Here what your saying noggy, to play devils advocate with the guys that have removed the exup and not ridden a bike with the ECU and exup attached, they may be surprised and feel more of a difference. I'd even go as far as to say if i ever meet up with any of you for a foccer rideout I'd be happy to swap FZs for a short period to gauge the difference.
I haven't got a problem with other peoples theories on the exup, its healthy discussions like this that make a forum decent, with everyone sharing their views and experiences. The OP can then make an informed decision based on that! Based on Geoff at Hill tops advice (tuned Chris Walkers ZX10R shortly before mine) he appears to know what he's doing.
So back to the OP... decisions decisions!

Between reading what are a lot of opinions on the web, and what Hilltop have recommended (just google them to see what people have to say about him) I went with his expert advice. I guess the only way to see if the exup would make a difference would have been to run the bike with and without the cables attached on their dyno. That wasnt done as the tuner said ideally to have the exup in operation. Thats what o have and should you care to check the results on the link i posted above you'll see the before and after of graph 4 (i think). Massive improvement which can be felt when riding the bike. Each to there own and its something for the OP to think about. Personally I'll keep my cables attached as it rides beautifully now.

Personally i respectfully disagree with you. Since the ECU remap the kick in the lower rev range is definitely noticeable, maybe its just a coincidence that there is a noticeable improvement on my bike in the area where the exup operates, although i think not. I have the benefit of riding the FZ before and after the remap with the exup in operation on both counts. I'll be keeping my cables attached. I don't wish to start yet another debate on the exup as its been done to death over the years, i just want the OP to be aware of the different experiences we've, with my personal advice being to retain the exup and if possible, get the ECU remap.

According to the tuner that did my ECU reflash he reckons they are more than an emissions thing. Im no expert but he talked about exhaust back pressure and resonance etc. Heres a link to another FZ forum I'm a member of You'll see my power graphs and just to point out to you after the remap youll notice a hike on power/torque between just below 4k and up towards 6k. This is apparently where the exup operates. You'll read loads of different opinions online, my opinion is that its there for a reason and not just to regulate noise.
Heres the link bud:

Got my FZ1 ECU re flash at Hilltop Motorcycles in Leicester. Give Geoff at Hilltop a call mate, the reflash has given my FZ a kick up the arse (not that it needed it in the first place!) I had it done mainly to smooth out throttle response, it did this as well as give me 147rwhp and 76lb/ft torque at the rear wheel, as well as raise the limiter and remove restrictions in the first three gears.

Wow. That black/orange tricked up FZ looks fecking awesome! Ive been looking at powdercoating my gold wheels black, although those carbon look wheels look fantastic! How much to have both wheels done? And is some kind of laquer applied over top to protect the finish? I'd be seriously interested dependant on cost for the wheels.

Hello! Some of the bosses family are in Ipswich in "the crofts" estate. I go there occasionally. Once the better weather comes back round if I ever ride that way I'll look to give you a shout!

Its for a gen 2, the link above is pretty much exactly what I've ordered, although with p+p mine was £1.50 cheaper (every little helps I guess)!
Just returned home from work to find a "left it at your neighbours" slip from parcel force. Will update once fitted and (hopefully) working.
Still can't fathom what bentcthe mounting ear on the original caliper though...

I have ordered a replacement caliper, although am still waiting on it! Will let you know the outcome once I havd the replacement fitted bud

Cheers bud, bought one on ebay. Should sort out my issue and I'll have a rear brake again! Cheers for everyones input, just a shame that a bend of 1mm ruins a perfectly decent caliper  oh well I guess its just one of those things!

I shall have a look bud. Thanks for your help its much appreciated.

Much to my dismay I've spent much of today trying to figure out why I had no pressure in my rear brake after swapping out old brake pads for new. I eventually found that the upper sliding bolt is bent or not running straight, due to the caliper mounting ear (if that makes sense) which the sliding bolt goes through is slightly bent! Are these things made of putty? I cannot remember a single occasion where I feel I've placed enough force against the sliding bolts to bend the caliper like that.
Does anyone know how I can straighten it? Or is it a case of new caliper?
