BM first thing you should try in the mean time is run half a bottle of injector cleaner through it, i have had the same problem with my 2000, it's not neccessarily the exhaust valve that is the problem, once i ran the injector cleaner through it i didn't have a problem again, some of the indendantly owned (but still brand named servos are serving up dodgy fuel)

when the light comes on the bike will go into limp mode and will rev freely up until 5-6,000rpm then will pull like a dog, it could be the vavle but give the injector cleaner a try in the mean time if your not booked in for the service that is, which in that case just get the to plug it in and run a diagnosis

edit: it's not just the 06 they have the problem with it started with the 00 and has run through all the K series, you would think they would have found a solution by now

you give me the cost of the bike that i paid in hard cash and you can do what you like, hell if you give me the cash we'll organise another gingers creek run and chuck the bastard on the bonfire

What about soft cash/monopoly money?

That's no good James, everyone knows the Gixxer couldn't even make it to Gingers for the bonfire

i'll pay that dave good call

Mine might have to join the bonfire if this keeps up.

Thanks Dunit- the injector cleaner is worth a try before taking it in. Will let you know how I go.

had a talk with a few people and we are all going with the butterfly valve in the exhaust. No offence but do you ever rev the tits off it? If they are never ridden above 5000rpm then the valve can get coked up (bloody Columbians) and wont shut properly, apparently (as in I know shit) taking it for a good flog CAN fix it. If you want said bike caned please call me on ......... Seriously but its worth a go before spending money.

No offence taken Frog.
And yes, it gets above 5000rpm every day, but I'll take it for a good flog just in case!

5000rpm = 110km/hr in 6th on mine?

I'm thinking a certain young vet nurse may not be QUITE as much the 'good' girl as she might like to have us believe - espescially with a gixxa between her legs

You need to get yourself a Gixxer my friend!
