brought it in from Colorado, The one thing that might give you trouble is not the can but the emissions sticker. The sticker is up on the left fork leg or head tube i believe. It took the dmv lady about ten minutes to find it. You might want to check your bike for that if you plan on registering it in California. I dont believe any other state will even care about it.
I'll be going to either Florida or New Mexico. I don't think either state cares about emmisions. The biggest thing I'm worried about is getting a title. In the UK you only get a "V5".
Is this dead spot thing a common issue after the canister removal? Could it just be a vacuum problem somewhere?
I haven't done the mod yet. Just noticed that a few people had a dead spot in the throttle feel at 3k-3500 RPMs. As if there was some vacuum issue. Wondering if it was INDEED related to the electronic plug now not getting any info? That thing has to receive info and send it somewhere for some reason. Right?
I did plug the Vaccum line, and pulled it up away from the engine heat. I'll take another look at it.
This is getting a bit frustrating. Having been off the bike for a few weeks (thank you bulging disk), I rode into work today after letting the bike idle for a bit with no improvement. It's annoying to blip the throttle and watch it hang for about 5-6 seconds before coming down slowly, as opposed to the quick return from before. I suppose the next step are recheck the line going to the throttle body. As regards the check engine light, I might try shorting the wires together that went to the now absent sensor and see if that resolve it. Is that sound?
Yes, I believe we are talking about the same thing. The electrical connector had a line/hose going to the throttle body, correct? That is what I capped.
I aim to confirm this soon, when I did all this I injured my back and have been benched from the bike for the past couple and a half weeks.
Just for information I pulled the can off with absolutely no change. Just tuck the electrical plug into the harness and buy a vacuum cap set from your local auto parts store to cap it AT THE THROTTLE BODY. I did do a re-learn by doing a cold start and just letting it sit for 10 minutes running. I do have an occasional lean miss in the 3k range on light cruise. It was there before and after. Absolutely no change to the bike. In my book less parts is the better way to go though.
Just curious. I am running just the PCV, with EVAP intact still. Recently had the hanging idle issue that some have spoke of, but mine would not idle down.....
I have went down to dynojet here in Vegas and talked to them not too long after getting the TR. He said asked me about a hanging throttle issue they were having on some of the TRs they were doing. This was almost a year ago though, you might give them a call and see if they worked this issue out. I think they will send you a program over email. The phone number is (702) 399-1423. I can assure you that the hanging idle issue wouldn't have anything to do with a good working can. I could see if it was saturated with fuel or if you have a vacuum leak relating to it then I would look at it. I removed mine just for the sake of getting rid of it.
Removed the canister today and the bike seems for run great. I did notise that it idles at about 1700 rpm now during warm up. I also got an inline filter for the tank vent and used the rubber mount from the old solenoid.
