hi i hust bought a 2001 929rr for 1500$ and the exhaust wasn't hooked up when i bought it he said i had to hook up the egcv before i could start it or i would burn the valves up i downloaded the shop manual but in there it doesn't really tell you how to hook it up it just tells you how to take it off and doesn't really show the brackets that hold the cables tight n all and i also noticed i couldn't find the o2 sensor onthe exhausti dunno if it didn't come with one or if it was a diff exhaust hesaid it was stockcan't reallly tell but i'm hoping someone could explain it to me better or should i just put it in a shop? and get that fixed have my oil's n fluids changed tire etc.

 

ok got no replies guess nobody can answer my question so as a favor could someone take there fairingoff and take a picture of the egcv where the cables hook to it so i can see what bracket was used etc...it would be a big help seeing as that's all it needs to run and i don't really got the money for a shop atm.

 

check under the 3rd topic on the 929 page it says its a link to the manual but i cant access it from my work computer.

 

Assuming the EGCV is the same as the HTEV (I think people use them interchangeably), I think you can run the bike just fine without it hooked up. I bought my 929 last spring, and it had the servo motor and HTEV removed. I ran it all last summer like that, with no ill effects that I can tell.Since the servo motor was removed, I have a FI light, with a 35 code, which is just the servo motor is broken code. I am in the process of buying a new servo motor so I can hook it up and not have to worry about the FI light. But removing the HTEV is a very common thing to do, as far as I have read.

I have only been on this forum a week or two, but it seems like there isn't a lot of action or responses here. Maybe it's just because it's the off season for riding, so people aren't thinking about bikes. I'd recommend fireblades.org as a really good site to look at and search on. There are many posts regarding the HTEV and flapper airbox mod there. Here's just one post:

And the 02 sensor only came on the Cali spec bike, if I remember right. My bike doesn't have one.

Where are you located? $1500 is a great price for a 929, in my opinion, especially if you only have to change fluids and figure out the exhaust.
