Here's a company that makes a device that fools the ECU into thinking the servo is still connected. https://www.skutr.net/exhaust-valves-and-servo-motors-explained/ They also have an explanation of what the exhaust flap is for. Thanks great post kioot [emoji41] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello Blueboy. From whom did you order your headlight protectors? I tried a couple of websites, but had no luck getting one for my 2016 1200RT. Since I’m in Canada as well, a Canadian vendor is preferrable givien shipping, duty,...etc. Nippy Norman’s  It took about 2 weeks great price!! Se...
