Bit of a tall order, but would anyone have a record of the dimensions of the ais removal fittings that justy used to make, and what would be the preferred material. Don't fancy going the tapered tap route and was considering getting a machine shop to make me a set.
Thanks in advance.
-
holeshot sell a kit that just slips on rather than tapping threads into the holes..................

Or you can cut and crimp the existing AIS pipes. Not quite as neat the custom jobbies but they're hardly visible anyway.
-
Hi RMT1983,
Yep the Holeshot kit is what I was hoping to get made here, as the exchange rate/freight/import duty/vat etc makes it quite an expensive option, especially if I got a few sets made. Thanks for your suggestion.
Hi Falcon 269,
Thanks for your suggestion, it's just I'm set on the caps idea now I've seen a picture of them. Just like the neatness of them I suppose.
Thanks again guys.

Robbo,
What do you need to know? I have a Holeshot kit waiting to fit to my thou so i could have a look.
Craig

CraigL,
Excellent. I'd like to know the outside and inside diameters, and also the overall outside length. I know Dale uses the most expensive carriers in the world, or so it seems, but could you let me know how much did the kit work out with import etc paid. Please pm if you'd prefer.
Thanks CraigL you're a star.

Message replied to. Thanks very much, just the info I needed.

Could I have the cost including shipping, so I can see cost.
-
Hi robbo, I used these, works out about £20 delivered in a week, but then decided to tap the holes out anyway! Might be worth a look

Hi Tefer
I don't have the exact fee's with me but the Holeshot kit cost me £48 including postage but I got stung to the sum of £19 in vat and Royal Mail handling fee. I've been told that some people have gotten away without paying the import duties though but I think you have to be lucky :D
The kit is extremely well made and I think it's worth the money.
Craig
-
I purchased the holeshot kit and the postage was about the same as the cost of the kit itself so like Craig said it cost in total just under £50. Fortunately I didn't get stung for the import fees but that's a risk you need to consider. I personally think the holeshot kit is the best looking and easiest to install solution so don't think £50 is too expensive but another £20 on top would smart.
-

hi craig could i also have the measurements please, i did this on an xjr so know exactly what i need except the sizes .
cheers steve.

I got stun with the import duty on mine which took it just over the £60 or so in total.
-
Stevegixer,
PM for you.

Stevegixer,
PM for you.

I used the Holeshot kit and thought Id be clever in getting my niece in Boston to order it and posted to her. She in turn brought it over in her hand luggage at Xmas. The robbing bar stewards still billed her $25 postage.....
No way around getting ripped off it would seem....
On the plus side the kits dead easy to fit and is of high quality

Just done mine, I know your not interested in the tapping route but seriously it's no big deal, just go steady and jobs a goodun, and it looks nice and clean with the cap bolts........ if you want you can have my old tap set, blanking plugs were a few quid off ebay. :lol

Agreed cost me about a fiver, it was far easier than I thought it would be

A couple of years ago I asked Justy to make something similar. His work was in demand but he stopped making them...I think you will have demand for these if you continue to make them.

Hi buddy if you have read all the posts you will notice I am only supplying the blanking plugs.I am not sure if there is anything else needs.
But if you pm me I will put you on the list for a set of plugs if you want them.
I only have 3 sets at the moment & they are all taken.should have some more sets available by next week.
-
I might be interested at that cheap price.
Someone would need to tell me what else was needed to be done for the mod to work? Maybe if a person getting the first sets could do a walk through?

just a quick update on these caps, i have been away for the weekend so unable to finish them, today the grub screws arrived so should be finished & ready to post out on weekend, :D
ille let everyone know when ready .
-
Excellent Steve, well done.
-
Stevegixer..now that names familiar.... former member of the two wheeled attention seekers perchance?
-
I'm not sure if it mentions in the link dickturpin posted above, but on top of the 4 blanking plugs you will need the following bits:
High temp loctite (to make a good seal in the blanking plugs)
There are also 2 plastic blanking plugs that are needed (of different sizes). I'm sure I saw a link somewhere in the past where these could be sourced though.

I was just wondering, what did you guys use to blank off the coolant outlets on the rad and the thermostat housing? At the moment I've just linked the small hose from the thermostat back to the rad, but I'd rather blank them off. I was wondering if the vacuum caps on the carb rubbers would be OK to blank off the coolant outlets, ie one on the thermostat housing outlet and the other on the rad. Anyone done that?
-
Yup the vacuum caps fit fine I think I paid about £5 for a pair plus a couple of the clips that you use with them. I used a smidge of high temp silicone on the radiator and thermostat spigots then slid the caps on followed by the clips. Looks a lot tidier than the hose which is quite tight if I remember.

Excellent, thanks for that, I'll order the caps tomorrow :thumbup

Nice 1 PieEater, Ordered 2 x vacuum caps & 2 x clips from Yamaha main dealer, total cost £6.38 happy days! Oh and a small tube of high temp silicone sealer from fleaBay for just under £3! Spot on :thumbup

just to clarify things,
i can only supply the aluminium blanking plugs, they are £13 a set posted,
(http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php?action-media;sa=media;in=2775;preview)
you still have to get two rubber blanking plugs,
pieEater has used vacuum caps from his local dealer,
( i hope he doesnt mind me sharing his link )

-
Just to clarify for removal of the AIS you need one each of the vacuum cap and clip for the intake stub on carb 4. You will also need a cap for the airbox stub, most likely you will have something laying around the house that can be used for this as it seems to be a common cap size for small plastic bottles / containers, or you could probably get away with duck tape over the hole. I would also recommend using some high temperature silicone sealant with the blanking plugs you get from Steve so you get a proper seal.
don't forget Pats guide, the only difference is that he is using the tap method so you can ignore the section regarding tapping out the spigots but the rest is the same - http://www.cartestsoftware.com/fz1/airinductionsystemremoval.html (http://www.cartestsoftware.com/fz1/airinductionsystemremoval.html)
The two caps and clips used on the radiator and thermostat that I pictured earlier on this thread are used if you want to remove/bypass the carb heating circuit which is not necessarily part of the AIS removal process but can be done at the same time.
-
Should be sorted by Monday Tuesday ready for post.
That's £13 a set delivered.pm.s to follow :D

-
Has anyone else had issues with tolerances? Don't know if I'm doing something wrong but mine seem way to tight a fit and they won't go on any more than you can see in the photo. Any suggestions?
-
Problem solved, took them to my brother's and got him to drill them out another half millimeter..Now I'm wondering wether they will seal, smothered them with loctite, what have others used?

Sorry about this.if you want to send them back I can get another set made .these were the measurements I was given & personally had no problems.

Problem sorted now Steve, cheers, only posted as I thought I may have done something wrong, had them drilled out a bit more with a pillar drill so no need to send them back. They were just a tad too tight to fit. Internal diameter was 12mm, just opened them up to 12.5. :thumbup

Plenty of silicone blanking caps on eBay. Anyone know the internal diameter required for the airbox and carb hose?

Hi,
Pat's site has stuff about removing coolant, assume that's not needed but could be worth it?
The blanking caps, the have small grub screws to hold them on? What size and fitment? I have ordered some high temp silicone too.
-
Removing coolant is not strictly needed but removing the radiator makes the job easier, that's how I did mine using the same logic as you that it was probably worth it anyway. I think the grub screws were an m4 on the ones I had.

Hi, sorry to be coming late to the party.
Thinking about removing my AIS from 2004 Fazer.
I have previously had a Leo Vince can on this bike and I loved the popping and banging I used to get on closing the throttle.
I bought a MIVV for it, and the Leo Vince went back onto my Gixxer. The popping pretty much stopped, but the MIVV looked better.
However, I'm looking at putting the Leo Vince back on the Fazer.
Question is, if I remove the AIS, will the popping and banging stop?

Does anyone have the diameter for the airbox plug or a part number? I got the smaller ones for the Carb 4 intake.
-
Hi Tefer,
I made a note in my little black book when PieEater posted the part number info early last year, just haven't got around to removing my AIS yet.
Caps are #3 16G-13569-00(Plug blind) the clips to go with them are #4 90467-10039(Clip).Just use some high temp silicon on the spigots before sliding the caps on.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Robbo, thats the smaller plugs, i got a few of them and the clips for them, there is one needed for the airbox, it look sto be about 18mm but wanted to be sure before buying a plug.
-
Doh........ Just had a read back through all the posts and realised I hadn't answered your question as I forgot about the airbox. Hopefully someone will come back with the right info, as I'd certainly be interested. Nothing worse than starting a project only to be stuck for something quite simple.
Good luck. :thumbup

I used a cap from one of Mrs PieEater's cosmetic bottles for mine and I let AndyW have the cap from my visor cleaner spray bottle to do his, just used some silicone on the inside to make sure the fit was airtight and some gaffer tape on the outside to make sure it stayed in place, both have been fine since. So bottom line is you'll probably have something suitable knocking around at home without having to buy anything special.

Cheers PieEater, will scope out the other halfs cosmetic stuff ;)

Been a while since I bought the blanking caps from Steve but have only just tried fitting them. Only one seems to fit. Have measured the inside diameter and the one that fits is 12.5mm and the three that don't are 12mm. Measured one of the outlet pipes and it is 12.3mm. The one that fits doesn't slide all the way down and seems to be slightly tapered internally. Looks like some fettling is required.... hey ho.
-
I had the same problem but some help from a lump hammer, Viking power & a lot of harsh language I got them fitted in the end. Let's just say they are never coming off !! Seems like they just needed that 0.2-0.3mm enlargement.
-
Hi,
I used this for the airbox blank off, it was not a tight fit but used some silicone sealer.

Hey guys. Just a quick question. I'm looking for a temporary solution, until I decide whether to completely remove the AIS or not. Would cutting the AIS vacuum hose connected to the carb inlet and blocking both holes with a screw disable the AIS, or not. Can anything go wrong/broke by just pluging that hose on both (cut) ends and not removing the AIS at the same time. I'm just looking to get rid of the popping sound on deceleration, and would like to see if it's worth buying the block off plates, as I already changed my spark plugs with AIS fitted.
-
Just got round to fitting the caps after a bit of fettling on my mates lathe...

now thats a clean engine....mine looks awful :'(

Hi,
Are you still making the caps for the AIS removal.
Would be very interested if they are still available.
Many thanks.
-
Viv,
You'd need to pm stevegixer.He's the guy who was able to get them made.

Hi all, i was thinking of pulling of the AIS, i am ok with tapping and fitting bolts but had a thought, use exhaust goo and push in a 12mm spigot, will this work...............or is someone on here still selling removal kits?

Quoting so people can read - really hate the way the software these forums use auto resizes text.
IMHO if you're OK with tapping I would do this as although it will take a bit more time and effort you know it will be permanent.
