Hi all,my gen1 fazer 1000 had a siezed,butcherd exup valve and housing on it when I bought it 8 months ago.took the parts in to a local engineering company,who gave me the news they were fooked.I looked at buying new, forget that idea have you seen how much they are.a local mate told me the early R1s 98-01 fitted straight in,so I took an ebay gamble and bought a complete set of downpipes with exup valve and all fittings for £30.00.stripped and removed the exup valve cleaned all fittings,fearing the worst it wouldn't fit but only £30.00 down,it fitted straight in.if this is old news to fellow owners soz.but the gamble saved me a fortune on new parts.and the working valve has made a huge difference to the way the bike runs,so there is a benefit to having it working.
cheers Andy.
