CEL with 200 miles on the clock in the middle of nowhere

Okay then, when I purchased the bike, the first thing I did was to fit the Scorpion can and ordered the decat. Once it arrived I just followed the video below and did the same. I was hoping to remove the servo complete with cables still attached but there are no adjusters at the servo end so I had to remove the cables from the valve end first that then allows the cable sleeves to be pulled from the servo to unhook the ends of the cables. I ran it like this for a week before my servo eliminator arrived. I then removed the rubber band and unplugged the loom to allow the servo eliminator to be plugged in.
My scanner is the Autel Maxi Scan (which, along with the manual, you can find HERE in the states) but I lost my booklet a long time ago. I'd just google the codes as they are universal codes as all scanners will read the same code numbers.
Regarding the space under the seat, where the rubber strap is located in line with the seat hooks which hold it down to the subframe which is pretty much above the servo. They sure designed the maximum use of space under there.

On the subject of codes, I recently purchased an Audi TT 225 which had had a vermin infestation when the guy was incarcerated so I picked it up for a very good price as the wiring was chewed and the turbo no longer worked. The codes suggested various valves were open circuit or short to ground when in reality I found the fuse had popped bringing up 3 codes so don't necessarily assume the valve is shorted to earth. This may be just something simple as a comms error at some point and the fact it has remained clear could be good news.
My bike had its 600 miles service yesterday and the mech informed me that there were 4 codes retained in the ecu which were not severe codes to flag the MIL but monitors. One of which was when the bike failed to start one morning it logged it but when I cycled the ignition and retried if fired right up. This was logged. Another was the use of the servo buddy but he confirmed this is not an issue.

If you want to check the operation of the servo just disconnect the cables at the exhaust end and remove them from the servo, you can then start the bike and rev it with the seat removed and watch its operation. It doesn't just open and close, this thing actually opens to various degrees with higher revs. With the torque these things have, I don't think you'd even notice its interference. They install these things mainly for noise pollution at the lower rev range any minor HP variations are not going to be felt at your butt dyno

On to your Q's:

1. Is your bike stock? I've read of people removing the EXUP, but only as part of a 3/4 exhaust install. But exactly that crossed my mind, since it'll be a hassle to get it fixed, but my bike is fully stock, and plan to keep it that way. And without the EXUP, it reportedly loses torque, no?

The bike is factory stock aside from the Leo Vince baffled decat and can and removal of the servo, it is not mapped. I have noticed no loss of torque to speak of and the sound is awesome and but still slightly quieter than the usual decat without the inline baffle.

2. Do you plan to throw your EXUP servo motor away??? I'd gladly take it so I can fix my bike myself. Ha ha. Let me know, and I'd pay for the shipping. I might put a want-to ad if you want to hang on to yours.

Sorry dude, I keep my cycle parts to revert back to standard when I sell my bikes to maximise my profits.

3. How the heck do you manage to fit the tire repair kit under the seat? Mine has millimeters clearance, for what I can tell. But let me scrutinize your seat vs mine, and give it a shot. I got a second rubber band that thought was a spare for the battery. Is that the one you used? Don't remember seeing where to hook it up, but will check my seat shortly.

The seat has a hollow on the rear of the seat pan with 2 hooks to retain the rubber strap, this is where my tyre kit lives you can see the black vinyl pouch to the left of my piccy.

4. Out of curiosity, how extensive was your EXUP removal? Did you remove the cables too? And how about the butterfly, and the cap on top of the exhaust with 3 bolts? Thanks brother.

Yep, cables were removed after the cat was dropped down and the servo left to do its thing until my servo eliminator arrived when I removed the servo to create extra space. The butterfly came out with the cat as part of the cat assembly. It is now living in the garage on the high shelf with the cables reattached in the event that the bike gets returned to standard to be sold at a later date and my servo inside my plastic box of bits removed. Although I won't be selling this for a long time. I love this thing.

Hope this helps, sorry for the long post. Any more info required just shout out.

Decat video was here.

I know when I had my 98 R1 that had the 7k fault on start up as the needle used to sweep to 7k on startup. Turned out that even though the servo was free to turn, the bracket which attached it to the exhaust had rusted through.

Glad yours is an easy fix.

The other video worth a watch is Ritchies below. He shows the cable removal at around 4:46.

Good news. Took bike for a ride today, quickly revved it past 7K on a couple of shifts, and no CEL. Looks like the small adjustment I made to one of the EXUP cables was enough to prevent any binding, and no more CEL. If it ever comes back when it gets hot again, I'd reduce the tension on both cables a hair more and that should permanently do it. I'm also going to lube the valve every 5K miles, but not going to do it now. Hope this helps future members that also get this CEL early in the bike's life. Hope everybody had a great weekend.
