Ok. Thanks for the tips. I just got done removing both the PARR system as well as that fuel vapor system coming off the top of the tank. My cover plate is on its way to cover that port; got it from scooterpartsplace. I used a hose and fuel filter placed backwards off the tank. It's zip tied on top of the tank like mentioned here and the YouTube videos. So much less clutter now!

Hey guys. I am doing my PDI; replacing all the vacuum and fuel lines and I have run into something I haven't seen on videos. I did some reading and I think what I have is a PAIR system, but I am not sure. I read another post indicating that EGR systems and PAIR systems can look the same, so i wanted to ask what you guys see. If it is a PAIR system, I intend on buying a non-egr valve cover and cover plate for that little opening on the head. In the picture below the left hand side is where the PAIR system is. On the right is the fuel tank vapor line that goes to a canister. Based on Alleyoop's comment in this thread, I intend on removing the vacuum line and canister and placing a good fuel hose on the vent of the tank and capping it with a filter.  Also, I am confused about the breather hose coming out of the valve cover. Right now it goes to a T. One hose out of the T goes into the transmission housing and the other goes to a hose that I can't remember where to connect.  I have seen videos of people that just have that hose hanging loose and fed back into the frame open ended. So what do I do with these hoses? |

Thanks for the links and tips. My Pirellis are on their way. I talked to a motorsports store and they are going to mount and balance them for 25 bucks a piece; after watching the video of the guy struggling to get the damn tires off and the new ones on its 50 bucks Im ok with spending.  do you have to take the rims to them or will they do all the work? if they are doing all the work then that is $50 well worth spending imo. good advice. definitely upgrade the valve stems. i got mine here: www.ebay.com/itm/161222040455?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649you can find cheaper ones and more expensive, just don't go too cheap or you'll be replacing them again. That is me taking them to them; but the scoot is new so all I have to do is remove the back tire so it should be no big deal. I did buy valve stems. I got these. |

Hi. Love the forum.
I read a thread about folks replacing their tires with brands like Pirellis and Goodyear. I had some questions:
Where do you guys buy them? I checked scrappy dog and saw the Korean brand but not those I mentioned.
I can probably mount them but I don't know if I could hack balancing. Do you guys do it yourself or go to a bike store?
Thanks.
