My PV servo self-tests properly when ign is turned on, I have replaced the cables and adjusted with correct free-play, and the valve itself turns freely - no 'binding'.
But the servo motor 'jitters' (with the motor not running) ... no actual movement of the output, but it's like a vibration/buzzing noise. Is this normal? Is the unit servicable? I've seen similar jittering with RC servos which can be down to dirty pots (wipers?) inside.

Re: Powervalve servo jittering
My RZ500 did that when I got I and even though the cables were free and not binding I reset them anyway and the problem went away.

Mate, thanks for your quick response. I'll run it and keep an eye on it. The bike has sat for quite a few years so it's quite likely that a bit of use might 'clean up' the servo motor.

Ah that's interesting Peet, my battery is pretty tired, won't hold a charge for very long, -a new battery may help -good tip.
