Healtech Exhaust Servo Eliminators – The Complete Buyer’s Guide

When it comes to upgrading your motorcycle, one small but powerful modification is often overlooked: the exhaust servo eliminator. If you’ve ever changed your exhaust system and been greeted with a glowing fault light on your dash, you’ve already discovered why these devices exist.

In this guide, we’ll explain exactly what the Healtech Exhaust Servo Eliminator (ESE) does, why it’s such a popular upgrade, and how to choose the right one for your bike.


What is an Exhaust Servo and Why Does It Cause Problems?

Modern motorcycles often come fitted with an exhaust servo motor connected to a valve in the exhaust system. Manufacturers use this setup to:

  • Meet noise regulations at low RPMs

  • Help with emissions compliance

  • Smooth power delivery in certain rev ranges

The problem is that when you fit an aftermarket exhaust system, the servo motor no longer has anything to control. The ECU expects feedback from the servo, and when it doesn’t get it, you’ll see the dreaded FI (Fault Indicator) light on your dash.

Even on a completely stock bike, servo motors are known weak points. Over time, they can stick, fail, or throw error codes – leaving you with unnecessary headaches.


Enter the Healtech Exhaust Servo Eliminator

The Healtech Exhaust Servo Eliminator (ESE) is a small, plug-and-play electronic unit designed to replace the stock servo motor. It “tricks” the ECU into thinking the servo is still fitted and functioning correctly.

The result:

  • No error codes

  • No FI lights

  • No unreliable servo mechanism to fail in the future

This makes it one of the simplest, most effective upgrades for any rider fitting an aftermarket exhaust.


Key Benefits of Using a Healtech Exhaust Servo Eliminator

Healtech are one of the most trusted brands in motorcycle electronics, and their ESE units have several standout advantages:

  • Prevents FI warning lights – keeps your dashboard clear of error codes.

  • Plug & Play installation – simply unplug the servo and connect the ESE. No cutting, soldering, or special tools required.

  • Compact & durable – the unit is small, lightweight, and built to withstand heat and vibration.

  • Improves reliability – eliminates a common failure point on modern bikes.

  • Compatible with aftermarket exhausts – lets you run your preferred slip-on or full system with no electronic issues.

  • Affordable upgrade – compared to major performance mods, it’s a low-cost solution with big peace-of-mind benefits.


Which Motorcycles Can Use a Healtech ESE?

Healtech ESEs are available for a wide range of manufacturers and models, including:

  • Honda – CBR600RR, Fireblade, Africa Twin, CB1000R

  • Yamaha – R1, R6, MT-09, MT-10

  • Suzuki – GSX-R range, Hayabusa, GSX-S models

  • Kawasaki – ZX-6R, ZX-10R, Z1000, Ninja 650

At Mad4bikes, we make it easy to find the correct unit for your exact make and model.


Does Removing the Exhaust Servo Improve Performance?

This is one of the most common questions we hear.

The short answer: no, the eliminator itself won’t add horsepower.

What it does do is allow your aftermarket exhaust to work properly without triggering fault codes. It also removes the restriction of a faulty or sticking servo valve, ensuring smooth exhaust flow at all times.

In practice, many riders notice that throttle response feels sharper and the bike runs more consistently – not because the ESE adds power, but because it removes unnecessary restrictions.


How to Install a Healtech Exhaust Servo Eliminator

Fitting an ESE is one of the easiest DIY upgrades you can perform. Most riders can do it in 10–15 minutes.

  1. Locate the servo motor – usually found under the seat or near the exhaust system.

  2. Unplug the servo connector – disconnect the wiring harness from the servo motor.

  3. Plug in the Healtech ESE – connect it directly to the wiring harness.

  4. Secure the unit – tuck it neatly under the seat or fairing using cable ties or Velcro.

  5. Test the bike – start your engine. The FI light should stay off.

That’s it – job done.


Why Choose Healtech Electronics?

FAQs About Healtech Exhaust Servo Eliminators

Q: Is an exhaust servo eliminator legal in the UK?

A: Yes. The ESE doesn’t remove or modify catalytic converters or emissions systems – it simply replaces the servo motor electronically. Always check local regulations if riding abroad.

Q: Will it void my warranty?

A: In most cases, no. The ESE is easily removable and does not permanently alter your wiring. Check with your dealer for confirmation.

Q: Do I need an ESE if I keep my stock exhaust?

A: Usually not. The main benefit comes when fitting aftermarket exhausts or if your stock servo motor fails.

Q: Will my bike run better without the servo?

A: Many riders report smoother throttle response because the exhaust valve is no longer restricting flow.

Q: How long does it take to fit a Healtech ESE?

A: Typically 10–15 minutes with basic tools.
