EXVL Error Code

[Mhanis]

My bike is an '09 Monster with SC Project slip ons and the Evap Canister removed. Stock ECU, no mods to the exhaust valve.

When I bought the bike new in '10 I would occasionally get the EXVL error code. It was so random and infrequent I could never get it to the dealership for them to read it. Then it stopped doing it all together. I have not seen it in a year or more. All of a sudden it started to pop up again! I have had it maybe 5 times since Sunday.

Any guesses?

check to make sure the valve isn't sticking and/or your cable plug is loose.

I will take a look at the cable Raux, but let me ask this: Isn't the valve supposed to be "open" while riding? (By riding I mean actually in gear and rolling down the road). That is when it (the light) seems to be coming on, I'll be rolling down the highway and look down and the light will be on and it wasn't when I got on the highway.

Just weird. Since it is raining here today I didn't ride to work so I'll look at the cable this evening.

all these things and that the actuating cable from the servo to the flapper is correctly adjusted.

Or better still, piss the whole thing off and get a Duc.EE.

or just disconnect the motor cable and leave the electrical harness connected.  No more errors.

If you are asking if I have done this, no I have not.

 I did it and it worked.

I did this 2 years ago when doing my tail chop and I've watched all the posts since then about EEs and such.  No matter how many times I explain it nobody ever believes it

and you still have a 2lb anchor in the tail of your bike

 I added the Duc.ee after a bit so that I could remove the hardware.
My bike is still at the shop waiting for the estimate to be written so I don't have to worry about error codes.

The weight of the motor may severely affect the performance of the bike. The best part though is that the 150 bucks or so I didn't spend weighs almost nothing folded up in my wallet

you still run the charcoal canister as well?

just wondering how much emissions/useless tech you are carrying on your bike 

[cyberswine]

Charcoal canister went, reflashed last winter and yeah, the dreaded exhaust motor finally went too at that point.  I now have the fastest Monster in town providing I remember to go to the bathroom before I ride to decaffeineate and further lighten the load
