Originally, I was planning to remove not only the canister but also the pipework and valve. I was also wanting to fit a ScottOiler. However, I ended up leaving most the pipework and valve in place - partly because the dongle plug that is used to fool the ECU that the valve e=was still connected I bought in preparation would not fit, and partly because it made less work.
I taped the central pipe and corresponding outlet on the canister for future reference.
The pipework runs along the LHS of the bike.
The offset pipe (on the canister) terminates at this valve. You have to remove the fuel tank to access this.
The pipe on the other side of the valve is connected to the throttle bodies using a T-piece. This creates the vacuum to recirculate the fumes from the charcoal canister when the valve is opened by the ECU.
The central pipe joins another two pipes with a Y-piece
The pipe at the bottom of the Y-piece is the larger diameter pipe that runs down to below the oil filler. It is blanked with a plug. Rather than remove this pipe and run another from the fuel filler cap, I just removed the plug. This allows any fumes to escape towards the ground. I also plugged the end of the central pipe removed from the charcoal canister to prevent fumes accumulating under the seat.
Since I needed the vacuum feed to operate the ScottOiler and the pipe is has a bigger bore than the fittings supplied, I improvised the connection by using part of the filler kit (the spout)
If you are not fitting a ScottOiler, you can simply plug the other pipe removed from the canister prevent unfiltered air being drawn into the engine.
Remove the canister and you recover that storage space for your tool kit or puncture repair kit - but probably not both.
