Charcoal canister removal

[bmwbadboy]

Has anyone yet removed the canister / blocked off the hoses?

This is a new one on me - whats it for?

It's for emissions, but a rack bike doesn't need it.
BBB are you asking if anyone has a kit to remove/block off? Or just to know if its worth it? (I doubt it beyond weight saving).

I doubt you need a kit. From I was told, you just need to block off one hose from the pump and let the other 2 that attach to canister loose.

But just want to double check that.

Removed it today, 5 mins job.

For reference

4 nicely goes into 12
5 gets blocked off

There is a zip-tie clip on frame that can be used to zip-tie all the wires that were attached to 2.
