I believe it is possible to remove a similar set-up from the DRZ400S models...

Your advice is as ever appreciated,

ps. I've just answered my own question - it seems there is a diagnostic/fault code for the AIS (no.D48) if the solenoid isn't working - I wonder if it is possible to fool the system and remove all the plumbing?
There is nothing stopping you removing the whole AIS system & blocking the air box & exhaust port, just a bigger job then just blocking off one pipe.

If you just unplug the AIS plug the valve remains open all the time & defeats the object. If you join the two wires you will blow something in the ECU as this circuit is not fused & needs a consumer in series to complete the circuit to keep the light off.
