#15878 jetmechanic (User) Let go and let God! Expert Boarder Posts: 511 AIS Removal 5 Years, 3 Months ago   Hey Fellas, I am new to the site and was wandering what are the benefits of removing the AIS system. Any help would be appreciated. I haven't messed with my AIS system yet, and was wandering if it is worth it, and how hard is it. Thanks   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #15880 StarMyram (User) STARVE to RIDE, RIDE to LIVE Gold Boarder Posts: 906 Re:AIS Removal 5 Years, 3 Months ago   Welcome to the Clinic Jetmechanic, I myself think removing th AIS system makkes the bike look cleaner. It think it also gets rid of the annoying &quot;chirping noise&quot; created by the AIS reed valves. I am not sure whether or not removing the AIS will increase performance though, (Doc Shadow, Musky or others would know for sure.) Try typing: AIS into the &quot;search forum&quot; box at the top right of your screen, and hit your Enter button. There's lots to read up on and you might be able to make your decision based on all the info.   Logged     A Fallen Man is not a failure.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #15882 StarMyram (User) STARVE to RIDE, RIDE to LIVE Gold Boarder Posts: 906 Re:AIS Removal 5 Years, 3 Months ago   Oh yeah, We must not forget... One of the most common reasons for AIS removal is the typical &quot;Roadie backfire&quot; which is caused by air being introduced into the exhaust system by the AIS.   Logged     A Fallen Man is not a failure.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #15887 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:AIS Removal 5 Years, 3 Months ago   It's Ugly. Cuts down on decal popping. It's ugly. Some people have other noises.

THe AIS pumps extra air in, and that I guess you could say, would cause a lean condition....therefore causing the popping and backfiring out the pipes. I removed the AIS, installed aftermarket pipes and no more popping and backfiring.   Logged     2008 Harley Crossbones.

Expert Boarder Posts: 511 Re:AIS Removal 5 Years, 3 Months ago   See the thing is, I have the Vance and Hines staggered short exhausts, and I have never had any popping or backfiring or anything like that. Also, do I have to remove the gas tank to remove the AIS? I am not familiar with the AIS, PMS adjustment or anything with that system. Any help would be appreciated.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #15936 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:AIS Removal 5 Years, 3 Months ago   Het jet The AIS and the PMS aren't really connected. Taking the AIS off won't require you to mess with anything alse. If you go into the tech tips and scroll down you will find the AIS folder. It tells you how to remove it depending on if you have a 1600 or 1700. Also if you have the California model. I didn't have to take the tank off but I had to take the bolt out of the back and raise the back up a little. There's nothing saying you have to take it off so don't feel any pressure to. It won't hurt a thing to leave it on.<br><br>Post edited by: Musky, at: 2007/02/02 11:14   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #15941 Kipper (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 138 Re:AIS Removal 5 Years, 3 Months ago   Musky wrote: It's Ugly.
