  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Smog cannister removal

My 2014 TE 449 has a smog cannister as required here in Calif. Besides making the bike a little lighter, is there a performance value in removing it. I have a four year extended warranty that I would like to keep and just wondering if removing the canister would void it out. What is required to remove the cannister: plugs/block off kit????
 
Pretty sure it would void your warranty, but I can't say for sure. As for removal, there isn't much to it. Take it off, vac plug the hole on the engine, pull out the hose that runs down under the skid plate, and reroute the gas overflow down the back right side of the bike. You can run down by the rear shock and zip tie it to to frame. Just make sure it's not near the header pipe. It's long enough to reach passed the linkage. Some gas may spill out of it when tanks are full.
 
I have the te 310 , full power removed all the smog crap and have had a couple warranty things done since with no problem , might depend on the dealer also.
