If you are running with after market pipes, there would be no advantage in running a secondary air system to burn hydrocarbons. Because there is no Caterlistic converters.
The way the AIS is set up, it is only for emission control & should have no effect on the running of the bike unless you are running with STD Pipes.
Something I was thinking about, if you block off the pipe from the airbox to the AIS, if it would change the air pressure in the airbox. In theory as the AIS runs it will cause a lower depression in the airbox affecting the air pressure sensor, a flat spot as you crack the throttle. Would be an idea to get someone to try my thought in practice, on the Dyno. With the air pipe blocked then unblocked to see if it makes any difference.
If you are running STD pipes I would not disconnect the AIS. You need to heat up & burn off the Cat for the exhaust to run correctly.
