What do they do?

they are just some bungs pretty much to cover up some pipes associated with the PAIR valve

supercheap or repco have the bungs, in black rubber (on those racks with the bolts and plastic molding clips), and you can buy the spring clips there too.

I got some for my GSXR to do what im guessing is the same thing, but with a different system.

Got them from my local Supercheap... they're just rubber vacuum plugs. Cost all of $3 if I remember correctly.

yeah same thing mate picture above is from yoshi k3-4 kit. which is same as 600/750/1000

i going a step further and pulling the pair unit out and putting a resistor in to fool ecu to think its there.

What size do you need? Could shoot up to supercheap on the way home and see if they have something suitable?

Looks to be 1-1.5cm?

I got the full setup ready to go at home which cost around $15 and will have bits left over, but im not plugging those particular holes as im replacing the PAIR valve with a T-junction which then goes down to the crank case breather if i remember correctly. Put a little vacuum cup like those ones on the end of the hose from the injectors that usually goes to the PAIR valve and then its done. My tank is a bitch to line up when reassembling stuff so i'm waiting till i put in a K&N before i do the mod.

no worrys mate, i got a repco and supercheap 5 mins from home.

got the hose in the car. so i can check what will fit. i only need two, to go on top of head, since the pair solenoid, don't need to plug those holes

keeping the hose from crackcase to airbox but i got a yoshi oil catch collector to go in there.

is there a car aircon place down here? all they are are vacum plugs. what size are they? you could try places like plastic box, or payless plastics, para rubber, ie use the rubber bungs they have for chair legs etc.

or a farm supplies shop like RD1 will probably have something as well.

yeah i try a got couple other places tonight,

though i just put information in that supercheap doesn't sell the right size ones.

UPDATE
---------

Couldn't find what i was total after, but found something that fitted the bill

picked up these bungs from para rubber, for $0.50c each, the pipe external diamater size is something around 12-13mm, they are hard plastic (eg things like bottom of steel chair legs)

Pretty simple job to do.
1) lift tank up
2) remove air box(1 bolt up front, 4 clamps holding on to throttle bodies, with 2 plugs and 3-4 hoses going in)
3) PAIR valve is a unit up front of frame, it has three hoses coming out of it, two top of cylinder head, one to air box.
4) Pull the plugs that go in to cylinder head(the one in airbox, already remove to get it out)
5) Plug the 1 holes, in the air box with the bung brought earlier.

6) Plug the 2 holes, in the top of cylinder with the bung brought earlier. (1 & 2 in below pic)

You can stop here, or continue if you want to remove the PAIR valve totally, for this you will also need a reistor 18-22 Ohm, 5-10wat ($1 or so from Dick Smiths)

7) Remove the Pair valve (one bolt, and plug going in to it)
8) Put the resistor in the plug where pair was plugged in to. (above pic #3)
9) Turn bike on, make sure Fi light is not showing
10) Put bike back together and go riding.

Pair valve is removed, this will stop your bike backfiring, lose about 2ish kgs of weight, and meant to give 1/2-1ish HP. The pair valve should be blocked before bike is dynoed.
