exhaust. I went for another quick ride, and the check engine light is still on. So my questions are:
First, should the check engine light clear if it was the result of tight cables and I disconnected them, or once the error is set, does it have to be cleared by the dealer? Is there a way for me to clear error codes?
Second, since the check engine light did not clear with the cables loose at the exhaust, will disconnecting the cables at the EXUP box under the seat get me anywhere? I was hoping that the EXUP motor would be turning and pulling the cables (even though the exhaust end of the cable was hanging loose) and the fault might clear.
Third, What's the likihood that I somehow messed up EXUP motor reconnecting the cables?
Any thoughts on how to proceed are appreciated.
Thanks
