truthiness Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Quick question - looking for confirmation of my guess. I purchased my FZ in California but no longer live there, and have no plans of returning. Am I correct in believing that I can remove the evap canister once the bike is registered in another state, or is this a legal grey area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member fz07fanboy Posted July 4, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 4, 2015 If the state that you moved in doesn't conduct smog testing on motorcycles, I'm sure its ok to remove but why? There isn't anything gained by doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truthiness Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 I was under the impression that it is a restriction in the intake circuit. It probably weighs a pound or two, also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member fz07fanboy Posted July 4, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 4, 2015 No its not a restriction. Its an emission capturing device. Basically the charcoal canister just recaptures fuel vapors from the tank and reuses them when drawn back into the intake manifold. Thats it.

fooschnickens Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 You'd be shedding a couple pounds of plastic and tubing at most, I'd just leave it be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member fz07fanboy Posted July 7, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 7, 2015 Couple of pounds? Even that is a very far stretch. That canister weighs less than a pound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fooschnickens Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Hence the "at most". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
