Squid WithGear not true. My bike is tuned for the the exhaust i have and the A/F ratio is perfect. But the poping on the bike has nothing to do with too much or too little fuel. The AIS system causes the pops.
late to the party here but I just did this today and this video was a good reference. The hardest part was taking those dumb little push clips out of the side 'air intakes' for me. which I thought was hilarious that the video sort of glazed over. I gotta find a tool for those stupid things. Anyway just wanted to put a 'thank you' other there. Helpful professional video.
FYI when taking the tank off, take the 10mm hex screws out instead of the Allen screws. Then the tank won't drop down and scratch the shit out of the frame. 9:18 I've seen the damage done on a few FZ09s from those brackets coming into contact with the frame.
Thanks for this tip. I plugged the AIS system today, and it was much easier to avoid any frame scratching by removing the 10mm hex bolts from each side. Anyone else watching this video, do not remove the allen bolts from the sides of the tank...remove the 2 10mm hex bolts from either side instead.
Thanks for doing this. One suggestion I would make is that as soon as you take the airbox off, stuff *clean* paper towels or shop rags into the throttle bodies to keep anything from falling into them. I prefer red rags, so you have three red flags reminding you to remove them on reassembly.
I just purchased the block off plates. I have a 2015 model and put on a full termi exhaust with BMC race filter. I liked the popping at the start but then it becomes to much for my taste, when i have a passenger on the back the popping gets even worse on deceleration. After this i will get the ECU flashed. Thanks for the video.
It does not really sound any different with the exception it will reduce the popping and farting on deceleration when you are riding it hard. Difficult simulate this accurately on the table as there is no load on the motor. - Van
Yes it will. Here is a link to the HealTech Yamaha FZ-09 / MT-09 14-22 PAIR System Eliminator that will keep the light off: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/healtech-yamaha-fz-09-14-17-pair-system-eliminator/
Is it OK to NOT do the block-offs if you DONT mind the popping and farting? Will it hurt the bike running a full exhaust WITHOUT the plates? Thanks!!!!
So can I do this if I have a full exhaust just to stop the pops, And not get a tune. Will this hurt the engine in any way. Planning on getting a tune next year but just want less popping now.
Hi. after such a refinement, the pops in the direct-flow muffler decreased, but, with a sharp (full) opening of the gas, the motorcycle accelerates poorly. could it be due to lack of air? or, what other thoughts do you have?
This should not have any impact on the performance or acceleration of the bike. If there is an issue it would not be a result of installing these block off plates. - Van
@@Therealrickybobby. no increase in power, just deletes the AIS which eliminates the popping through the exhaust. This can also be achieved through tuning but the plates make it look nicer, allow more room and saves a tiny bit of weight
Sportbike Track Gear I wasn't sure if it's just help with the popping and Flames or feel also assisted somewhat and performance. Thanks again for the response
hi guys I have a 05 r1 just installed cat delete y pipe and Vance Hines race baffle kit best 100.00 bucks I spent. my next plan is install block offs and velocity stacks. my question on the instructions I received with driving plates it says in Astrix Fi light will come on if you unplug wiring of smog. I haven't heard this in any of the videos. anything to this??
Question. If you sealed off the ais hose, and put the gasket over the nipple, would it do the same thing without installing the plates???? Just wondering ?
Yes you will need to install the HealTech Yamaha FZ-09 / MT-09 14-24 PAIR System Eliminator. Here is a link to that on our site: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/healtech-yamaha-fz-09-14-17-pair-system-eliminator/ - Van
Yes you can, it will not create any issues. I am assuming you used a map from the Dynojet database and did not have one custom made on a dyno when I say this. - Van
Sportbike Track Gear yeah the bike runs really well yet The full Yoshi on it makes the bike lighter and more efficient. The poppy sounds are at a minimum
I don't know why you would want to get rid of the de-acceleration - occasional - popping /gurgling?? I love it on my fz09 and it makes it sound beautifully aggressive ;-) #scorpion serket slipon
Hi van, I'm after a set of blanking plates for my zx6 race bike. Do you ship to the UK as over your website it says " can't ship to this location' Cheers Blake
I am pretty sure it depends on the year of the bike. In 2016 (maybe 17) the electronics changed which will trigger a light when this is removed without having a flash to disable the PAIR system. - Van
Quick question, I'm planning to flash my ECU and get the bike dyno tuned soon and I found out the AIS system can be turned off at the ECU with the flash. If I just disable it at the ECU, would I still need the block off plates? Would it still mess with my AF readings if I just turn it off at the ECU but leave the whole system attached? Thanks by the way, love your videos!
These are emissions related to help the bike meet the standards set. Removing these should only be done when the bike will be used in offroad or closed course situations. - Van
The blu connector you have knok off you are let him free? I have remap the ecu and my bike don't make pops and flames anymore, i should buy this block off plates?
You can tape it up or use a shrink tube if you prefer. If you have installed a full system you should also install the plates and flash the ecu.

Nice job all the squids had to dmsay was lossen the ??? How many blots...make the job much easer??? Please only real motorcycle mechanics should ever give advice. Thank you STG . thats the only place get parst... long as my next order has no peoblems #stgmotorcycles
Just did this yesterday every with the GRAVES block off plates and the Yoshi R-77 full system installed. Unfortunately, I noticed the "CHECK ENGINE" came up and was wondering maybe the solenoid that was removed may have triggered it. Any thoughts would be highly appreciated. Thanks!
Are you talking about the "Throttle Servo Motor"? I did not touch or remove this. All I did was i disconnected the Air intake solenoid wire, the REED VALVE covers, HOSES and replaced with the GRAVES Smog block-off covers.
slikmonk I had to reinstall the solo no I'd less all the hoses.put the electrical plug back in and hey presto,sorted. He did a crap video because you must reinstall the solo no I'd or get check engine light every time. hope that helps
A couple of Questions: 1. Is it possible to LOWER the seat on the 2015 FZ-09 or not? 2. If YES, do you have a video illustrating the process? 3. If YES again; can any idiot do it like myself or does the process need a PRO like YOU? 4. If YES yet again; could it be lowered 2" or more? THANKS
***** thank you for the information. Honestly I only ride, I have never worked on any M/C, so do you know of any high quality brand that you can suggest that I purchase. Thanks again.
Removing everything and installing the block off plates is much cleaner. End of the day they are pretty inexpensive which makes this the way to go IMO. - Van
Bryan Thamas. Sin city! STG just a shot out! Thank for talking care a bad communication problem. My fault😕😕1 more part and i am half way. Suspension Forkes and a shock the RIGHT SHOCK!!!.

Is this the same person that went off on my staff because FedEx rerouted a package during the Coronapocolypse? Shipping delays are no ones favorite, that said they are totally out of our control at this time. - Van
Such a waste, such useful information, but the man behind the camera does not know what he should be recording. Just an opinion.... 13:44-15:13 is a great example. Nonetheless great video, thanks.
We do the best we can, these how to videos are very difficult to do (notice none of the other shops do as many). My focus is on the information first with the production quality second. That said our current video tech (Video Steve) does a dam fine job on the videos. - Van
I feel like there was a missed opportunity where you could of had a before and after sound test. Great video by the way definitely helpful!
This video helped me through the install. Thanks STG for making this video!

Can the ais valves be manually closed via ecu flash?
+fxnytroxtx Yes they can
thanks for the video. installed my driven block off with the aid of this video
Really love hearing we have helped people out! A mechanic at the AMA round this weekend told me I was able to help him!
i love the popping on my Fz09 and the flames too👍
It's cool but means your mix is off :p

@@connorbeckmann2981 sorry, what is AIS system?

Anyway just wanted to put a 'thank you' other there. Helpful professional video.
really like the way the bike is coming. I love to see some suspension work done on it as well in the future.
Gonna pick up a pair of these with a BMC race filter next week hopefully!

Hey dave can you tell me where i can purchase those block off platrs for my yamaha mt 09 2014?
Yeah true, we want b4 n after sound for the thing u did.. that is the intention of the topic video

Very cool, thanks Brian
If you also remove the electric valve will your check engine light come on??
Yes it will. Here is a link to the HealTech Yamaha FZ-09 / MT-09 14-22 PAIR System Eliminator that will keep the light off: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/healtech-yamaha-fz-09-14-17-pair-system-eliminator/
Is it OK to NOT do the block-offs if you DONT mind the popping and farting? Will it hurt the bike running a full exhaust WITHOUT the plates? Thanks!!!!
It won't really hurt the bike in the end. This is really more about getting the bike set up for a fuel controller and or a tune. - Van
So can I do this if I have a full exhaust just to stop the pops, And not get a tune. Will this hurt the engine in any way. Planning on getting a tune next year but just want less popping now.
Yes you can and no it will not hurt the engine. - Van

This should not have any impact on the performance or acceleration of the bike. If there is an issue it would not be a result of installing these block off plates. - Van
unless they were installed incorrectly and are leaking, you should also notice a strange sound if that’s the case
What does it do exactly? Does it give you more power or just sound nicer?
i think it stops the popping an backfiring on a aftermarket full exhaust thats about it
Yes. I’m also curious. Is it strictly cosmetic or is there a HP increase also ?
@@Therealrickybobby. no increase in power, just deletes the AIS which eliminates the popping through the exhaust. This can also be achieved through tuning but the plates make it look nicer, allow more room and saves a tiny bit of weight
great video that is extremely helpful for numbies :) With the change from the stock to the M4 slip on exhaust, is flashing the ECU a must?
Not essential but a good idea to get peak performance from your motorcycle!

Yes it would be the same end result just not as clean of a solution. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear Thank you.
@@sportbiketrackgear I am gonna try this first and see how it sounds.
Will it through a code without resistor???
Yes you will need to install the HealTech Yamaha FZ-09 / MT-09 14-24 PAIR System Eliminator. Here is a link to that on our site: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/healtech-yamaha-fz-09-14-17-pair-system-eliminator/ - Van
Do you have to have it tuned or flash the ECM after instal?
You do not have to but if you are going to do this and install a full exhaust system some sort of tuning is not a bad idea. - Van
Can you do this with a power commander already on the bike
Yes you can, it will not create any issues. I am assuming you used a map from the Dynojet database and did not have one custom made on a dyno when I say this. - Van
Sportbike Track Gear yeah the bike runs really well yet The full Yoshi on it makes the bike lighter and more efficient. The poppy sounds are at a minimum
I don't know why you would want to get rid of the de-acceleration - occasional - popping /gurgling?? I love it on my fz09 and it makes it sound beautifully aggressive ;-) #scorpion serket slipon
What are the technical advantages of doing this, other than the pops in the exhaust? What does it achive?
It will reduce the pops and farts on decel, allow a tuner to get an accurate tune and it cleans up the area under the air box. - Van
Hi van,
I'm after a set of blanking plates for my zx6 race bike. Do you ship to the UK as over your website it says " can't ship to this location'
Cheers
Blake
We ship internationally everyday. Please shoot me an email with the part you wanted and your address so we can dig into this issue. - Van
what ever happened to the PCV with auto tune vid? im doing those on my fz09 but cant find any good vids on using / setting up the auto tune!
Will the engine throw a code if u install this?
I am pretty sure it depends on the year of the bike. In 2016 (maybe 17) the electronics changed which will trigger a light when this is removed without having a flash to disable the PAIR system. - Van
What about the check engine light that won't go off?

please answer this guys.... I need to put the block off plates even if I install just a slip on?? and go to yamaha to adjust my mix???
no need just for a slip on
Does anyone know if i would still be able to get a bike inspected with these installed? in the state of NC
Do you think they disassemble your engine during the 5 minute inspection?
No they will never be able to tell unless they have xray vision.

Would you recommend a power commander v over a bazazz??????
