On just about every other Kawasaki, blocking the Air Injection or PAIR system is at least 90% effective as you stated. However, on the 1700 it does very little to alleviate decel popping.

Chappy,

Some have found that increasing the idle by 50 or 100 rpm helps reduce decel popping, but if you have yet to do any mods, that is likely not a problem.

As you summized, it is as a result of "the way the pipes are connected". On the Nomad, Voyager and Vaquero, the right side does most of the work. The pipes are still interconnected for...
