Exup Eliminator...Its finally available

Graves Motorsports EXUP Eliminator. Simple plug-and-play application allows the removal of the EXUP valve and motor without setting the dreaded Check Engine light when using a full racing exhaust. Furthers the weight savings after EXUP removal and allows for a cleaner appearance. including: 2002-2008 R1, 2006-2009 R6, 2008-2009 WR250X/R, 2006-2009 FZ1 ELY-U-EX $64.95 http://www.gravesport.com/Products/images/ELY-U-EX.jpg

Is that for the 04-06 model?

Disregard i checked your website it fits my bike.

how much does the exup weigh, or how much weight can we expect to lose for the $64.95? I'd love to take mine off and toss it.

F-in A, I am getting ready to buy a full stainless system from graves for my 07 R1 with a Power Commander and I was not looking forward to having that engine light turning on. In another note, is there a discount if you buy a full system and the plug-in at the same time?:)

Is that for the 04-06 model? Absolutely, including: 2002-2008 R1, 2006-2009 R6, 2008-2009 WR250X/R, 2006-2009 FZ1 Thanks, Taige http://wwwgravesport.com

how much does the exup weigh, or how much weight can we expect to lose for the $64.95? I'd love to take mine off and toss it. It is a little over a pound of weight savings on just about all of the models. ..however I think you will agree that there are benefits to this Exup eliminator that are far more important than the lbs of weight saving (even though every pound counts). (1) Just the simple fact that I know there is a 2"x4" motor bolted to my bike that is not performing any function whats so ever drives me crazy. On my R6 the servo is found behind the rear shock and is easily seen. It is in a vinyl pouch that is loosely wrapped around it like a flour tortilla, barely hiding its mechanical parts. Its a visible eye soar and the ONLY reason I had left it on was because it is better that a code on my dash. (2) Even if you have removed the cables off of the motor, it is still It is plugged into the ECU and is still turning its motor everytime you stop and start, with no clue that you have disconnected the exup valve. Now even though it is pulling very little voltage it is still taking voltage away from the motorcycle. This might not be a ton of voltage but again, why give that away for no reason. Now you have- - removed 1 lbs of weight (the exup eliminator weighs 0.2 lbs and is about the size of a Junior High kids thumb....easily hidden) - given more voltage back to the motorcycle - and removed the unsightly mechanical burrito (a.k.a Exup servo motor) and made your motorcycle that much cleaner and clutter free vehicle. All together this little black box performs some big improvements. Thanks, Taige http://www.gravesport.com/cgi-bin/shopper?preadd=action&key=ELY_U-EX

very nice, shame i already chopped my plug outta there.. no going back to factory for me. :)

is there any way the exup valve can make your bike work improperly?

is there any way the exup valve can make your bike work improperly? If you are referring to the Eliminator or the servo itself? If you were to drop it into the throttle boddies with the motorcycle running it could quite possibly have a negative effect ;-) Seriously....there is nothing that I can think would be a direct problem to the motorcycle. Basically it would have the same chance of making the bike work improperly as the Ex-up servo motor would and Im sure Yamaha has covered there end on that. Overall the bike will not only be just fine..... but better. Now the Exup valve itself....the only negative effects it can have that I am aware of are (1) They are extremely heavy (2) They draw voltage from the motorcycle (3) It is one more mechanical part that can fail and I have heard of them sticking on more than one occasion (4) They are bulky and clutter the bike up. The simplicity of a well build full exhaust is just so much more pleasing in the way it looks and runs. Thanks, Taige Thanks, Taige

On a separate note, a large number of these have already been sold and are running around on the street and track with happy owners. We have gotten calls on three of the units failing to clear the engine code 18. These seem to be limited to the R1. We have traced these faults down to three primary issues: 1) Running the bike for some length of time without a servo motor prior to installing the EXUP eliminator. 2) A dirty/fouled wiring harness connector not being cleaned before installation. 3) Low system voltage, due to failing reg/rec or poor battery quality (or simply accidentally leaving the bike in the on position at a bike night). If possible, please avoid the above scenarios. If anyone should experience a failure with the EXUP Eliminator unit, please contact Taige with as much info as possible so we can make sure everything gets worked out quickly.

Hey Beau, Has Graves, had any other intermittent problems with the unit. I'm currently in contact with Taige and all i can do is purchase another unit and then get refund for the first unit or just send in my unit and wait for it to get checked out. On saturday I took my bike to the shop and it checked out all clear on the electrical system. Have you heard of any other problem that we as R1 owner should know about your product? Thank you in advance

Hello Taige / Beau, Do you guys have anyone selling your kit in the UK or do i have to order from you guys over there?

Hello Taige / Beau, Do you guys have anyone selling your kit in the UK or do i have to order from you guys over there? We have a good distributor over there. Get in touch with Paul @ Race Performance Parts. He'll get you what you need. Beau

Will do, and thanks :)

Hello Taige / Beau, Do you guys have anyone selling your kit in the UK or do i have to order from you guys over there? Race Performance Parts U.K. sales@raceperformanceparts.co.uk Ask for Paul. He will take care of you with great pricing and service. Thanks, Taige

Thank you in advance Did you get my email today regarding the OEM supplier? He is good and can get you the Rec/reg for a really great price. Make sure one of those are for sure the problem and not anything else. If you need anything else. Let me now. Taige

Thanks for the info Taige. The email address is sales@raceperformanceparts.co.uk Just thought i'll let you know :lol AHHHH....I was testing you and you did wonderful. Well done ;-)

Just got mine today. A little dielectric compound and 10 minutes and all is well. Works the beans, thanks. No more tape on the speedo!!

30 miles and my r1 show code 18 :(

Yes me to all i did was zip tie it tight plug into plug & no more code 18 it seems to vibrate lose / appart this fixed mine hope this helps Graves rocks

Just got mine today. A little dielectric compound and 10 minutes and all is well. Works the beans, thanks. No more tape on the speedo!! Update: Code 18 and the tape is back on.:mad: Still waiting on a fix.:dunno

Update: Code 18 and the tape is back on.:mad: Still waiting on a fix.:dunno If your 02-08 R1 is having this issue with the ELY not curing the codes.... please contact me over here at Graves. I have a fix for this that is tested and complete and will take care of these specifc R1 issues. Thanks, Taige taige@gravesport.com

So i have an 08 and on day two mine failed and popped code 18 what can i do?

So i have an 08 and on day two mine failed and popped code 18 what can i do? So far these ELY have been flawless on the R6, Fz1, VMax, WR250 but as you guys are quite aware, we were finding a number of R1's that are having this issue with the code remaining on. We had to actually search for a couple of local bikes that were still producing the code after (ELY) install, just so we could figure out the specific issue and resolve it. This has been a tricky one to figure out. Electronics can have so many variables that can affect the outcome. We have an easy DIY revision for these that has been tested and proven to work for everyone that has an issue with there R1 still throwing a code. When looking at the plug side of the ELY you will see 3 pins on top and one on bottom. The 3rd pin on the top/right must be removed. This opens the voltage tolerance up to a point that these specifc R1's will work great with the eliminator. Graves will be manufacturing a second run of these with the internals modified strictly to accommodate the 02-08 R1 but for now this will allow the ex-up eliminator to work perfectly on your R1. You can email me for a diagram on this revision if you need it. Thanks, Taige taige@gravesport.com

What is the year and make? What is the voltage being produce on the motorcycle. While it is running? I finally got around to checking the voltage. 07 R1. 13.2v before starting. 14.4v at 5000 rpm.

is this plug work on an R1 yet?

i did the plug "mod" and it all works now... no more code 18!
