The EXUP is the one thing that I don't like on my bike, so many bikes do without any form of 'power valve' in the exhaust, to my mind it just limits your choice of aftermarket exhaust systems to pretty much zero, and all the shit they can give when they seize up etc, is it really worth it ? I think not.
They work fine if serviced regularly, just like the bike itself

That they do buddy but the truth is lots of folk don't service them (doesn't the manual say they don't need servicing??) and when you do have to service them there stands a good chance all the bolts will snap off getting the valve out which is a nightmare, got the tee shirt I'm afraid when I first bought my gen1. I even bought a second hand set of header pipes as spares. Like I said before plenty of bikes out there do without very successfully, Yams own XJR1300 springs to mind
