I'm guessing mine is focced as I have no servo noise and just spoken to the previous owner who said he had done nothing to the exup (which means that is at least 6 years and 60k miles - 70k miles and 10 years if the first owner did nothing). I guess if it was like that from when I got it I would know no difference.
BUT, I'm not getting any rev counter warning to say the exup is not working. IS there anyway to check without stripping it down? Anyone in Sussex that has a Gen1 with a working exup want to ride my bike to compare?
I'm going to start by covering penetrating oil over the bolts for a week or 2. As this will be on the hot pipe, can I use any penetrating oil (I have GT85, 3in1 and WD40 at home)? Is just spraying or covering once a day the way to go? Anything else which may help the bolts come out? I don't mind a mess and autosolling it later.
Any links to decent replacement bolts or does anyone know the size?
TIA
99 Yamaha R1 EXUP valve operation
replacement bolts are M5 x 0.75 x 12mm

Get a bag of stainless cap screws from screwfix and cut em down to size.
Once you've got stainless cap screws in and with a dod of copper ease on em you'll never have a problem getting them back out. And they cost buttons.

PlusGas is a top notch release oil.
Tri-Flow is good too.
Stick it on every day and keep using the bike for a week or so. With a bit of luck they'll come out. There is an element of luck with the OE screws as they do seem to have been manufactured by Cadbury.

Mine is half welded now. And has a few screws. If the bike is nearer 10years I would not bet on screws to be undone with penetrating oil. Mine had allen head bolts that rust inside out...
Re: ferkin exup question ....again lol - Ghoti - 03-03-12
I really don't want to gloat but feel I must.
70k mile 10 year old bike. Exup not touched for at least 52k miles and 5 years, probably more. 2 days of of plusgas on bolts.
Bolts came off no-problems and Exup works just as in the vid and cables within operating levels.
Stroke the Fazer.

Mine had allen head bolts that rust inside out...when i went to remove my exup valve there was no signs of the heads of the bolts,just a small dome of metal left,it only took a couple of minutes with a dremel to get the valve out,and mine was well worn,it was easier and cheaper to buy repacement downpipes,i managed to get the complete exup valve from america for £50 posted and in as new condition,i got the cables for £15 and the downpipes cost me £90 localy,my downpipes not have only the remains of the bolts but the rear bracket has broke off
Re: ferkin exup question ....again lol - ghostbiker - 05-03-12
well all this talk of exups :eek is normaly my que for poping out and giving it a service lol.
Exup serviced, chain adjusted, rear wheel cleaned and a quick chain clean = 30 mins
On a side note i notice ppl still offten have issues getting the SS bolts for the exup and cover.
As i said before i normaly have a few sets knocked up ready for the BMF shows so will pop out today and grab a few sets. my sets come with all 6 bolts (3 one size and 3 the other size) and spring washers (i find it helps as you dont need to do up the bolts very tight that way) all in SS
normaly £3 a set but will see if they have changed the price since i last did it.
and YES :rolleyes you can get them cheaper your self and NO :rolleyes im not trying to sell them as such here. but if you want a set and cant source them yourself let me know, or just catch me at the BMF show's on the club stand

The photos of the cables and servo in this link posted by Ghostbiker certainly aren't for a gen 1 fazer.
