I have had three exhaust valve bellows fail in two rides. All have 1/4 holes in them. Has anyone else had this problem? Has anyone removed the valves altogether? I know they remove them in m1000's.

I really don't think a 975 Turbo even needs the valves. If anyone knows where I can get a plate to remove them let me know.

Wow, I only ever replaced one. It may run fine without them. Put the ev spring under the springs and plug the bleed hole with some silacone and try it
