Mine has a slight leak on one (maybe two) downpipe gaskets with Beowulf cans so it really does pop on the overrun. Its such a PIA to refit the seal I've never bothered.

With fairing and subframe off as a result of this; diversionclub.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=14285, I decided to remove the AIS gubbins from my D9. The AIS is an emissions system for California laws and summising a trip there on the divvy was not on the cards, I thought why not? Surprised me how much carp is involved in this 'clean' air contraption, numerous rubber pipes/clips, reed valves and metal pipes where it clamps onto the exhaust side of the head (where the spark plugs are). Removed all this;  Blanked outlet at the bottom of the airbox, same with smaller rubber pipe on carb/exhaust side, and capped plugs where they emerge from the exhaust side of the head with these little beauties;  Made and supplied by Reaper of this site, thanks Paul  . All in all, not too long a job and a darn sight cleaner looking inside the fairing and near the plugs. Off to test tomorrow, no doubt with all that weight saving she'll be 10 mph faster now too  |

Hi, I've saved an Xj from rotting in an overgrown garden, it's a bit tatty so just looking to get it back on the road basic and semi street fighter style which may go against the grain with some diversion owners but at least I've saved it and brining back to life.
But yes I was shocked when I took the fairing off and found the AIS gubbins as you say.
I too am looking to get rid of all this enabling a cleaner front end as I won't be putting the badly broken faring again , so I'm after anyone who can direct me to getting a component similar to that above that will cap off the air inlets to the exhaust valves at the head?
I see a member of the forum may have made yours was that a one off or would they make more ??

It's all above. Or you could just fill the stub pipes with silicone sealer. It's safe to more than 200 dregs C so well up to the task.

You could simply cut the metal pipe off about about 30-40mm from the joint, crimping the end in a vice to create the seal     |

Love the look of that, think the guy wanted something rugged he could rely on to cross Africa on! Personally I think I'd trust a good Divvy more than many other bikes if I was planning to do something like that. Love the longer travel suspension and big fuel tank must be great! |

What you don't need when riding across Africa is a lardy D9 or any of the lardy adventure bikes, what you need is a lightweight single Imagin having to pick up a D9 on your own, full of luggage having just fallen off in mud! |

Yes I see what you mean, my thoughts too really about the whole 'adventure' bike thing! I was just impressed by the way he had adapted a Diversion to do exactly what he wanted it to do (and seems it did!) I think for outright reliability and ease of keeping it going there isn't much else that can compare to the Divvy, if I was planning a huge trip I'd certainly see the Diversion as one of the bikes I'd not think twice about taking. A 45 litre tank would be really decent! |

Just fitted some new blanking caps from Reaper, very happy with them as have sealed the stubs up nicely and look very tidy indeed. These ones look a little better than the earlier design shown on here with rubber caps being solid metal throughout without the rubber cap shown in the earlier picture on here, and a single grub screw on each.  |

Yep, they are nicely made, mine have two grub screws in each, (shown in first post on this thread), he's obviously economising nowadays. |

Hi all. Just picked up and started to breathe new life into my XJ900. Been reading a lot about this AIS system.
I have messaged Reaper regarding some caps, but he hasn't been online since 2013 so I'm not holding out hope!
Can someone help/advise on what needs doing and if I ordered silicone hose caps and relevant clips, what size am I after?
Thanks and sorry for the major newbie question!

Hi. I too have removed the afformentioned. Reaper made me some caps, but while I was waiting I used some 15mm copper pipe about 30 or 40mm long. I soldered on a stop end, then just tapped the copper pipe over the stub on the head. it was a snug fit.

Eh up, pretty much as Brian says size wise and one or two have done it with copper pipe. Paul (Reaper), does still frequent the site, but he's a little shy bless him  . If he sees your messag I'm sure he'll be in touch. You certainly seem educated enough to ask for some advise, if you wouldn't mind please teejayexcOoh, a new sig methinks |

Shy me oh you making my blush. Sorry if I don`t apear online as often but I do check in at least once a week. I came up with the caps to remove the AIS on my Fazer after chainging the spark plugs and thinking there has got to be an easier way.  I have sold quite a few sets over the last few years to D900 and Fazer 1000 and early R1 owners as they fit all 3 bikes. If you are not faint harted and like a risk you can drill and tap the stubbies and then blank them of with a cap screw. Or you can purchase a set of caps from myself @ £15 inc P&P I make these to order and say around a week for delivery. I will answer any PM`s as soon as I see them. |
