its not that! open the upper half, and you will see 2 holes on the lower half (left and right) > right should be blocked. the left is a breather and its crucial to stay open! In order to reach the PAIR, you need to unplug all the plugs after unscrewing needed screws. its fully addressed in the service manualI have a question on the blocking plates that I just ordered from Smart Moto.
These are upgraded versions that all i do is take off the oem plates and just install correct? Meaning no need to unscrew the oem metal flaps?
I've been watching intake installs for the CB650R and it gets to the point of the intake. The bottom half of the intake i'm assuming needs to be removed to get to the PAIR system. Is that bottom half a challenge to take out? or does it just kinda pop up?
Attached: I circled the area I'm assuming I am to block off with the kit i'm getting?
Noted: I will be careful of the JIS screws when i see'em.

yes, the plastic airhorns have the JIS screws holding them in. Be gentle!Will i need to remove the intake funnels to get the low half of the intake box off?

the plates are the new version and you don’t need to remove the reeds
the older version were just flat, and people were either drilling recesses or removing the screw and reeds
if you have followed the pic on the book that I've sent you you should be fineSo...I decided to do this tonight, I got every thing off, beside the side intakes, I can't get the bottom of the intake box off. Like i'm missing a screw.
I removed the intake funnels so it's not that holding it down. I'm afraid to man handle it and pull it out.

these funnels are holding the bottom in place
the other pic shows where they can be split half way

Took some pictures of the location with the box out.
Those hoses are tough to get to and not to mention to pull up.
Thanks to MRFritz86 advice in moving the side intakes made it easier to reach.
My kit is due to arrive this Thurs, I have plenty of time to take off the covers.
I just hope i remember how everything goes back. =(
