For the C50 Boulevard

NOTE** Removal of the pair system on the C50 Boulevard is exactly the same procedure as its older cousin, the Volusia 800, with the exception of the electronic actuating solenoid that is used on the C50. This page will show you the solenoid, and what to do with it, (borrowed from my C90 pages) but please refer to the Volusia instruction pages for now (until I get new photos) for full removal details.

 

Photo showing the new solenoid activated pair valve. This photo is of a C90 pair system, which resides in a larger box on the right side of the engine. The C50 has a slightly different version sitting in a small "pillbox" on the left side of the engine. The valve is virtually the same, but hose attachments are behind it instead of below it.

Remove the two gold colored Phillips head solenoid mounting screws, then pull the solenoid and its wire pigtail free from the valve body and box, feeding the wire through from the back of the case as you pull .

After removing the pair valve and its box, Reconnect the solenoid to the bike's harness connector, and use the two supplied plastic zip ties to secure it up out of site, under the tank. This can be done by looping the zip ties over the main wiring harness and through the solenoid screw holes, then cinch them up to the main harness or to the bike's framework.. You may find it easier and more secure to relocate the solenoid behind the right side neck cover (with the ignition switch). Thanks to Bob Warren for that tip!
