Flapper valve...

[Visionary]

What's this flapper valve everyones been raving about? LOL how do you remove it (can it be done by DIY or does one have to utilize a shop?) For those who have done the mod, are you feeling any difference in terms of performance?


Thanks in advance!

Well for the 08 it's simple I'm sure 07 is easy as well but I don't think it's noticeable at all really I just did it because my bike was in shambles and I heard its the cool thing to do hahahah

07 is a lot easier to do than the 08....i remember just disconnecting the vaccum hose and plug it with a screw


it did help with giving a smoother takeoff

Is it bad to remove it? I mean it's there for a reason right lol

You're just gonna loose a little back pressure .. But if you think about it .. You remove it when you replace the exhaust anyway so it doesn't matter

You can go further with the poor man's intake mod
or just replace the entire intake with an A-Tech or HRC replica

Awesome explanation, thank you sir ...now i've already had a map made specific to my mods (full exhaust/air filter) should i have another map made including this mod or drive it as is?
