The place to come to share your technical expertise, or just find out what the little springy thing is that's just pinged out of sight under the work-bench.
I took my exup valve out as there was a bloody awful rattle when I started up my 1000 ru after a rebuild.
The valve has a worn stem that sits in the bush within the pipe and is causing a rattle.So I removed both and some how dropped the metal bush on a gravel drive
Would you suggest get a new valve and bush or replace bush with a smaller internal ?
They always end up rattling whatever you do.
I would be tempted to just replace the standard bush (i had to replace mine after losing it and it wasn't cheap).
Another alternative is to just remove the exup and blank it off.
Its the Solid bush that sits inside the exhaust opposite side to the pully. its 10mm internal and 16mm external and 12mm wide. Fowlers dont hold stock so any help would be great

It runs so well with the exup so really want to keep it if I can,there is a valve on ebay that looks in better shape than mine so may grab that.
only took 3 days of looking
