I bought myself an RR1 fireblade a week or so ago 
its fantastic and already loving it to bits. I'm finding it easier to ride smoothly and quickly than any of my previous bikes. Its lovely. Anyway I thought I'd drop by, say hello and introduce myself. I've owned a few bikes over the years including a Honda BROS 650, Suzi SV650, Honda VTR a Honda VFR, Triumph speed triple 1050 and now the Fireblade CBR929. Currently I'm living down on the south coast of the UK and I ride something like 300 miles per week all year round. Love that blade and hoping its going to last me a good few years. I do most of my servicing and repairs myself although I'm a little out of practice as my last bike was new so I tried to maintain the service history in the log book
Now this morning on the way to work I got an FI error code, 35. From looking at the forums here I can see its an HTEV servo problem, I don't hear a whining sound (as if its stuck) but I can hear a click when I rev the bike. I'm thinking maybe the valve is stuck closed in the exhaust? So I have a couple of questions
1) is the HTEV servo really necessary? Could I just remove the airbox flap, open the exhaust valve and remove the cables to the servo? Will doing this cause any damage long-term?
2) If its just an intermittent fault how do you clear it? On my Triple for example if a fault occurred it would keep giving you the error code until the bike had been run to normal running temperature 3 times. If the fault was no longer present the error would clear and not be shown any more. I only ask as I believe the bike has been standing for some time and maybe the valve was stuck but has since freed up.
cheers
Mark.
