One of my static projects has the can too. If I ever get around to rebuilding this one I'll add the can to things I'll see if I can hit at 300-600 yards. I'll fill it with stale gas first.  My memory isn't what it used to be....but I think removing the can envolved routing the hose back to the overflow  vent  tube or just plugging the additional outlet. If you get to it before I do....let me know.  I think they were worried about a few drops of gasoline from the float bowl over flow reaching the ground ..."GOD FORBID".                       "What were we talking about....???"

I doubt it will make any difference in performance.   However, if you remove it save it.   Calif will start doing semi yearly  (every other year) smog checks on  motorcycles in the near future,  like they do on cars now.  There will be a cut off year which if your motorcycle is older than that year it will be exempt.   My guess is you will be safe with a 1990 but you never know. Missing components means automatic failure.  Good luck. Long live the internal combustion engine!    Report

The canister acts as the vent on the cali model instead of the gas cap. if you plug the outlet on the tank for the canister and dont get a vented cap you may end up with some vapor lock. also not sure what capping the port on the carb would do? so like i said i left mine for simplicities sake!    Report

Oh Cototaxi, the idea of the canister isn't to keep gas from leaking from the float bowl... its designed to take the gas vapors from the tank and put them into the carb instead of letting them go into the atmosphere. You know all that global warming garbage. not sure if it really works well or does anything but it makes california feel better about itself... i guess.    Report

The canister weighs less than a pound, has zero affect on performance and (arguably) causes zero service problems. Ditto for removing it. I leave mine intact as it cuts down on the gas fumes in my garage and costs fewer of my limited supply of brain cells when I need to drag the bike into a Mexican hotel room overnight.

Cap the port on the carb, and run a line from the port on the tank down where the other vent hoses are, otherwise it'll vapor lock on you (DAMHIK). Is it worth spending much time fiddling with it? Probably not... trey '07 Suzuki Bandit 1250SA '97 Yamaha TW200    Report

It already costs a fortune to register, and smog it on top of that? Forget it. Plus we'll all have to put the stock cans back on, and put the carb back to stock as well, or it'll never pass. Damn, I want out of this state so bad! Back on-topic : Like others have said, you can remove the canister without harm. It won't affect performance one way or the other. It will, IMO, look better without the thing pointlessly hanging off the bike though. lol 2009 TW :47T Rear Sprocket; Pro-Circuit Exhaust w/silencer; Jimbo C's Cafe Shield; The usual carb mods; LED speedo and indicator lights; Headlight kill switch; DID O-ring Chain; Ricochet Skid Plate; Osram Rallye H4 bulb; Wolo horn w/relay; KLR pegs    Report
