Remove the PAIRS System

[seth]

I've no idea but I can only think as it's not the exhaust that came from the factory Suzuki UK and others got these from yoshi and had the link pipes made up to suit the can must fit other bikes that have a cat .
The emissions are supposedly reduced by the pairs system .

Never done the PAIRS mod. Asked the guy at my work to cnc the covers; drawing from the downloads section. Read all of this thread and others covering the system. Just for tries, can I just tape the hose port from inside the air box ? I´ll be using good industrial metallic tape.

You'd be better off just folding the hose back on itself and zip tying it off. I removed the actual reed valve from underside the cover plate in case it breaks and falls off into the valve train. Never bothered with cnc'd cover plates.

OK, thanks for the reply. Even for a blast, I´ll remove the valves, you never know, shit happens !

just unplug the vacuum hose from no3 throttle body & plug it so that cylinder doesn't run lean. Without the vacuum the PAIRS will never function so you can feel the difference.

Hooli, from memory, valve is held closed with vacuum, intake from air box is what needs blocking.

I just screwed a bolt into the hole in the airbox think a m6 (May have been a different size but it was very slightly larger than the hole) cut it's own thread as I put it and sealed it perfectly

I've never seen any good reason why you can't just blank it off with it still in place,  that seems fine and a temporary version should always be done on the dyno if you're looking at the A/F sniffer reading. The Busa guys often just put a marble in the pipe.

Personally I do remove them as I just prefer not having the crap left in there (although the one on my 14 was already done before the last owners PC111 Dyno mapping)

I've not checked how it works so you might well be right. I'd assumed it worked the same as EGR, but it's a guess really.

Hey all, grabbed a pairs delete kit from a guy in northern NSW (link below), looking for the smoother running mentioned in this and other posts.

Gonna fit it using the great instructions at the start of this post provided by GSXBARMY, thanks mate!

My question is, are there any other fueling or tuning requirements involved, or is it just a matter of deleting the pairs system and off you go?

Interested in any input or experience anyone may have on this.

Rip it all out, block the necessary bits & you're good to go.

[grog]

watgra, good link you sent. Shamed me into buying same from same seller. Ive had PAIRS  hoses blocked off 13 yrs, about time i removed it all.

Having never had PAIRS covers off,is any sealant required on rubber seals, are new rubber seals available? Thanks gentlemen.

[Eric GSX1400K3]

Nope, there's a nice grooved rubber seal that seals both the cover and holds the reed valves in place. Pretty sure if you remove the reed valves, the rubber seal still functions as a gasket.

Alloy cover plates & stainless plates to replace reeds in kit.
