What size is the evap vent hose?

[NoJive]

Since I've been checking recalls and things, I thought I'd pull the tupperware and check the evap canister. I still have the short hose, so I plan on lenthening it. I'm gonna run to the auto parts store tomorrow, but what size tubing is it? Thanks!

Just did the missus' 08 RS. If I remember right it's 3/8" ID. Bought the hose a O'Reilly in a precut package. Perfect length to run forward and exit from a hole under radiator.

It's 1/4" off the tank to the canister, 1/4" at the purge valve to the canister and 5/16" from the canister out the bottom of the bike.

When I did mine I pulled the canister and the 5/16" line together and lengthened the 1/4" line off the tank.

Bought some 3/8", and ran it down into one of the holes behind the radiator. Not sure if it does limit the fire hazard, but it cant hurt.

Many, including me, have routed the hose all the way to the rear of the bike.

I plead ignorance here.

I have an '08 Spyder GS sold in Canada. I don't remember seeing an evaporative canister when I recently had my panels off.

Where is it please?

Right side of the bike, front of the engine. Follow the overflow line from the gas tank. See Part #21 in the pic here. If you bought it used, it may have been removed. Many folks have taken them out.

So, should it be removed or re-routed? What is the purpose of re-routing the hose. I have never heard about this.
thanks

It is very, very important to have the long hose, but there is more to the modification than the hose. BRP reprograms the ECM to provide more frequent opening of the purge valve. Your dealer will do this for you and install the longer hose - free.

Many have done a canisterectomy which solves the problem with certainty. Search spyderlovers for "canisterectomy".
