Exhaust Servo Buddy

The Woodcraft 42-1450 Servo Buddy is designed to address the common challenge of dealing with the factory exhaust valve and servo motor system when switching to an aftermarket exhaust or when wanting to secure the exhaust valve in the open position. This "plug and play" device utilizes OEM wire harness connectors, ensuring a secure connection without the need for cutting wires, which means your bike can easily be reverted to its stock configuration. By completely eliminating the servo motor, valve, and associated cables, the Servo Buddy not only offers considerable weight savings and frees up valuable space but also enhances reliability. It prevents common failure points such as stripped servo motor gears or the motor burning out. A significant benefit is the elimination of FI (fuel injection) servo motor fault codes that typically appear when the stock exhaust is removed. This ensures that the FI light only illuminates for genuine engine issues, not for an exhaust valve code. For proper installation and to avoid a stored fault code, it's crucial to install the Servo Buddy before turning the bike on. Always confirm vehicle fitment before purchasing. The manufacturer also notes that this product is legal in California only for racing vehicles that may never be used, registered, or licensed for use upon a highway.
