696 Charcoal canister removal

[DucatiTorrey]

ok my question is hich tubes. i used m6 screws on the throttle bodies. the onlly tube left is the thick one. in the picture, the lowest tube, that points directly to the ground, is that the fuel overflow?

i seem to be confused, since there were only three tubes attached to the canister

one is still attached to the canister, after removal
one goes to the throttle bodies (gone)
the other is the largest, which is for fumes, right? why do i need to splice this one, and to what?

two tubes come from the fuel filler on the tank. one is for fumes and one is for overflow. you splice them together just at the front of the tank and then the long overflow that goes under the motor is the only hose left.

perfect, thanks Raux, now where do i find that hose. I kno the fumes one, just need to locate the overflow. i thought i new where it was (at the tank, right next to the fumes hose) but i guess not.

any help?

you guys are a huge help

take the tank panels off. you'll see everything more clearly.

will do! Thanks.

so after removing the panels, i see tow hoses. This whole thing is making me seem pretty dumb...

so hose "A" is the Fume hose, that one went to the canister.
Is Hose "B" the Overflow???
and if those are the correct hoses, is it smart to connect them here

that would make the connection hidden behind the body panel. Will it fit?

thanks guys, just want to do a quality job here.

Answer 1: Yep
Answer 2: Yep (take a look at the Euro spec parts manual and you'll see it)
Answer 3: Yep
you're right on track.  just make sure you KEEP hose B . ie attach hose A to B and let hose be stay where it is going below the bike. Hose A is too short.

- it's pretty-much a safe bet that no fuel tank is ever going to collapse from the fuel being consumed-(the flow will simply stop long before that could ever happen eh?)

  Never tried on any bike, but i can guarantee you it can happen on a car.

  i once had a Plymouth suck a rather large dent in the bottom of the tank.

Can happen on a bike.  Has happened on injected Monsters w/steel tanks.  Don't know about a plastic tank, but anything's possible.

That could solve the plastic tank expansion issue

Funny!

Lots of SS bikes too.

What's the story with passing inspection in the U.S. after doing this? I live in New Jersey; can anyone that's done this and gotten the bike inspected chime in?

[Howie]

No problem at this moment, plus the canister is only required by states that follow C.A.R.B. standards.  The future?  Who knows?
