Yeah I try to re oil the brass piston at least every 3rd oil change. I found that with the old version the brass piston was bone dry after several thousand miles and was susceptible to getting stuck and not performing as it should, so I went ahead and bought a new one. Unbeknownst to me there were several revisions since 2015 and I just happened to buy the latest version

What kind of behavior did you notice when it would get stuck?

A lot of pigeons when going wot, very jerky power delivery as well... so I decided to just replace everything with all new GFB and rev D. Now when going wot I get instant power all the way to 6K rpm's with no hesitation.

The pics that I have are difficult to see but I took this pic from google images.
This pic is an exact representation of my old version of gfb.

That is unfortunately the best pic I have at the moment. The one on the left is the older version.

Here's another response I received from the company as to why they made several revisions leading up to their latest revision:

Hi Steven,
The valve has been designed not to need re lubrication after the initial lubrication when assembling. We don’t mention the 10000 mile re lubrication in our instructions so you shouldn’t need to relubricate it.

I think it's worth paying for to have one less maintenance item to worry about.

Can't say I have issues either. So guess when I have time to kill and engine is cool, I'll take it out and relube it. I got about 17k on mine :lol:

when i went to install the DV+ there seems to be oil vapors flowing thought the DV area cause when i took out my DV there was oil on it. so wouldn't that be enough to keep it lubed?

Yes I agree, but I've never experienced oil in the diverter valve solenoid itself with the DV+ attached to it. That's the reason I bought an all new GFB dv+ and Rev D together
