MikeWa Posted July 22, 2014 #1 Posted July 22, 2014 If you are having problems understanding Rivco's instructions for repositioning the AIS valve perhaps this will help. 1. Remove the two screws securing the valve assembly to the bracket on the bike. Note: The valve assembly sits inboard of the bike bracket and the two retaining nuts are inboard on the valve assembly. 2. Disconnect the hoses and remove the valve assembly. 3. Once removed you will see there is a bracket attached by three screws to the valve assembly. Rivco figure 3. Remove these three screws, turn the bracket over and reinstall the three screws. BE CAREFUL to hold the valve assemble together while performing this operation as the same three screws hold the valve together. You will see the two nuts that are used in attaching the assembly to the bike that were on the inside are now on the outside. Another note here. The bracket may not like being rolled over and you may have to help the top, center screw start by bending the bracket a little. When finished your valve assembly will still look like figure 3. Just the two attached nuts will now be on the outboard. 4. Position the valve back on the bike so the two attached nuts are on the outboard of the bike bracket. Attach the screws and hoses. Reposition the clamps as needed. Hope this helps Mike [ATTACH]85838[/ATTACH]
uncledj Posted July 22, 2014 #2 Posted July 22, 2014 Yeah....the instructions were a bit difficult to understand. I got rid of the bracket all-together, rotated the thingy that attaches to the valve 90 degrees, got rid of the pre formed hose and used a piece of reinforced 5/8 hose in it's place. I ended up with plenty of room....way more than I'd have had if I'd followed the instructions, and 500 miles later, have had no problems.
