I've been interested in the exup issue since the day I got my thou new 7 years ago (2/11/04). Bike was Ivanised (slip on kit) by Mike(Falcon 269) in June 05 and he kindly serviced the exup for me at the same time. The bike has been used pretty constantly since then and the exup hasn't been touched, just short of 50k miles on the clock now, I've had the 7k error twice since then but only on very cold winter mornings, error disappears after a mile or so. I'd be interested in any comments regarding this. Very few greases will withstand the temperatures of exhaust gases that discolour stainless headers in a short space of time. I know my bike is tatty beyond belief but I fix it when it's broke (almost never) and do all the maintenance that Yamaha say I should.
