hey guys ive only had my thruxton about 2 weeks and im enjoying it very much.

im reading alot about the AI removal and am keen to do it. it sounds quite simple.

i have had a bit of a read on here about the correct procedure to do it and when im looking at my engine i cant see the parts mentioned.

also there are allready a few rubber stoppers over inlets to the carbies.

here is a pic of my carby setup if anyone can tell me.
cheers

See if the holes next to your spark plugs are pluged up. If so your good to go. They might have done it at the dealer, or if you bought it used someone else did it. From the picture it looks like it.

Yes, your air injection is already gone according to the photo. Just to be sure , look next to your spark plugs, there should be a plug screwed in next to it on both sides. Mine came without it from the dealer.

Performing that very surgery this weekend. I understand it is pretty easy...

Robert, rip out the Cali emissions crap while you're at it. Takes a few minutes and really cleans up the area around the motor. Also prevents vacuum leaks in the future.
