• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Greetings from Washougal, WA!

I'm gearing up to pull the tupperware for an oil change and also tackle a couple of mods while i'm in there. For the canister-ectomy, I'm working from the instructions found here.

Does anyone who has performed this recall the diameter info for coupler and additional length of hose I'll need to extend hose #24?

I want to make sure I pick up the proper supplies and it would be nice to have the right stuff on hand before I begin.

Thanks in advance!

I just removed the hose that goes from the canister and down through the bottom om the spyder and didn't have to buy any additional hose. I just bought 2 clear fuel filters and used one to join the tank vent and hose together, and another filter at the open end of the hose. The drain hose I removed is long enough for you to feed it down the side of the airbox and vent it next to headlight above right front wheel. Best thing I ever did removing the canister... doesn't smell like a gas station now!

For the 2010 RT SM5 your part# is 26 (same as 24 in diagram) and it is a 6.4 mm (1/4) hose.
