I got hold of some block off plates to help with more acurate tuning and to try and stop all the back firing. I want to remove the pump and and all the crap that comes with it.

Any advice on how to plug the holes that will be left when the hoses are removed and also is there anything els i need to do? I've heaard about people needing to mod the crank case, is this right?

Depends on what year your bike is mine needed a resister to remove the pump; otherwise F1 fault light comes on. I just found a stopper for the airbox and fitted plates dead easy mod and think of all that lovely space....ahhh.

Shes an 03 model. does the Fi light being on cause a problem?

No but easy to fix you can A. Leave the pump hooked up or B. Stick a resister across the connections where the pump was and that will fool the ECU into thinking the pumps still there.

Maybe the UK has something different but the my 02 didn't require any resister to remove the air valve switch (which most call the pump).

I plugged off the vacuum line going to the throttle bodies and found a plug that fir the airbox.

They changed the pump & pipe arrangment after a certain year mine is a B6F model and doesn't have the vacuum line to the pump, just the electrical connection + pipe in and pipe out. Comes straight from the airbox to the pump then splits into 2 and goes to either smog plate. Removing the pump throws a F1 light fault, hence adding resister stops it .

Sounds like what the US 04/05 models have on them.

That's the 1 chuck, you will need the resister if the unit is being removed which I think is the best way along with the pucker plates.

so basicly I can just remove everythin and just plug up any holes that are left? then install my block off plates + sort out the Fi light.

I have a 2000 zx12. And have a Muzzy bolt on exhaust. On decel my bike pops. And it idles ruff. Would taking the clean air system out and blocking it off help that.

Scout, try both the pilot jet and kleen mods.
