Welcome in Barry
If you haven't got a steering damper get one especially if your going to ride it hard , regularly check the Exup valve is moving freely & if you do strip the Exup be careful not to sheer off the studs , lots of stuff in the forum about the 4xv , your gonna love it

I ll post the se questions on the forum, de-exup-ing how does that effect bottom end ?lol

Hey bud , try getting your damper serviced I think someone said it was about £50 but I'm not sure , as for binning the Exup, some have done it & not had a prob but I believe it then needs to be set up on a dyno or you'll struggle pulling off below 2000rpm , you will loose a little bottom end . If I'm wrong someone will put me right , there's a big divide in people about looking the Exup .
Personally I feel Yamaha spent a lot of money developing the Exup valve for a reason & it does it's job well
