2012 Kawasaki ninja 1000 abs two brothers exhaust butterfly

Hi,
Here's my question: 2012 Kawasaki ninja 1000 abs Two Brothers exhaust slip-on pipe has no bracket for the butterfly valve.

First a little info, on the Two Brothers site I see the part number for this bike is 005-2720407DV-B and the units I have are the 005-2720407[D]V. It's the black carbon fiber set and on the box and instructions it says it's for the Z1000 and ninja 1000 both 2011 models.

*Edit, correction; the part # according to the instructions are only missing the B, which is for black and they are the black so there is no difference in the part numbers.

I do have the 2012 but I don't think there's a difference there, yes, no? It shows to disconnect the cables under the seat but not how to deal with it on the new pipe. Is there something I can do here or do I need to contact Two Brothers Monday for a different pipe?

Here's an image of what's missing.
 

It appears as if the Two Bros slip-ons do away with the butterfly valve entirely...correct? If so, then you shouldn't have to worry about the mounting for the cables?  

The ECU will look for the butterfly valve and throw a code. I know there are ways to fool the computer but I want to make sure that TB intended to do it that way. There is a difference in the part numbers i.e. 005-2720407DV-B and  005-2720407V as posted.  

Actually I think you're correct, thanks.  

There should be something in the instructions for the Two Bros exhaust that deals with the removal of the exhaust valve. Some companies use a piece that bolts in place of the cable barrel on the exhaust valve motor, others have you jumper or splice wires. As you say though, the ECU will be able to tell that something is up with the exhaust valve, so there needs to be some sort of solution there.  

We'll see. I got them on now to go for a ride. I'll post back on the outcome, thanks.
 

Yes kento1 I was disappointed that the instructions leave you hanging after they tell you to disconnect the cables under the seat. But I happened to get some advice from a mechanic who said he does it all the time for his customers.

He said that I could just pull all the cables out as I won't be needing them after I replace the the OEM pipe (with the valve on it) with the TB's one, which has no bracket for the valve anyway. And he said that Kawasaki realized that people would be modding their bikes and therefore the the computer, in this case, will not throw a code.

Mind you, I left the cat and stock header on. Had I removed them, I'm sure I wouldn't trust the AF/ratio without a piggyback or the like and a tune. I wanted to drive for a few cycles to back  up the stability of my swap and I can now say that there are no DCT's and no performance irregularities.

I've driven in every mode and everything appears to be normal. Now, how would it look on a dyno? That I don't know. Anyway thanks kento1 for your consideration and incite. Happy riding!  

A little late to the party, but you just remove the cables and leave the solenoid in place. It will only throw a code if you remove or rotate the solenoid. As long as the solenoid is in place the engine has no idea the cables have been removed and that there is no butterfly valve. I have a 2007 Z1000 and have had no issues with removing the cables.  

Good info Black.Sheep, thanks.  

hey im planning on getting one of these bikes soon but i dont like the looks or sound of that exhaust.  i see you can change it with that classy looking tb exhaust.  does it sound any more throaty? and are there kits for replacing from header back exhaust.  thanks. other than that tell me your pros and cons for the bike, mods you would make, and general comments. thanks  

one other thing...im kind of a new rider but does the ABS completely eliminate the problem that comes along with braking in corners? that really freaks me out what with the bike costing 14000 CAD  

My recommendation is to take an MSF-type course in Canada to get a better grasp of basic riding skills, and perhaps choose a bike that better suits your level of riding experience.

If you don't feel comfortable braking in corners, depending on ABS to cover up that deficiency will only get you in more trouble.  

Changing subject a bit, but what the heck, speedyjoe, get a small dual sport and when you can slither and slide it around, then step up to something bigger and faster.
