Does anyone know what size object fits in the pair valve hose ???
I have read that if you use a marble to block it, but I would worry that if it broke there would be little bits of glass finding its way into the motor.
The next time I take my fairing off is when my r55 arrives and I hope to have a stainless steel ball bairing ready to insert into the pair hose.
I have turned the house upside down looking for a marble to measure and am thinking of hanging around the tin lids down the road lol

There is always the pack of 5/8" plastic caps from Bunnings for a few bucks.. And you'll get a few spares for your mates!

Got my plates and put them on.
You were right Pete, the holes were out. Lucky they are a bit bigger so I filed them to size. Made gaskets myself ( should be provided I say )and all seems ok. Left the bracket on and slid the wiring harness between the arms of the bracket.
Man they are the thickest reed valves i have ever seen.
What are they quarter gauge or what lol.
Purchased 5/8 plastic caps 6 for $2.?? from bunnings ( thanks daaef )and was a bit loose, and the clamps from the pair were to big so i wrapped some insulation tape around the pipe that comes off the air filter, pushed the cap on and then some more insolation tape around the rubber and pipe to make sure it stays there.
Come on R55. 4 weeks and counting
