That type of thing is why I went for the 2015 instead of a 16+. I said 6 speed would be cool yes, but the 2015 is latest model of the transmission they used for what..15years straight? I figured anything on that trans that needed sorting would have been well sorted in 15 years.

or if there WAS a problem, it would show up in less than 4 years

Over the 110,000 miles I had my 09 the valves were adjusted 2 times and they were checked as recommended.

I checked the valves on my 17 and they were in spec at 20k miles. I did it early because it was springtime and I didn't want to do it in the middle of riding season. During the valve check on the 17 I removed the PAIR, put on the block off plates and it generated an error code. I reinstalled the PAIR, the error code remained so I took it to the dealer where the error code was cleared for free. I sold the block off plates.

I will continue to check the valves every 26k miles or so.

Does anyone know if the Gen 2 bike would trigger a check engine light if the PAIR solenoid is removed?

The CEL is triggered only on 2016-up. If the solenoid is removed, the ECU knows it. All the plumbing can be removed, but leave the solenoid there..... or, install a resistor of appropriate value would likely fix that little issue, but the solenoid doesn't take up much space (the hoses do).

I plan to remove the air injection system on my gen2. I watched a video saying to plug 5 hoses, however it showed 6. 4 from reed valves, 1 to air box. Where does the other one go. Looks to be to left front of bike.

It goes nowhere, has a metal plug in the hose and a clamp. Cut that hose off and slip it on to the air box complete with metal plug.

The simple answer is

No, it does not.

Based upon my many years on FJR forums, I'd say that yes, you are a rare one.

I guess it depends how you define rare, but I am going to have to disagree. Over the years I have had to re-shim out of spec valve clearances many times. Approximately 30%.
