The AIS pipe is on the same side, but higher up and travels over the top of the engine to the AIS valve.

Cheers think I've got it sorted now think this is right pipe going to have to check it next weekend now though.

Yep, that's the one! :thumbsup:

Make sure you unblock the breather though before you ride the bike anymore; I wouldn't leave that till next weekend.

removing the whole AIS
 
So lets say I remove all the AIS gubbins like Kev said way earlier on on this thread, block the airbox and the exhaust manifold, disconnect all the pipework valve and then the electrical connection to the valve will is show a F1 light or sorts when the AIS is unplugged ?

No - fortunately someone at Yamaha guessed we wouldn't actually want the AIS fitted... so if you disconnect everything, don't worry - there is no warning light, everything runs just fine.

Go for it!

Can't speak for the 2013 models but all earlier models <2013 don't put the FI light on when the AIS system is completely removed.

If you have a 2013 model I would unplug the connector & go for a ride, the AIS valve will remain open so don't worry about the constant popping back. Let us know the results of the FI light.

Hi guys.
Just a thought. Could you install a 10mm brass ball valve and turn the "popping" on and off ?? I like it in traffic but It gets old on a long trip.

Interesting idea, no reason why it wouldn't work either. If you wanted to be really flashy, I guess you could even fit a solenoid operated valve and control it from a handlebar mounted switch! ;)

Genius !! although i might just go with a stealthy old school petrol tap look :-)

first ride today with the ais blocked and it seems smoother as well.

I like scaring people with the pops...

Mole grips or pipe grips squish the metal pipe flat.:newspaper:
