You can unplug and remove the valve actuator. The ECU will record a motor fault but there is no warning on the display and no other effect on the bike.
Flappy Valve - replacement link pipe

Cool, thanks
With a set of dimensions I reckon I could knock one of those up out of 316 or 440c Stainless
Have ordered one now, so I can draw it up if you like. Being an engineer I have all of the tools to measure it, just nothing to make it on. If only I had a lathe....

Got one today - the Remus one - yes I know bugger the expense. 5 minute job to disconnect the wires, and fit the pipe on my 2010 bike

Sir that would be awesome, and of course there'd be a CNC lathe (and shit hot programmer) available should you need one.
I did the same on mine, removed the cables and re-fitted the actuator and plug my main thinking was to save water getting into the plug. I got my pipe piece off ebay think it was around a tenner.
Just been informed it is out of stock, will be a few days before they get more.
Even with the actuator plugged in the ECU logs a fault as it is expecting the pulley to be stopped in a set position which is not achieved with the valve removed and the pulleys disconnected

See picture below - GS911 picks up that the exhaust valve error message :

There's no need to machine a flanged adaptor. A length of stainless exhaust pipe tube will do the job for under £5.

Sacrilege! It is after all a finley tuned piece of german enginering you're attatching it to, of course it needs to be machined...
Exactly what I was looking at. 10" length of 63mm stainless pipe for about £8 on ebay, should make about 3 pieces. But I'm not totally sure 63mm is the right diameter. Can anybody confirm if 63 is correct?
This is very true but I'm a CNC programmer by trade and the flanged version is a more elegant solution.
.... And for me the only cost is time

I did this to my bike. Bike is now a happy bike. It made no difference to the sound that me or the misses could tell.

Have drawn it up and sent it to Diamond GSer.
As I have bought it I don't need one, but others may.
Not sure wher we stand on copying someone else's though?

Done about 1000 miles since I fitted mine.... Lots smoother! But noisier!
My flappy valve was only moving through a few degrees: from closed to nearly closed!
Also, I seem to be getting a few more mpg. I guess it was running badly with the valve semi-closed all the time. I'd just got used to it!

My bike with it's shotgun cans would benefit from a valve on one outlet pipe. One day, I might get something knocked together.
