Hello everyone, I have 1199s Panigale and was wondering is the charcoal canister removal any Benefit to my bike,thanks naughtyboy
Yes... the charcoal canister has long been associated with hard starting issues. Removal of the canister may serve to eliminate any such problems.
Thankyou Khmer, I will have a go at that this weekend.would you know what size connections I would need and the size of the pipe required please,

Hello Clint ,to be honest I didn’t get round to it yet,the only reason being even though it may turn over a couple of times before it starts it’s really not a problem.it was only looking on YouTube that the vids I see where saying it is totally useless.I am going to take it of soon so I will let you if there is any difference,To be honest Clint if it improved the bikes running performance I would have done it already but the bike runs fine.Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful mate ,are you thinking of doing it.
Hi, i was thinking about it but i was unsure of the benefits. My bike also starts after a couple of turn overs. It was more out of interest that i wondered what you had found. I will let you know if i try it in the future. Cheers
Yes - all of the Panigale series do and assume the rest of the modern bikes. Edit - correction - Euro Spec 959’s have it - as do US spec bikes for California emissions regs. As mentioned below it seems Euro Spec 1299 doesn’t - sorry for the false info. Most stock bikes run perfectly fine with them. It’s a common mod to reduce weight as part of a track conversion but if you aren’t having starting issues and don’t feel a burning need to mod for the sake of it then I wouldn’t bother.
Really? My bad then - Wonder if it’s only the smaller bikes that get them in the EU? Both my 959’s had them and when I was reading about removing it I saw lots of stuff On the bigger bikes - which I guess must have been US spec. Thank’s for the correction.
