Hey all. I'm not sure if the AI has been removed on my bike or not (I suspect that it has). Can anyone post a picture of a bike showing the AI, or at least where the AI would have been before it was removed?

It connects next to the spark plugs. A big long metal tube with a hose in the end. If it's ben removed there'll be a hex head bolt or similar in there.

Would it be obvious looking at the outside of the bike?

Indeed so...........looks like I can see the top of an AI blanking plug next to that spark plug cap. A closer view of the cylinder head from the same angle would be good though.

That's the only picture I have on this computer. I'll take a look at it when I get home. I'll probably be able to figure it out then.

Looks like it's gone to me but pretty far away for me to tell 100%.

I checked yesterday. It's definitely gone. There's a little bolt with a Union Jack stamped on it next to the spark plug. Thanks for the assistance, guys.
