Carbon canister and acoustic valve removal.

[nikstar]

Just checking this if someone can answer,

Carbon canister, The pipe that goes up to top of rockerbox should it be blanked off? also the pipe that goes back to fuel tank is that just a vent for fuel tank?

Acoustic valve, the pipe that goes up to inlet manifold does that need blanked off?

Cheers

Yes the pipe going to the inlet needs to be blanked off, I put a screw in secured with silicon, worked very well.

no idea about the carbon canister pipes though, but would be nice to know because I'm going to take mine off next week

For the carbon canister, The pipe that runs back to the fuel tank, I cut that back and made sure it wasn't venting any fuel vapour near anything hot, and blocked the pipe that runs to the breather plate off. Beware though as removing the canister puts your EML light on.

What do you gain by removing these?

Weight saving?

 

[Jonff]

Nothing lol. I got rid of mine because it was noisy. People generally remove them so they don't get in the way when fitting brake ducts IIRC.

Removed mine for brake cooling. and i re-positioned the horn.
