Alternative Block Off Plates than Graves

Maybe this will help. These are the Graves ones Mike is referring to and the how-to:

No real benefit for doing this on a stock system. The reason for doing them after adding an afx exhaust is because now there is no cat to burn off any unused fuel, so you get that annoying popping. It's caused by the AIS system dumping air into the exhaust. With the block off plates, you prevent the air from being dumped into the exhaust and thereby prevent the unused fuel from burning and causing the pops.

Yeah wow a lot of veterans here posted within 5 minutes.
To clear up some questions:
They go underneath the airbox of the FZ6-R, you remove the AIS hoses and just toss it and "block" them off with these.
These are useful in any aftermarket exhaust mod you do, as they eliminate the popping sound on decel, and give you a better read out if you're running it on a Dyno.
I believe these will fit the FZ6-R as the graves one that I've ordered were for the R6.
(Air Induction System) is different from the O2 Sensor. The O2 sensor (which isn't on the FZ6-R) I believe is on the bottom near the exhaust while the AIS is under the Gas tank, Air Box.
Like I mentioned before, a lot of people put these on their bikes it's not just R6's and FZ6-R's. It's for a better read out of the exhaust for a custom dyno, reduces annoying popping on decel, and some other stuff.
Roaddawg posted the link to the full install on these and I just figured I'd share this find because I couldn't justify spending 35+shipping on plates that you don't even see.

A little popping is normal, even if you listen to the pro's specially tuned bikes you'll hear popping.
If you do it right (Exhaust, Fuel management tune, smog block offs) it'll reduce popping by a lot.
I ordered a set of the Roth plates. $22.73 with shipping.
I guess since we start with 471 pounds....anything you can remove/replace that makes the bike lighter is a plus and since I was thinking about getting my bike dyno'd with the PC V and my header/can setup, I'll probably get a better map out of the deal.
I wanted to re-check the TB sync again anyways so this will be a good excuse to do it.

Other part of the question... it's done so the unused fuel can burnup in the cat... so, if you did this (to lose the weight, plus not to have to fight those stupid tubes when changing the plugs) with a stock system....Are there any bad side effects, or possibility of damaging anything?
I'm thinking if it's just a little plate, and no one can see it, I have some extra Delrin sheets (and aluminum as well) laying around that could be put to use.

hey, hey, I resemble that remark!
Plus, we got scraps around the shop... they're just waiting to be put to use (on my bike)...
jspansel, at one point, even had a piece to make a custom FE...
The only negative to the block offs is that you are polluting like a mo' fo' with the unused fuel and wouldn't pass an emissions inspection. Additionally, it might be possible that the unused fuel may burn up afx cans quicker, but I can't exactly comment on that as of yet, so it's just speculation.
The most likely place that you will get the exhaust leak is probably at the headers and exhaust manifold. I still think I have one from when I installed mine. I believe it would sound like the yami tick, but louder.
