Removing TA650 Emissions Rubbish

[StumpyFingers]

And the verdict having ridden it? No performance difference but it doesn't pop noticeably when throttling off now. Having completely removed the vacuum unit and all the unnecessary hoses and having capped the three spigots (the fourth, the vacuum take-off, is already being used for the Scottoiler), it's much neater under the airbox now.

Does it make a vast difference to the popping, as that is the only thing that bugs me about mine?

Well, there is no popping at all now that I can detect. To be honest, it wasn't offensively bad before though - just occasionally a bit 'fluffy'.

At least I now know what the cause is.
I sometimes wondered if it meant something was about to fail on the exhaust.
No I have a better Idea I will examine it closer at the next Major service.

Really? I quite like it, to be honest. I was wondering if it might be even more noticeable when (okay, "if") I change the silencer. Currently the Fuel Exhausts item looks to be favourite.

I was only worried by it because I had no idea what the cause was.

...just in case it was flatulence and not the bike

Behave!

As long as it is the PAIR System causing the popping and not a wrongly set Valve clearance.

Hi,
Do you know how much weight you saved removing the PAIR system ?
Thanks.

Must be about a 400g - not really worth it if all you're after is weight reduction.
