Anyone need a servo motor for their 929 or 954? It can get rid of that pesky red MIL and FI light (if your gears are stripped in your motor). I needed one and ended up with two, so if you need a new used servo motor and don't want to pay $175 from Ron Ayers or $150 for the used one on ebay, here's your chance! It is off of a 954 with about 8k miles. I'll email pics upon request.

Some words of wisdom:

Why I hear you say?

It seems (and this is straight from Honda UK) that in some cases it is found that the plastic gears located in the servo motor can shear their teeth and as the gears will no longer turn the positioning sensor into the correct position it needs to be in it will allow the motor inside the servo to carry on rotating and thus making the ECU fail and the only course of repair is a new ECU!

I,ve found out the hard way ,so as to warn others here is a very quick way of checking that it is infact operating.

With the ignition OFF reach under the left hand side of the tank/frame and you can feel a DRUM with cables attached to it,Turn ignition ON whilst touching the DRUM,you should feel it move into the central position,START engine and blip the throttle just over 3000 rpm,the drum should rotate 90 degrease and then return back to original position,then take the rev,s up to 3000 and just past 8000 rpm and you will feel it rotate one way and then the other way,and as the rev,s return to idle so will the DRUM return back to the central position.

At this point I might just add that as long as the servo motor rotates as above it will only indicate that the servo motor is working, You may have a snapped cable at the EGCV valve and might result in your engine running rough or down on power and the only other way is to remove the cable cover at the EGCV valve and watch them operate as you blip the throttle

If it functions like this all is OK as far as operation.........BUT

How many of us truly service our bikes correctly,not many I,m sure if we,re honest

The cables to the Valve are known to semi-seize(good indication is that at the cable adjuster the cable gets bent out of alignment causing the cable to drag internally putting a load on the very fragile plastic teeth in the servo motor)Take it from me checking as to weather the cables are free is a right pain in the bum but a ECU is a fortune to replace.

If you do your own servicing then allow time to check the cables,it,s worth it.

How I checked my cables

Make sure it,s a cold engine for a start (cus you,ll burn them fingers)Remove the left hand side fairings (It,s possible to do the check with them on but a pain)
Follow the Headers from the Cylinder Head down till you come to the first join(The EGCV valve is here)Remove Chrome cover (2 Bolts)
This will expose another cable drum with 2 cables attached.The Drum is secured to the valve with a 6mm nut,remove the nut to release the drum,Where the cables are secured by means of a bkt and 2 more bolts ,remove these and the drum and cables will be sitting in your hands.
At this point you need to check one cable at a time and suggest you know where the servo motor is cus you'll need to make sure that the outer part of the cable returns back into the slot it came from,To check if the cable is free just work the outer part of the cable back n forth along the inner part of the cable,should move freely but if in dought I,d spend those penny's and get a couple of new ones.

Setting Up of the cables is covered in section 5.95 of the workshop manual and theres also a section in 21.1 that will tell you of the operation .

Take it from me YOU REALLY NEED TO CHECK THESE

Forgot about price. I paid $55 for this one, and I would really just like to get my money back. Pm me if interested.
