Does this refer to the ESE-BM1?

Thank you, in that case I will disconnect them and see what difference it makes and then go that route .. thank you for posting that!

So, I actually got under the bike yesterday to see about disabling the servo cables. Popped the cap off of one, loosened the 10mm retainer…. But realized that unlike the R9T, releasing the cable from the retainer doesn’t really provide any additional slack to get the cable ends out of their sockets.
I did notice that the servo appears to be slightly different in that it has a nut in the center of the disc. Not sure what happens if you remove it?
Has anyone successfully disabled these on the R18 by removing the mechanical cables? Be curious what the trick is to getting slack in them to work the end retainer out.

It requires patience but absolutely doable. Use the spanner to rotate the disc forward and backward to get enough slack and then you pop it out.

Also, can i remove the servo unit connected to harness without servo buddy? Will this generate Fi codes?

Did you remove the servo unit in the rear aswell plugged to ECU. If so did you get any FI codes without servo buddy

Rotate it via the nut in the center?

Cool, I was hesitant to mess with it for fear if the thing springing apart across the floor. Tried to turn the spool with my fingers but couldn't get any leverage. I'll try that today and see if it helps!

So, I managed to get the larger retainer out of its socket. I can't seem to get enough slack in the cable to get the smaller retainer out.
In my brain, the larger one pulls the flap down, while the upper one holds it closed?

Can you disconnect the cable from the other side?

Actually managed to get it out from the low end eventually. That was the easy side though... lol

There's always the "cut the cable" method

That would make it difficult to connect it to clear the code for service if necessary hahThere's always the "cut the cable" method

Loosen up both cables on each side with a open end 10mm wrench and slide them out of the retainer brackets. Then disconnect the ends of the cables and put the cable bolts back into their brackets. Now their unhooked and can't close the valves. Or, just remove the whole assembly (just one bolt and 2 electrical connectors).. and put it on the shelf until needed

If you get one out the other one is very easy. You can just rotate the disc until enough slack and then pop it out

I wanna take the whole assembly out but am thinking if that will initiate fault codes, if i unplug it from ECU.

Did you take the whole assembly out? Or just removed cable from the pulley?
