Question How long can the Red FI light be on?

So I diagnosed it using something i got off of here on the forums. It's the Servo Motor for sure. A mechanic I trust told me "Yeah you can ride it, it's just in default mode now".

What does everyone think? i ride a 2005 zx 636.

if the servo is duff and you have a standard silencer on there then i would sort it. if you have an after market slip on then just ignore the light for now, it causes no problems. the only issue is if something goes wrong then you wont know as the light is always there.

or just get a cheaper version from 09ZX-6R ...PM him and he'll give you a good price, it'll cost half of that of the servo buddy while solving the same issue.

that's fine if you don't have the need for the space. people like to get it out so they can drop in a PCIII or PCV. And without resistance from the butterfly valve on the exhaust the servo motor will burn out sooner than later.
