Anybody got rid of the EXUP Valve and lived to tell the tale ?

I used to do a lot more work on my own bikes Paul, but now I give myself less opportunity to foc up  :lol
My brother once did a corker - replaced the sump pan on his Z650 for 'reasons', but forgot, or probably didn't know that he needed to take the oil pressure relief valve out of the old one and put it in the new one. Then ran the bike, despite the oil pressure warning light glaring at him accusingly. Much damage done!  :eek


EXUP valves, fortunately, are not on that scale of risk  :lol
