<![CDATA[YPVS tips]]>Should you lube the pv and bushes with simply 2t oil or should you grease the pv and bushes with like lithium soap? (saw it in a video)

The pv opens and closes just as it should. My only concern is that the servo perhaps should be adjusted differently. As you can see on the picture where I have removed the servo cover, the cables are not, according to me, adjusted satisfactorily. Obviously, I have not done this before. Perhaps it's okey after all?

It should be flush with the exhaust port. Doesn't matter where the screws are as they should be shielded with the rubber grommets.

It works beautifully and opens right. However I am not happy with the way it is adjusted. The 2nd pulley screw is as you can see much further out than the 1st. Have a look at the servo! No pleased with that either. Woud have wanted it more centred. But frankly that was the only way it would work. Seems okey?

Just use a set of spanners to adjust the locking nuts, the tension ought to pull the servo the right way. Then lock off.

I might be having a mental block, but that's how you adjust them.

my question is wheather or not you could "rotate" the servo manually in order to adjust the pv better. The 2nd pulley is obviously a bit too far out.

I need to do so since the current setting is not optimal.

Im pretty sure some bikes where sold in a restricted version like this.

Is it possible to mount it wrong? I mean it only fits one way?

I can't say I have ever gone out my way to replace the o ring or clean the valve.

Should you always buy new o rings or can they normally be reused? How many km until you should inspect and clean?
