Author Message   Jasonb Posted on Wednesday, July 18, 2012 - 01:05 pm:        So I was installing new plugs and wire last night. I was also going to do a TPS reset too. When i was reassembling everything, I noticed a fitting that I didn't see before. Can someone tell me what it is? Here is a pic...   Froggy Posted on Wednesday, July 18, 2012 - 01:13 pm:        Inlet port for your carbon emissions canister. Install a carbon canister or cap the port.   Jasonb Posted on Wednesday, July 18, 2012 - 02:12 pm:        Huh. It's been like that since I bought it. Is it just emissions? Or are there performance compromises? Thanks Froggy   Djohnk Posted on Wednesday, July 18, 2012 - 02:14 pm:        I put a dab of J-B weld on mine -- those little plugs kept coming off.

Depending on where your bike was originally sold, may have the canister to capture fumes from the fuel vent hose rather than letting them vent to atmosphere. There is no performance hit for having it equipped, in fact if you have it equipped you won't smell any gas fumes on hot days. quote: I put a dab of J-B weld on mine -- those little plugs kept coming off.
