I am looking for an exup valve for my mates fzs 1000. His is bent... Cheers.
If it's broken, it's not fixed.

They can be straightened. I put the shaft of mine is a drill at very low speed and I could see how bent it was. Slow tugs on the valve will straighten, take your time!

They can definitely be straightened, just give it some thought as to how you’re going to do it and most importantly, take your time. Good luck.

+1 on that, its easy. Just a variable speed drill and a rubber mallet.
