GFB Respons (part T9003) - Manual (Page 4)

Maintenance
The GFB Respons is designed to be as maintenance-free as possible. Unlike some other brands on
the market, frequent replacement of seals in order to keep the Respons in top working order is NOT
required.
The only maintenance that may be required is the occasional cleaning of carbon deposits on the
Respons’ piston that result from the oil vapour in the engine’s inlet tract. This varies from car to
car, and on some cleaning may never be required, whilst others may need to be cleaned on a regular
basis. It is easy to determine if the valve needs cleaning by visual inspection of the piston for black
carbon build-up, or if you notice the sound of the valve changing over time (e.g. slow response
time, intermittent operation).
To disassemble the Respons, put a rag under the valve to catch any parts that may drop. Remove
the four screws holding on the cap (use a 3mm metric hex key), taking care as the spring will push
upwards on the cap with approximately 5kg of force. Remove the spring and the brass piston, and
wipe any grime from the inside of the valve and the piston with a rag. Apply normal engine oil to
the piston and the inside of the bore, and re-assemble.
