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.

Sounds backwards to me. Purge valve stuck open should cause rough idle not gas smell. Now if it was stuck closed the canister will become saturated with vapors and cause the gas smell. In either case new purge valve time!

I don't remember if mine was stuck open or closed but when mine broke they told me it was pouring the fuel into the evap canister. Mine wouldn't idle at all. They did not replace the canister and we all know what happened next.
So Willey if it were me I would ask them to please replace the canister.

Depends on which port is stuck open. It is a matter of terminology.

Mine stuck open and the bike threw a code.
I forget which code it was, running too lean or something like that.

It may dry it out, but vapors will still be more evident, since the activated carbon has become saturated...and thus spent.

It's a simple open or closed valve. I don't see multiple ports. Am I missing something?

Still a matter of terminology. I suspect he meant that it would not open, which left the atmospheric vent open continually. At any rate, it is between the owner and his tech. If he made a mistake, the problem will not be solved. If he is correct, the smell will lessen. We need to wait for the results.

Thanks for the information and explainations of how this system works.They just replaced the canester when they did the recall.Has any one ran lots of miles like 75k or 100k with the canister removed with out any negative problems.I don't think I want to remove the canister at this time but if it continues to be a problem then at that time I will have to rethink it.There might not be another time because we are considering a 14.The only reason we would trade is the 200+miles between fillups.We like this 13 a lot.Just have to wait and see what the dealer will do on a trade.I will keep you posted on the results.

Flashed a P1175 code and the reason I checked for a code was that the motor would not turn over after a short ride without a jump start, this has happened twice and now we are in the shop (second time for a P1175) to replace the "purge valve canister solenoid" and to find and fix an oil leak. It's warranty and cold outside so no ryding in the near future but the trailer has become very useful.
