hi there ive recently had my EXUP valve seize up on me and whilst removing the header i also noticed the the cables are frayed and in bad need of replacing im just wandering if there is a special name for the cables so i can buy the correct one and ive also been told that the R1 cables fit and are cheaper to buy can any one clarify this for me please
many thanks paul

sorry for the plug but theres a how to over on Exup1000.co.uk which shows you haw to make your own cables ...its easy to do too and very cheap compared to the £35 for the OEM items

99-01 r1 exup are the exact as what is for the fzr1000. I have them on my 94 1000.

Can you point out a link? I spent a good half-hour rummaging around, with lots of distractions (sigh)

I remember it was Nuggitt who did the feature and have saved it to my HD...problem is....my main PC died before I went away on hols nad havent had time to build the new one yet as I only got back yesterday. I'll contact Nuggitt to see if he remembers where it is or what the post was called

i'll get back asap

here you go... Theres no official link to it yet as i've not finished the section but thought to host the files ready due to alot of related questions

thank you ill have a look at the link thanks

well thanks for the link thats perfect just another quick question how do i know if mines an RU model and where do the cables go to from the exup valve on the header to ????? many thanks paul

badger - the cables go from the pulley on the header up to the servomotor, behind the left tail panel near the front of the seat.

Stig - I rummaged through your tech talk directory - that's some interesting stuff there! If you don't have something comparable in the works, you might want to include a link to (IMO) the best EXUP maintenance site out there; http://www.cartestsoftware.com/fz1/exupmaintenance.html

thanks ive ordered the new cables etc and ive managed to free up my exup valve so there pleny more work to do now the link on how to do it is perfect thanks again

The RU model has upside down forks as standard and an extra section of casting as part of the main frame where the seat attaches




The earlier R model 89-90 has the twin round headlights and right way upforks....but some folk add the extra USD forks an upgrade but the frame has less casting at the seat mount



Don, I was going to add that link for servicing the exup valve but not had time to complete things. Its all a task for the dark cold nights over winter.

ideal thanks stig mines an RU model then cheers
