All 650Fs PAIR VALVE REMOVAL - CHEAPEST AND EASIEST WAY

FogDucker · Mar 13, 2020

Hi Gents,
I have scavenged the forum to find a decent explanation on how to properly block the Air Supply Hose that feeds the PAIR system without going through all the hassles of removing the solenoid and installing plates on the reeds and etc. and I had no luck!
What I've found form visiting other forums so far is that I can easily use MARBLES, FURNITURE PLASTIC LEG CAPS or any other plastic nipples to do so.
My question is what size should I look for? 5/8 inch? ...
Has anyone used marbles? if yes what size.
Can I block it by shoving something down into the air box hole with out disconnecting the hose? Can I just duck tape it? (lol) trying to be creative and cheap!

Cheers

Shove a marble down the hose that feeds the PAIR intake, that’ll do it.

Just remember to do the PAIR intake and not the crankcase breather. Bad things happen if you block that.

What can be used if we've lost our marbles?

Back when I had a Suzuki Volusia we would break a golf tee in half and jam the thick end down the hose. It worked!

Big lump of blue tac? That's currently bunging up the hole in my airbox from the removal of the hose.

Anything that can’t come loose get sucked into the intake (it’s on the filtered side of the airbox) and not get sucked into the PAIR pump. Any hobby/craft supply store will have marbles, BTW.

Why doing this? Will you gain more power, less fuel consumption or something?

Search for the same topic in this forum. There is tons of info about it. in a nutshell, it will give a better throttle/smoother response, no pops while decelerating (specially if you have fitted aftermarket exhaust), saving couple pounds of weight (if the whole mechanism is removed) and more importantly much less jerkiness while engine breaking.

@fogducker would you mind if we locked this thread, so we don't end up with two duplicate ones?

Anyone look for "pair valve" will find the other one which also links to here.
