Pair Valve Mod...Tape OK?

Alright, so I've lifted the tank and taken off the hose and I don't have a marble to block it, so I'm thinking why not just put a bit of electrical tape over where the hose attaches to the air filter box, then slip the hose back over it?

I'm only really any good at fixing broken cats and dogs, so can any of you mechanical blokes tell me if that'd be okay?

I mean, I don't see any way the tape would be sucked out, 'cos the tube'd be holding it in place. Is there any way the tape could be sucked into something important?

Thanks.
 
:laugh: That is exactly what I did... Black electrical tape, and after 12,000 + miles it is still doing the job !!!:thumbsup: :beerchug:
 
wood dowel, black tape, big ol turd... anything that stops the air from flowing will work.. (may not last forever but black tape wont hurt anything)
 
Used the tape, put it back together, bike runs perfectly with no annoying snap, crackle, and pop on deceleration now.

Thanks again all.
 
I feel like a dummy for asking this, but what does the pair valve look like and which side does it go into? I have an 06 Busa and need to block off the pair valve to get my power commander mapped right.

It's totally different on the Gen-I and Gen-II.

The Gen-I has a big pump on the front of the engine with lines running to each cylinder. You've got to remove the pump and block the cylinder where the lines went in. That's why it needs the block off plates and takes some time to do it (if you've got the exhaust off already maybe 5-minutes, without closer to 45-minutes or longer depending on your ability)....

On the Gen-I it's as simple as blocking one single line that plugs into the right (throttle) side of the airbox. It takes maybe 5-minutes if that... ;)

why is it different,its just a "marble mod" either way, the block off plates are just to remove all the added weight if your that inclined but you really dont need ot remove them for the mod to be effective???

tell me if I missed something here
 
You can plug it with anything you want but it sounded like he wanted to know the full difference between the two bikes.

To do the full mod, it's more of a pain on the Gen-I. A simple marble will solve the issue on either bike but you'll still have the pump and tubes on the Gen-I engine which are no longer needed. You are just carrying around an unneeded pump (maybe 3lbs. nothing major).

If you need anymore info try a search, lots of pictures and info on this... :beerchug:
 
I did the pair valve mod and ran a 005 map on it. One of my friends who will remain nameless, clocked me at 209mph. The pair valve mod and the power commander made a world of difference in the running of my bike. I have no backfire and the bike runs smooth. I am taking it to be dyno'd on Saturday. I'll let you guys know the outcome.:thumbsup:
