Prepare for knowledge laced with sarcasm-

That's funny, because I could have sworn that "PAIR" are the initials for "Pulse Air Induction REED". Pull your PAIR valve cover off and tell me what the little metal flap screwed to the inside is. After you do that say "Hrmmmm" to yourself, then pull apart your PCV...... you'll find reed in it as well.

No need to post pictures when you have one to look at in your garage.

Aren't you the one that told me I was a "novice tuner" for not blocking mine off? You knew that it was supposed to be blocked off but didn't know why or what it was? I think I'll roll my eyes this time

That has nothing to do with him bogging under throttle/load. Thanks for educating me but that is not what's causing his problem.

Pulsed Air Induction Reed Valve - for all intents and purposes, it's the smog pump. Its job is to introduce fresh air into the exhaust upstream.

When I was bogging under load/throttle, capped mine, and then the scooter (I suppose by some random act of magic) started running correctly, makes it an experience I had that might be viable to helping his situation. He even said:

Just trying to help the guy. If you know that the PCV or PAIR valve "is not what's causing his problem", apply your knowledge to helping him instead of questioning others when you THINK they're wrong. Don't take this offensively, I'm not trying to dig at you...I'm just sayin'.

EDIT: Just read back and saw ya'll apparently don't like each other. What ever beef it is ain't got nothing to do with me, I has no beefs with Grant (only know him from here and never met in person) so I'll help him if I can. No offense to you, you're still my #3 Asian (My neighbor is first and Kenny got the next spot )

Sorry Fobangah I didn't mean to be a dick towards you. I'm all for helping out but show me no respect and I will do the same. We cool Fobangah as long as I'm still your number 3. :P

@ Nismo, you can hotwire it. Unfortunately, I can not tell you how to do it. Good luck!

You can easily replace the lock cylinder.

plugs wear out... and they're cheap. Fags on TR recommend replacing it once a year.
