Good evening.
I'm looking to remove the emissions modules (the evaporative emissions and PAIR systems) on my Kymco. Thus far, I have removed the Evaporative Emissions controls, but haven't gone farther than that.
I need the correct part to cap off the PAIR system. I have a replacement valve cover available, but will need the caps for the "air port" (the shiny piece) on the head.
No, I'm not seeking performance increases, I just want to simply get rid of the emissions controls.
Does anyone know where to get the cap and the "air port" gasket used to cap the PAIR system? Once I get those, I can remove the canister (and hoses) from the bike safely.
Thanks in advance.

You just need to put a cap on the head, and cover up the open vacuum port and you should be good. No need for a different valve cover. Just makes it look normal.

Fill the hole with quick steel or jb weld stick works great done it many times

If you use anything to fill the hole MAKE SURE it is completely dry, because that what the PAIR system does is SUCK in fresh air so there will be suction at that point. And if anything is not dry or can come apart it will be sucked into your exhaust port. I would play it safe and cape it with a piece of flat piece of steel. Alleyoop

I second the flat piece of steel with a gasket or rtv, as long as you let it cure. And if it was me, I would only use red rtv......
Why rinky around with something that if it fails could crater your engine.

Emissions systems sucessfully capped/removed from the bike. Just needed to wait on the vaccum port gasket-thingy. I took my scooter to a local mechanic with a compression tester, and it seems like age is finally catching up on the engine. Compression is around 145-150psi, which isn't bad (I guess), but is an indicator of wear and tear. After all, the engine's seen 23,767KMs. It might be about time to do this (or a rebuild?)... itistheride.boards.net/thread/5119/2009-kymco-agility-engine-options
