Wow, that's an odd one.
Remove the pair system.

 

[alex]

What he said. Didn't know it was possible, you can delete it.

 

[Ajj]

Yeah, straight forward job.
Blanking plates are available from Alpha Racing.

The cheapest/easiest way would be to remove air line from pump and put a bung in air line. And disconnect power to pump.

Or a tuner can switch it off.

Pair system parts from Gen3.

This is the sort of thing that pi$$es me off ..... Nothing that the owner has done, yet, the brand refuses that it is their problem? R&D is what it makes the bike, why do we have to pay for their mistakes?

Sorry guys I meant say a stone got stuck in the flapper valve not the PAIR,but it's still ***** that a stone got in there,would it had gone through the air filter?

 

[Ajj]

I was wondering how on earth you got a stone in there.

When you say flapper valve, are you referring to the flaps in the front of the airbox?

No, the flaps are in front of the air filter.
You can get delete kits from Alpha Racing or BT-Tuning. Or a tuner can set it so that the flaps are permanently open.

 

[paradoc]

I'm not sure if the flapper valves are behind or in front of the air filter,I've never looked,would deleting the flapper valve make the warranty void?

 

[Ajj]

Firstly you have to ask them, when they say flapper valve, are they referring to the flaps in the airbox?
The flaps are in front of the air filter.
Technically, yes. But if not directly related to your issue/claim, you should be OK.

HI.
Stones or other objects will not be able to get into the air box, don't worry, the air filter will catch them.
