What is the deal with all the pressure when i remove the gas cap? Also I can here that little one way valve behind the right Radiator "farting" into the Fugly Charcoal can on the right lower frame. I want to remove the ugly looking thing before it gets Knocked off. I heard you can .....but gas can siphon out that vent hose on upper left of the tank . Does the tank vent any other way ? How many of you guys have pulled the charcoal can off your TE / SMS 630.?
Pulled mine as soon as I got it home, and connected the hose coming from the tank to the hose under the frame with a double-male nipple. Some people remove the one way valve in really hot areas to keep the tank pressure down, but I've never had a problem. Once it breaks in a bit it won't "fart" quite as noticeably, but it will still vent and keep fuel from escaping. That is the only tank vent on the 630. Some tanks have another nipple further down the left side that is just a drain from the gas-cap area to remove rain water or tank overflow.
The gas cap is not vented, and I capped off the vacuum nipple with a vacuum cap. They come in assorted packs at AutoZone.
Gotta remove the canister, And the sound of the 630 belching after a meal of sweet single track isn't something to begrudge the beast.
