Or just get a proper spark plug socket.

@@GPz84 I almost think the rubber hose is a better solution. If the plug socket comes loose from the extension and drops into the hole along with the plug, it's just that much more weight on the plug when it hits bottom. The hose also allows more feeling when starting the threads to keep from cross threading.

I cant helieve he dropped them in either. I like this tip, even more so than using a spark plug socket that has a potential for the plug to slip out. Unlikely but in tight quarters like this bike, im taking all precautions to not damage the plug or top threads

Nope. Just declutter underneath and an insignificant weight savings.

The PAIR system is a system made to take exhaust gases and put them back into the airbox (or the other way around, I believe it depends on the bike). It's an emissions thing that's pretty stupid to be honest.

The pair system bleeds air from the airbox into the exhaust ports at low rpm's and throttle load..it's purpose is to to bleed "raw" or clean air into the catalyst, the engine runs a little rich while doing so, so the catalyst gets both unburned fuel and oxygen to do its catalysing, and reduces emissions. Proof that this is the concept comes from when the inlet rubbers get old and start leaking, the bikes exhaust sensors spot a lean exhaust stream and it then closes off the pair system.

Most bikes have the same type of system. I deleted the pair valve on my 2019 klx250 and 2020 r3 as well

@@hellfire08 Got a Bandit 650 from 2011 and was tempted to do the same. But ended up keeping the bike entirely stock

Thanks everyone for your helpful answers!!! Basically sounds like a PCV-system on a cager!?!?! Thanks for taking the time to answer!!! It's appreciated!!! :-)

Ah ok, I only have the owner's manual, on page 103 it says to tighten 1/2 turn for NGK. Good to know the actual number is 12 nm.

Yep, I'm going to use steel wool on them, should clean right up.

No it’s safe if done properly. It’s for emissions.

Center stands are standard on the 6th Gen VFR. As far as getting an after Market one. I honestly have no idea

Good tip!

It’s for emissions. Mine was already disabled so I was just getting rid of it to save some space and weight.

@@HeroRR thank you.

This works on traditional copper-based plugs but could damage the iridium plugs so might not be a good idea for those type of plugs.

@@NevinPower Who told you that? Was it a spark plug salesman by any chance?

@@NevinPower Iridium is a chemical element with the symbol Ir and atomic number 77. A very hard, brittle, silvery-white transition metal of the platinum group, it is considered the second-densest naturally occurring metal with a density of 22.56 g/cm³ as defined by experimental X-ray crystallography. Wikipedia Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, in proportions which can be varied to achieve varying mechanical, electrical, and chemical properties. It is a substitutional alloy: atoms of the two constituents may replace each other within the same crystal structure. Please explain why you believe brass will damage iridium. I have no idea how humans can regress so much in their comprehension of basic facts in such a short time.

@@G58 cool, do whatever you want. You obviously have not "regressed". I'm sure you're a lovely person having a bad day. Best of luck with your spark plug issue.

@@NevinPower You amused me with your reply: “G58 cool, do whatever you want. You obviously have not "regressed". I'm sure you're a lovely person having a bad day. Best of luck with your spark plug issue.” Have you considered that I might actually just be someone using common sense? But by all means engage in the straw man aspects of the debate and ignore all the facts I gifted you. 🧐😎😜

i dont have that, can i use some other type?

It was already blocked off because when you get your bike dyno'd you have to disable it. There are no benefits to having it on so why not get rid of it.

Yeah it's not a performance improvement at all. It only saves about 2 lbs of weight and does nothing other than that... however it does remove a lot of clutter underneath which I like.
