Can anyone give me a quick run down on what to plug and re-route to get rid of my emissions canister. I live in indiana and I have never liked the way it looks! I can figure it out but I know some of you guys come up with some pretty great ideas.thanks | ||

all mine has is a line that goes from the gas tank to behind my left peg. Bought it that way brand new in Iowa. | ||

Are you talking about the "California Canister"? | ||

There are 2 lines coming from the can, one is from the gas vent and the other is to the throttle body. I don't recall if the gas line is long enough, but if its not just get some more hose and run the line from the fuel tank vent by the gas cap, up over the inner airbox cover, and down to the left footpeg. You will need to plug up the hole on the throttle body tool. | ||

The follow up to this is, you guys who don't have a can, is there any gas leakage? | ||
| Juniorkirk |
yes, if you fill her up too much, it will drip out of the hose, and i've noticed it when i hit some bumps at slow speeds and it shakes my gas up it will spit some out too. Filled her up a little too much one time and when i turned her on i was sitting at the pump for a few seconds while i reset my tripometer i realized that my exhaust felt cold.....looked down and where the gas was dripping out it drips right in front of the exhaust and it was getting sprayed all over my lower leg.....just keep that in mind, might want to route it to the right side if you have your exhaust outlet on the left | ||

Thanks guys. I just hope it doesnt smell up my garage after a ride when the tank if letting off fumes. | ||

you need to put a nipple/cover on the throttle body hole to prevent a vacuum leak. Our no Cali bike have a rubber cover on the hole on the TB. | ||

My fuel vent hose was previously rubbing against the swing arm and wore a bit of paint off. I fixed that easily enough, but I hate the discoloration that happens on the swingarm and pipe from the fuel spillage. Has anyone ever put a small catch can on that? would it need to be vented I assume? | ||
| Froggy |
Wouldn't extending the hose to go lower to the ground be the best solution for you? | ||
| Juniorkirk |
It would be a good solution, but then it would look just weird having that hose dangling down almost touching the ground. A catch can idea would be neat to see. The only time i really have a problem with it dripping a lot is when i fill her up at the pump too much. I just let it all drip out before i start the bike. On mine, it goes straight to the ground, so it never touches anything else on my bike. | ||

I never have anything drip when I am stopped, must come out while I'm riding. I may just have to figure out a can solution! |
