bypassing exhaust servo ducati 848 (MotoCreations)

so the ducati's have an exhaust valve which unlike older
exup bikes is not for power but instead all about noise
reduction.about 5k it opens.
if you remove the cables you get a cel alarm and to
bypass it you need to buy a full termi system with the
ducati race ECU or you can
buy one of these trick bits



so firstly remove the right hand fairing and the exhaust shield.

under the fairing you will find the exhaust servo



this has to go, unbolt it, unplug it and remove the exhaust cables

the other end of the cables go into the exhaust valve(under the exhaust heat shield),
just take them off.the spring on the valve will hold it
permanently open



now fit the MotoCreations servo eliminator



now put the fairing and heat shield back on as the hard work is now done

as well as added noise you can save some weight bonus

servo and cables



new replacement




and the all important noise test lol



this cost me $162 which is about £100 posted.
its all got a 5 year warranty and I done a lot of reading
about them and have found nothing bad said about them.
