EXUP Valve Question?

Im curious to know what to lube the internals of the exup valve with? Also is there anythin that i should or shouldnt do when i take the exup valve to bits? Reason i ask is i got this week off and im going to do a few bits and pieces on the bike to keep it in order. Cheers Paul

I just clean the bushing/bearing area with a scotch-brite pad and reassemble. Put never-sieze on the bolts and don't overtighten the cables.

Originally posted by LDHR1 I just clean the bushing/bearing area with a scotch-brite pad and reassemble. Put never-sieze on the bolts and don't overtighten the cables. So theres no need to lube it just keep it clean? Is never-seize like copper-grease?

copper grease is fine, I see you have a 02/03. The easiest way to clean the bushings on that year is to remove the pulleys and insert a long screw in the end of each and spin them with a drill to burnish the bushings, no need to disassemble. Bend the ends of the anti-rattle spring so they line up with each other as shown in the pic. Use the copper grease on all the external pivots and sliding surfaces behind the pulleys.

Thanks very much, i should be able to get through that ok. :thumbup
