Pair valve blocking help

[AdamMathew]

I’ve just installed a full Akra exhaust system so I want to block the pair valve before having the bike mapped/tuned.

Does anybody have any pictures of the hose that I need to block?

Will the bike throw any errors if I just block the hose and don’t remove the full pair valve system?

If Gen-1, (you've not told us which you have), the pair valves are not sensed, so no codes will pop up if you just block the hoses and would be the same as just blocking the valves themselves. There's two pair valves on the Gen-1.

Thanks Smithy & apologies it’s a gen 1!

Didn’t realise there would be 2 are they relatively close together?

They both live in the rocker cover.

Why would you want to get them blocked? They don't affect performance negatively and you can disable them via a tune anyway, they are electronically activated, as you might have noticed Road mode disables them too.
