#132607 dougc (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 16 AIS removal 3 Years, 7 Months ago   I am curious about the laws in other states regarding removal of the AIS. I see alot of discussion on this site about removing the AIS. Here in environmentally concerned Oregon it is a $10,000 fine if you are caught modifying or removing such devices. This would also apply to removing the catalytic converter from your car. YUK. The local Yamaha dealer has even stopped rejetting carbs except that they will rejet back to stock. What about other states? Doug   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #132617 Mark7 (Moderator) Look for me on MSN chat if you want.

Seems it's just another one of those senseless government rules that have no reason for even being there except to make someone feel good.

I take my bike to a Kawasaki dealer for the annual inspection, so what do they know about the R*? Not too worried about it, really. First off, the kit makes the thing look so clean I figure I'll just play dumb. Worse comes to worse I can put the crap back on but just plug all the lines. I will say, though, that I had it that way for a couple of weeks before getting a removal kit, and when I did remove the lines they had a bunch of water in 'em from condensation.

The Yamaha dealer was the one who sold me the kit to remove the AIS, which they said was only required in California. Since they have to make the bike 50 State legal, they build them to California emission standards. Now, here in TEXAS, we don't care what they do in California! Also, there are no emission tests done on Motorcycles in Texas. Ain't it great!!!   Logged     [img size=150][/img]http://russdustus.com/yahoo_site_admin/assets/images/ cover_art_2_013.240133435_std.JPG[img size=150][/img]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #132906 Tealw1 (User) If ya can't wear it, it ain't worth eatin Expert Boarder Posts: 599 Re:AIS removal 3 Years, 7 Months ago   It's pretty stupid actually. I'm in California and they require all this stuff for motorcycles, but there is no emissions testing done on motorcycles, only on cars. There's not even an inspection done on motorcyles, just buy em and mod em....no one watching.   Logged     CAGUAMA-Big and Cool   The administrator has disabled public write access.
