Good link, thank you. It looks like a much more cereal job than I can handle! Also, looks like that is for a different set-up than I have. It's an older monster he's referring to.

Has anyone used this;

pretty sure thats an overkill.

i checked out how the guys at my local shop did it, and they just remove the whole package and plug the holes left over from where the nipples were coming out of the intake with M5's...
me? i just removed all the crap that hooked up to the emissions canister and connected the one hose that runs out of the horizontal intake to the vertical intake. I think i also re-routed my gas overflow or vapor hose...can't remember which though.
it took all of 10 mins, isn't very hard, goes roughly like this: undo mounting bracket for emissions canister, unhook all hoses going to it, trace all hoses, if the hose uses a T or Y intersection, get rid of the hose going to the emissions canister, connect point A directly to point B. throw emissions can in garbage. then  [moto] like the  .

emissions canister...what a POS.

here you go 
1 - follow hose from emissions cannister to gas tank. disconnect this hose from the emissions cannister and run it down the rear of the engine parallel to the other hose you see running back there from the tank.

2 - follow the other hose from the cannister to a "t-fitting" that splices it into two hoses. follow each of these hoses to a fitting in your intake manifolds. loosen the clamps that secure the hoses to these bleeder fittings and remove the hoses. then unscrew the bleeder fittings from the manifolds.

3 - plug the holes in the intake manifolds the those bleeder fittings left with short M5 bolts. use high-temp locktite to secure them. just "snug" tight. don't over torque 'em.

4 - unbold the cannister bracket and toss that useless P.O.S. in the garbage....

Ok, I'm building some confidence here..... Where can i find a M5 bolt? Standard at Home Depot?

[Flipside725]

yep. the short m5's. if they don't have them, your local hardware store will.

"loosen the clamps that secure the hoses to these bleeder fittings and remove the hoses. then unscrew the bleeder fittings from the manifolds."

I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CLAMPS LOOSE, BUT HOW DO I REMOVE THE THE HOSES FROM THE MANIFOLD. DO THEY JUST PULL OFF??

I'M TRYING TO UNSCREW THEM, BUT IT'S REALLY TOUGH TO REACH IN THERE.....

[herm]

the hoses just pull off. you may need to wiggle them a bit at first.
the nipples are a bit of a pain, but the will unscrew.

dont forget yer gonna need to put those m5 bolts back where the nipples came from. consider investing in a long needle nose plier or vice grip

[JoDuc]

i did the quick fix and cut the hose just outside the manifold and capped the ends. i think this would have worked although it looked pretty crappy, like two extra antenas! i tried again to unscrew from the manifold and it came off much easier with out the extra tubing on there. go figure. put in the m5 bolts and im emissions free. Took me about an hour. beer and self high five for me! thanks guys!

Here's what I got rid of

[JoDuc]

Here are the 2 manifolds i plugged with the M5 bolt. I didn't need any zipties. I just screwed in the bolt with the original washer... Will this work ok?

[JoDuc]

 I did cut about 8 inches of the gas hose and ran it parallel to the other overflow hose. Couldn't tuck it in the same spot, so it hangs out behind the SSS. I suppose it will work....

AND THE FINISHED PRODUCT! Not as hard as thought it would be. Bike is much faster too! Mailing leftovers to Cali for proper burial....



Guess I shoulda taken the before pics for the full effect....

Congrats man.  I need to get off my ass and do the same thing to my 800.

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
