focin dealers

Bought my k7 gixxer early in the summer.
Kept getting Fi light on dash, take it back, they say it's.the arrow pipes I have fitted. Check this out no mention of errors fitting cans. They sold me the cans !
I tell them that the light kept coming on before I fitted the cans and decat pipe. I explain the exhaust valve in headers squeaks and should be checked. They say no won't be that.
I check myself and it seemed stiff and cables needed a lube. All is well for a while then error light on again.
Book dealer and he said it's the valve, well l knew that. He sorts any fault codes and adjusts the valve. Light goes off for a while then back again.
On my investigation the bastard thing stuck again. And because the mechanic put loads of slack in cables they weren't working the valve.
I get it working again and get rid of fault light.
I then do research on the gixxer forum. The valve in the headers is to cut down noise and nothing else. So off with the cables and servo 
And careful snipping of a wire to ECU and no error code or annoying light. The bike runs better too as the valve stays open now permanent and isn't playing silly buggers anymore.
The dealer could of of let me know he could'nt fix it instead of leaving it so the cables weren't working the valve, leaving me thinking it was

I Think the gen2 exup valve is also only to cut down the noise levels...

If i remember right the FZ1 gen2 exup valve is also only to cut down the noise levels...

So I can bin it from my gen2 and save myself the same issue??? which wire do I cut????
 
Thanks
 
But yes foccin dealers, I use a mixture of a local lad Sean at Roy Jervis Ripley; and then CMC if I think yam should do it for free or if they are cheaper (tyres and pre paid servicing)

I'm sure you bin it when you fit end can to gen 2 , valve on the can, don't know if you snip a wire though
