I'm about to install my Annitori QS and was wondering where the best point of approach is, left or right side of the radiator? Hopefully anyone who has installed a top coil based QS can chime in on the best route of action.
I approached from the top. Pulled the tank, airbox and plenum so I had plenty of room to get at everything. Some of the connectors can be a pain to get to lay down and you can route the wiring much easier and cleaner.
Thanks for the feedback man, but believe me it's not that I'm lazy to work on it. It's just that I managed to do everything perfectly from the side on my 600RR and that is when Annitori had a problem with the coil plugs, i.e. the loom connectors had to be pushed so hard into the top coils for them to be seated well as there were some dimensional discrepancies. So now that they have fixed this issue, it should be a breeze. With the RR though it was much easier from the left as the that is where the top radiator bolt was situated and unbolting it gave you all the space you needed. Try it from the right and you're just torturing yourself.
No haven't bought them even, but I do have a PCV. Thing is, the exhaust is still stock, so I don't have a map for it. I've been looking into a way to install the PCV but have it deactivated.
It's going to be tough getting in there since the AIS is on top of the coils. So back to removing the tank, the airbox, the plenum and then having full access. You can do the block offs while you're in there.
On eBay you can buy no name block off plates with a cap for the airbox for 18$. Don't waste your money on graves or driven, nobody will ever see them..
Whilst I agree with you in theory just be cautious, some are soft thin alloy that may flex slightly causing a slight leak whilst others are on par with the name brands.

That right there is why I don't like buying generic Chinese stuff when it comes to anything remotely close to the engine. Plastics? Yeah sure, maybe, but anything that requires meticulous machining or production, no thank you.
