Block off plates

[17-CB-002]

Hey guys,

I ordered these K Factory block off plates shortly after I got all of that work done, and I finally put them in yesterday. Installation was a snap, (didn't even have to remove the tank!) probably took 5 minutes per side.

Initially I removed all of the diaphragm assembly, then I noticed the dimples/detents in the block off plates corresponded with the screws on top of the diaphragms. The instructions were all in Japanese, so I had to wing it.

No more popping on decel, and no more more burbles. Also, the throttle twitchiness is completely gone now!

I had removed the cat and 02 sensor already when I had a custom exhaust system made. The bike was popping on decel and even from when I got it, it had some throttle twitchiness/snatchiness which was particularly noticeable in u-turns or slow speed maneuvering. The block off plates resolved all of those issues for my situation. Had I not upgraded the exhaust and deleted the cat, I would not have likely done the plates.

"it had some throttle twitchiness/snatchiness which was particularly noticeable in u-turns or slow speed maneuvering. The block off plates resolved all of those issues for my situation."
Is there an explanation why the "Twichiness/Snatchness" issue disappeared when the plates are blocked off? or is it due to the elimination of the Cat and O2?
