PAIR Plates Still Available?

[SkooterG]

I'm looking for PAIR plates for my 2014.  Is anybody currently making them?

Love how the site says:

 If you're looking at these, you probably know what they're for (and how they shouldn't be used on emission controlled street vehicles!).

Thanks!  Duh!  I guess I could have tried Google.  I just figures they were a local forum product.

I thought I read somewhere here that when you eliminate PAIR on the newer bikes (13 up) that it throws a code?  I ran 'em for over 100K on my '09 w/no issues.   I'd love to put them on my '18 if they play OK with all them new fangled electronix...

IIRC that was from the solenoid valve.  On the Gen2 you can disconnect and remove it.  On the Gen3 it throws a code if removed.  You can still remove the plates & hoses, just leave the valve intact with capped off hoses.

Installed plates and removed the solenoid on my '15...no lights anywhere, although I haven't looked too hard for stored codes. No issues with run-ability before or after with the flashed ECU.

Of course, closed course use only!!

Same here , 2013.  No codes before or after flash when plates installed.

You have a mighty big closed course! JSNS

 Remember though that some of the latest years will detect the missing solenoid and throw an error, ....

Fred thinks so too, but I suspect we really don't know which model this started with.

It started with the one that has the OBD2 connection. What ever that year is.  2016 I believe. Now what I don't know is whether someone has left the selenoid in and added the plates without issues.

Dave, are you still selling the block off plates?

Thanks, I'll pull the tank and take a look at that.

I used the this set.  Worked great.

Keep and reuse the rubber gasket from your original covers. Unscrew the reed valves and remove.

No, haven't been for a while now.

Greg & I installed the plates on my ‘14, removed the solenoid & just stowed the solenoid connector. No issues or codes on mine (yet).
