    So. My 2024 ST1200 RR has a Pro-Race pipe fitted. It looks the mutt's nuts and sounds good, it's super light... but it's too loud for trackdays, even with the optional db killer fitted.

    That's a problem because I'm a trackday instructor...

    So I need to refit the standard pipe. The previous owner was good enough to keep all the original parts boxed up and safe, which is great. But.

    He's fitted a servo eliminator, obviously. And I can't find where it is. I have a package for a Healtech but the only thing I can find is a grey box about 5cm by 3 by 3 with a wire from the loom going onto it and looking like it's permanent. The box is screwed onto the bracket where the servo would normally be, which makes me think it's the ESE. If so then I'm stuffed unless I embark on some loom surgery, which I'd like to avoid. Or I lock the valve open and refit the original pipe without the servo, which seems a bit crap because I gain all the weight and don't get the bottom end boost. Though obviously I do gain a bike quiet enough to pass trackday noise tests.

    Why am I posting?

    Simple. First of all, where would you put the Healtech so I know where to look? Second, has anyone encountered that little grey box? And last, if I have to, how do I lock the valve open (if that's the right approach)?

    Cheers

    You need to look at online videos on how to install the Healtech ESE. It seems to be located behind the rear brake fluid reservoir and should be a small black box with Healtech ESE marked on it.

    Yeah, that's what I thought and it's what I did... but it's not there, which is what led me to asking here.

    Have you looked under the seat?

    Yep, under the seat, behind the rear brake... Not lifted the tank yet but I guess that's next.

    That was to be my next suggestion to lift the rear of the tank.

    @TRIPLE X I take it is a new bike. If not someone may have already removed it. But if it were me i would have a chat with a helpful Triumph dealer.

    Good point.

    For context:

    Bike is a '24 1200RR. I'm the second real owner (first was Fowlers as a demo) and the previous owner tried to get it to suit him before giving up and buying a BMW (result for me!)

    He removed the exhaust from the bean-can cat backwards and fitted a Pro-Race pipe and servo eliminator. He kept all the original parts and supplied them with the bike, which is nice.

    Trouble is, there's Healtech ESE packaging in with the original exhaust but no sign of the ESE on the bike. Obviously there is one somewhere as it's not throwing any errors, but I can't find it.

    It is going in for a service in a week or so, and I may well ask the dealer if they can spot it while they're rummaging around. I'd just rather find it myself so I'm not paying someone else for it...

    Cheers

    @Junglie25 Most good dealers will know about it and would i assume let you know without any charge. Good for them as it keeps your business.

    I think the valve in the original exhaust is spring loaded in the open position until activated. So you could just leave the Healtech ESE instu (wherever it is) & put the original exhaust back on. The ESE will stop the MIL light from illuminating because the actuator has been disconnected and removed.

    That's handy! Looking at the original, the valve is about halfway open, but as the servo is currently attached to the exhaust it could be holding it in that position. I'll investigate further...
