Get Rid of Your Emmisions Canister! Now with Pics!

Great job.

So a silly question from a 2007 S4R T owner.....mmmm... Aussie model.  When I have my Termignoni Full system installed in the next couple of weeks, should I have the emissions stuff removed? That is, if I have it? mmmm..

For future reference, you can leave the nipples in place. Just put vacuum caps on them. This way, when you want to sync your throttle bodies, you pull the caps off and hook up your manometer...

if you didn't already, i would recommend sealing the bolts in place with some high temp silicone (RV silicone works great)
otherwise you risk air getting around the bolt, or the bolt working itself free, either of which could lead to a lean running condition

I bought some silicone sealant. Should I loosen the bolts drop some in and tighten back up, or just add some of the goo around the outside of it. Sorry that i have no freakin clue!!!!

Do what I posted. Put the nipples back on and get some vacuum caps from the auto parts store...

  One note about the vacuum caps.
Use the smallest ones you can force onto the nipple. If you have a "hiccup" or backfire they'll shoot right off. I keep spares in my jacket pocket, just in case. Learned that one the hard way i did.

Yup, the ones I have a nice and snug. Never popped off and just crested 4k miles..

The bracket that holds the charcoal canister is mounted behind the footpeg bracket.  Do you have to shim the bracket out once you remover the canister and bracket?  No one has ever mentioned this so I'm curious.

Thanks,

On the DSS, I think you will have to...

Medium locktite works well too!

This is what I actually bought yesterday - got the RED one. I'll put it on tonight. It seems that it will seal it and I'll still have a clean look....

The beauty of it all is that on the DSS bikes, you can pull all those stupid rearset spacers out and actually have a symmetrical bike!  There's one behind each rearset mount, and you'll have to flip the lower engine mount ones to the outside to get the bolt back in.  Otherwise it will bottom out.

Most peeps get rid of it. First thing i asked my salesman is 'what the hell is that?' The first page of this thread has the after pics. If you have a S2R just look at it and you'll see the before pics. Go ahead and do it - You Can Do It!

I just completed this mod (and capped the nipples), but as I looked at the factory configuration it seems to me that the original "T" fitting could be serving as an air balancer between the two intakes.  If so, we should probably be connecting the two nipples directly to each other with some of the reclaimed hose, in order to maintain this balance.  Does this make sense?
