I was thinking. Instead of spending close to $30 on block off plates couldn’t you just plug the two holes where the ais hoses were connected? Does anyone know what diameter hose Yamaha uses? If you could find a rubber cap or vacuum caps from an auto parts store to slip over the pipe and just use the spring clamps that were used to clamp the hoses on, wouldn’t that achieve the same results as block off plates?  |

Yes, but the rubber used for vacuum caps doesn't last long. Might have to replace it as a maintenance item from time to time. But yes it would work.

So the rubber vacuum caps aren’t made of the same rubber as the factory hose that Yamaha uses? Well I sure don’t want to have to pull airbox from time to time to check so guess I’ll get me sum plates. I did watch a vid where they pulled the factory plates off filled the holes with jb weld let set for 24hrs and put back on. |

Correct it's not the same composition. really block off plates are the cleanest approach I'm a cheapskate and I sprung for them.
however there is a post on here about just plugging the hole in then airbox where the system pulls air. that is the easiest way. leaves everything else intact and is easily reversible.
