I cleaned my powervalves today on my 2004 Viper S. No
valves were pulled through, but all were very stuck after 800-900 miles.
I split the housings and was able to pull off the cables to clean them. But
when I went to put them back together I could not get enough cable slack
to get it back in. Dissapointed in how dirty they were with 100% yamalube.
This is where I totally screwed up... I pulled off the servo cover and still
could not get enough slack. I then made the big mistake of taking off the
screws off the metal plate that the servo is on, then pulled this out to
see if I could get more slack. I found a lot of little gears under this cover and
these got out of alignment before I could put back together.
How screwed am I ? How in the world do I know how to get the servo back
on with the gears lined up correctly ? Time to take it to the dealer ?
Thanks !

I used to have the same problem. After you get your sevo fixed up, switch to Amsoil & us Seafoam regularly, and your problems solved.

I looked at Port Yamaha site for Yamaha OEM Parts. Yamaha sells the servo motor as a single unit for about $200. I suppose I could order a whole new servo to re-install. Do I need to do this, or can someone tell me what to do to get my existing servo back aligned ?
How do you use seafoam per the previous post ? mix it in the gas ? I have seen recent posts that Amsoil oils is not much better than yamalub for the power valves.
Thank you

I don't think many members have done what you have,so hard to advise,you should have posted up and asked before doing that,hard to tell what's what over the internet.

to tell ya...

I would get a different servo, you may never find a dealer who can put it back together for what a used one will cost. Maxdlx
