New bike no Exup

So regarding your exup vale, the 2 things that EVERYONE will say on here regarding the valve and the cover are -

• replace all 6 exup cover bolts with Titainium, the mild steel ones in there rust and can snap-off in-place.
  
• apply copper grease to ALL bearing serfaces of the cover & valve, every 3-6 months depending on use.
