my method to block off: remove valve and short tubes from between plates, remove longer hose to airbox, cut hose from airbox to fit between plates, connect both plates to each other without valve using the cut piece.. fill the hole in the airbox with a dab of silicone

Great post David! So much misunderstanding about this system. The system is actually advantageous on a stock bike without decat.

100% improves start off from stop on a DR650 and low speed riding surges. Also eliminates popping…my bike is stock otherwise. No aftermarket exhaust.

Great video! Planning to do block off plates on my 2013 Honda Cb1100 after I installed a catless exhaust setup.

Great stuff man I just did mine on my 2024 MT-10 SP and put a woolich tune on it as well it still needs some tweaking but boy what a difference 🎉

woolich doesnt make tunes, woolich makes software and hardware to allow someone to tune.

On a tuned bike with a full (catless) exhaust if you don't want the flames/decel pop block off the airflow, plates are pretty expensive for what they are flare plug and cap work just fine, good information in the video though.

If someone WANTS the flames and pops on decel and keeps the factory PAIR/AIS Valve system BUT removes the charcoal canister and caps the purge valve hose, then is it possible to still have flames and pops on decel ??

@brandongreene9615

Doesn’t this feature make the bike slow down a lot when you let off the fuel?

Amazing thank you.

Great vidoe man! I was wondering if blocking the ais on a untuned bike can lean out the AF reading? After all, the air is injected in front of the o2 sensor, so theoretically it should read a richer mixture and withdraw fuel

@vcyclenut

5 ай бұрын

Thanks !! The o2 sensor is only doing anything at light throttle and lower rpm. Also the ais valve is only open on closed throttle deceleration. The air fuel during decel is pretty irrelevant Here is a video i made about the o2 sensor kzread.infosAVJ4bgi8cs?si=kO5fUAl7T2Q43cSt

This is a very interesting video, thanks. I've been thinking about doing this with my bike, because it has an aftermarket muffler on it and I'm not really a fan of the popping and crackling. I guess that it would be expected that the tip of the exhaust would get a bit of soot around it after blocking the pair system?

@vcyclenut

Ай бұрын

Glad it was helpful! Yes getting some soot on the tip of the exhaust is always normal.

I appreciate this video a lot, it really cleared up a lot of questions I had about this! I notice you did mention that installing the block off plates would eliminate the popping/ backfire. If you have block off plates installed, is it still possible to have popping on decel? I would like to have some popping, but nothing crazy as I'm getting a full exhaust for my '19 R6.

@vcyclenut

Ай бұрын

Glad you liked it No. If you like popping on decel do not install block off plates.

Nice explanation! When the ECU flash disables the AIS, would it achieve the same as installing the PAIR valve block-off plates (provided that the rubber seals are functioning) and no pops on deceleration? Also, will the AFR be affected when the seals fail because it constantly draws fresh air from the airbox to the exhaust?

@vcyclenut

Ай бұрын

In theory yes. But it’s pretty rare they seal up completely It won’t affect the actual air fuel ratio. Just what a wide band o2 sensor would read because the fresh air would dilute the exhaust gasses

Still very novice in understanding of system. After getting your ECU flash and having Graves slip-on, leave alone this alone? Or will adding block off plates help more. Apologies for my ignorance.

@vcyclenut

5 ай бұрын

No worries. Leave it alone. The bottom line is blocking off the ais never adds performance it just stops popping

Does blocking the PAIR valves on a non tuned bike (CB650R) with a aftermarket exhaust (no cat) affect the AFR ration in the combustion chamber? Because the O2 sensor in the exhaust will see richer mixture (because the PAIR are blocked, so no fuel is burned in the exhaust) so will assume the bike is richer than before and then leans it?

@vcyclenut

3 ай бұрын

no, PAIR valves are only active at closed throttle and the stock o2 sensors are not that accurate that a small amount of air is going to change what it is doing. Also the stock o2 sensor is only active at light throttle and lower rpm's kzread.info/dash/bejne/eoCm1s6Fg6jKgtI.html

​@@vcyclenut thanks mate. Doing this mod this week.

This is really interesting! I have a carburetored 2012 Ninja 250. It has this system on it. But it also has a coaster enriching valve (air cutoff valve) attached to the carburetor which will reduce the amount of air flowing through the idle circuit on deceleration if the wheels are spinning the engine and the butterfly valves are closed. The purpose of this is avoid the lean condition at idle throttle with the engine still at high RPMs thereby reducing the popping and backfiring. It seems like this AIS and the coasting enriching valve conflict with each other. What are your thoughts on it?

@vcyclenut

Ай бұрын

No. They are both trying to reduce the amount of unburnt fuel coming out the exhaust

Hey I recently flashed my ecu on my Zx4rr. I have only a slip on and I did disconnect my o2 sensor but do I need to do anything to the AIS/pair valve for just a slip on? Thanks!

So you said if your tuning a bike you prefer the block off plates so you get an accurate AFR readings. But if they are only working on decel or closed throttle what does it matter? If they aren't doing anything while cruising or acceleration how would it affect afr I don't understand. Im not trying to be an ass, as an amateur tuner im trying to understand

because they can leak. The valve should only be pulling air at closed throttle, correct, but I am not trusting my work to a rubber stopper against a hole.
