Exhaust valve options

I recently bought a used 675 ( 18 months old )with 1000 miles on it the engine light came on shortly after i bought it and i returned it to the dealer they supposedly fixed and said that the cables on the exhaust valve required adjustment shortly after this the light came on again I've booked it in to be looked at but being fairly handy with the old spanners decided to have a look at the valve and cables , upon examination i found the valve to be seized ,i've freed it up and tryed as best i can to get high temp grease onto the shaft my question is after my warranty runs out what's my best option do I
1 diconnect the cables and leave the valve fully open
2 keep taking it apart,grease it and buy a tuneboy to reset the light
3 change out the exhaust

your thoughts around this probably common problem would be appreciated
