non-california tank on ca bike
Posted: Mon Jan 21, 2008 5:40 pm
Since I have a CA and a 49 state bike, I think the tank swap
looks pretty easy. I can look at my right coast bike easily
enough, but the CA bike is in.... well, CA.
I think all you need to do is simply not connect the part
that goes to the evap cannister behind the seat. That's
the only real difference between the bikes.
You could also remove that assembly entirely - many other
CA KLR riders have done it.
