Yamaha Air Injection System AIS Removal or Disable XVS 650

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The Yamaha Air Injection System AIS found on the XVS 650 Dragstar, V Star and similar bikes is an emissions control system designed to burn unburnt fuel in the exhaust. This can and does result in popping and backing in the exhaust especially on overrun. The system also does nothing for how good the bike looks as it's an intrusive after thought bolted onto the engine.
If you want to disable the system or remove it I run through the process step by step on my bike.
The pipes from the heads have a 12mm OD

    Oil isn't normal - the AIS is connected to the exhaust so not connected to anywhere that gets oil. I would assume it's leaking from somewhere else and coming out there. Perhaps part of the other oil leak? You can see the gaskets here - www.fowlersparts.co.uk/parts/6367942/xvs650a-dragstar-classic-4c57-2006-060-a/cylinder-head

    So i just recently bought a 650 bobber build bike. Absolutely loving it with one minor problem. I am getting a bit of vibration that is more than normal. Seems to just be in certain ranges. I was thinking there might be two culprits between needing a carb sync or the removed AIS system. With aftermarket exhaust prompting the removal and the carbs being cleaned before buying. Wondering if there might be any suggestions out there? Understood that the AIS shouldn't be affecting it at all, but still wondering if its running richer than needs be..

    AIS is a post ignition system so it's not a likely culprit - but check the pulse port on the inlet manifold to make sure that it is properly blocked and you don't have an intake air leak. Worth double checking the exhaust AIS port too to make sure it is sealed properly too so it isn't impacting on the exhaust scavenging.

    No. This does not affect the engine, fuelling or engine management system. This is a control system for unburnt fuel in the exhaust. I should clarify - these don't have an O2 sensor - if you have a later bike fitted with one then it will have a different AIS system because the injection of O2 to burn the fuel will cause the sensor to report false values.

    Ahhh... Anybody that fully understands WHAT the AIS actually does and how it benefits smooth running and INCREASES performance by way of INCREASING exhaust gas flow will absolutely NOT disable the AIS. When you disable the AIS you certainly WILL have 'popping from the pipe' because you have just screwed up carburation tuning by reducing exhaust gas flow efficiency. Why did exhaust gas flow better with AIS functioning? Because introducing fresh air (oxygen) into the exhaust keeps the flame coming out of the port and into the exhaust system burning longer and stronger. Of course that will make the exhaust gas hotter... It is Proven FACT that hotter exhaust gas flows more easily and readily than 'cooler' exhaust gas. I have performance re-tuned TONs of V-Star 650's under various states of performance modification including dealing with machines that came in the shop with the AIS removed. You can get rid of popping from the pipe by re-tuning the carburation to match the reduction in exhaust flow but tuning will be 'touchy' due to the loss of exhaust flow efficiency and overall PERFORMANCE WILL SUFFER.! My experience is not limited to the V-Star in this area. ALL Japanese machines exhibit the same benefit of a hotter exhaust flow. Proven years before AIS was introduced to our motorbikes. Again... It is proven FACT that the hotter the exhaust gas the more readily and easily it will flow. The AIS does that for you.

    If the bike has an aftermarket exhaust system then that is why the popping from pipe. You need to retune the carburation to match the aftermarket exhaust system. If you have a totally stock exhaust system as well as stock induction system than there is something wrong somewhere. Most of the time that means a carburation problem that needs to be fixed, NOT modified. Keep the AIS. Your bike wants it.

    @@abigail_mcleod There are a couple of causes. Often happens when you've accelerated and then you shut down the throttle hard (say accelerate out of a hairpin then shut it down hard for the next hairpin bend, especially downhill) - so these is unburnt fuel which is ejected into the hot exhaust and explodes. Can happen too with the choke on, so not all the fuel burns. This is OK. But it can also happen when the mix is too lean. When you fit a high flow exhaust you also check if you need a bigger jet in the carb. If this is the cause of the backfire then it can be damaging your engine. Happens on all bike, Harley or Yamaha. So you need be sure which you have because engine rebuilds are much more expensive than exhausts and getting a mechanic to check the jetting.

    Has anyone put a 1000cc or bigger motor in a vstar 650 classic? I own a 2001 vstar 650 classic,it has a custom paint job,lots of being,lowered,so I've put a bit of money in it just because. I want to know if there's any possibility of putting a 1000cc or bigger motor in the 650 and what fab work etc is needed? Even converting to belt drive would be nice.Willing to do whatever to make it work but was hoping someone out there has done this already.

    Does removing the Ais system help the bike run cooler

  • @sportshooter9369

    11 күн бұрын

    NO. See below... Ahhh... Anybody that fully understands WHAT the AIS actually does and how it benefits smooth running and INCREASES performance by way of INCREASING exhaust gas flow will absolutely NOT disable the AIS. When you disable the AIS you certainly WILL have 'popping from the pipe' because you have just screwed up carburation tuning by reducing exhaust gas flow efficiency. Why did exhaust gas flow better with AIS functioning? Because introducing fresh air (oxygen) into the exhaust keeps the flame coming out of the port and into the exhaust system burning longer and stronger. Of course that will make the exhaust gas hotter... It is Proven FACT that hotter exhaust gas flows more easily and readily than 'cooler' exhaust gas. I have performance re-tuned TONs of V-Star 650's under various states of performance modification including dealing with machines that came in the shop with the AIS removed. You can get rid of popping from the pipe by re-tuning the carburation to match the reduction in exhaust flow but tuning will be 'touchy' due to the loss of exhaust flow efficiency and overall PERFORMANCE WILL SUFFER.! My experience is not limited to the V-Star in this area. ALL Japanese machines exhibit the same benefit of a hotter exhaust flow. Proven years before AIS was introduced to our motorbikes. Again... It is proven FACT that the hotter the exhaust gas the more readily and easily it will flow. The AIS does that for you.

    No, it has no noticeable impact on cooling. Cooling has always been an issue with air cooled V twins in this configuration since the rear cylinder receives less air and that air has already been heated by the front cylinder and exhaust to some degree.

Of course the answer is lack of knowledge along with internet myth that leads to bad information being parroted as fact, like we have here. A caplock is the firing mechanism for a muzzle loading rifle. Similar to but NOT to be confused with the flintlock mechanism.

    @@sportshooter9369 I could not care less for the performance on my 650 Dragstar. I would question why anyone would care. I removed it because the bike is a Harley clone and it's just ugly. Now don't get me wrong, getting more power from smaller capacity bikes has always been and always will be a thing - I just don't care on the Dragstar and I can't say I've ever found any strong level of care about it. I'm guessing that you never actually bothered watching the video did you? Because if you did, you would realise how much of a fool you are making of yourself and you are just digging yourself deeper with every reply.

Sorry, it's just that I have SEEN too many people screw up a virtually perfect performance upgrade (and tuning) by disabling the AIS because they saw an internet video that convinced them because the AIS is an Evil pollution reducing device it must be done away with. I just believe truth is important, even with total strangers. Disabling the AIS harms overall performance with the single exception of when at WFO throttle. Delete if you must.
