Hi Guys,
A bit of an update on this mod. The original valves I used where from Jaycar Electronics and were cheap as ****. They worked but not enough air passed through them. I changed these out last night and went with two 2 port valves #N501 (AD-6A-N-12VDC 2/2way 1/8BSP) $15 bucks each. Piped it in and tidied it all up. Still need silencers but you can see from the pictures it looks better. Works a treat and decided to leave the switch were it is for now. Hope this helps anyone looking at doing this. Any valve supplier can fix you up as long as you state the valve sequence shown in the brackets ( ).

Was wondering why you would'nt just get a new LCV untill i checked the price anywhere from $310 to $230

hope mine never goes bad but if it does i'm going this route. Thanks Heff

Yeah 60ft,
Down under they want $540 and they can you **** themselves. All said and done it is a bypass valve that lets extra air in on start up, the rest of the time its closed. In summer down here you don't even need it.

Bit of an update on this mod,
Been using it most days since the larger valves have been installed. So much easier and quieter than the LCV. Just hit the switch before start-up and while putting the helmet on it has already picked up enough revs to switch off again. No more revving at the lights if it sticks, and no more loud sucking sound like 20 Japanese school students eating noodles for lunch. Very happy with the mod and would highly recommend to anyone.

This topic is a saver, we'll all be following your lead at some point.

Did you fit some form of air filtration to the inlet openings?

heff · 11-09-2011, 03:08 AM

Yeah I got some little 1/8" silencers and they work fine. How do you link this thread to the bottom of my posts like the one you have?

PS, love the "eating noodles" reference.

Thats why I love this forum. I have learnt so much stuff about my bike on here and all the good input from fellow members. This time I guess it was my turn to give something back that I understood how to do. Your time will come grasshopper.
