I have a 2001 M900S i.e. and the previous owner must have removed the carbon canister because I have never seen it.  However, he left the tubing in place that connects each of the intake ducts, then proceeds along the frame towards back of bike, where it then would have connected to the missing canister.  I bought screws to go into the holes where the tubes connect to the intake ducts, but need to put some kind of silicone Huh? on the screws first, to prevent a vacuum leak.  I have a marine/auto 100% silicone tube that says it can withstand up to 400 degrees F.  Is that high enough, being that the intake duct is connected directly to the head?

Another option - that allows easy TB syncing w/o replacing the machine screws with the original tube fittings - is to use silicone caps from www.mcmaster.com to cap the existing fittings.  They fit nice and snug and take the temperatures with no problem.

Except then the friggin' dealer mechanic loses the silicone ones and replaces them with POS plain rubber ones... bang head so buy several waytogo

Mr.Earl, that is one of the alternatives that I was interested in!  Do you have a part number, looks like a huge site with many options.

Mr.Earl, that is one of the alternatives that I was interested in!  Do you have a part number, looks like a huge site with many options.

If you type "silicone tube caps" into the search window on the left side of the page, you'll get a page showing lots of diameters of silicone tube caps, strangely enough.  Mcmaster doesn't let you link to a specific page, or I'd provide that.  The part number to fit 1/4" OD is 92805K14, but see below.

I bought 2 diameters, one of which turned out to be just right, the other a little large.  Trouble is, I don't know now which diameters I bought!  Sorry... Roll Eyes  They're very flexible, so err on the small side.

They come too long, you'll have to trim with scissors for a perfect fit.

I actually just de-cannistered mine today, in the process of installing FCRs.  I took my nipples out and replaced them with stainless steel allen head screws.  I'll keep the nipples in the container with my other carb adjust nipples.

Are you sure?I just removed nipples, put some medium loctite on the screw and installed it.  No problem so far.

Yep.  They spilled brake fluid on the case, too - didn't see it until I rode it home.  I'm doing all my own work from now on.  Bastards.
