- Welcome back to our channel, thank you for your support by leaving a thumbs up and subscribing to our channel. In this video we are removing the charcoal cannister evap system from my 2021 Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 motorcycle. This emissions system is designed to salvage any fuel vapours from escaping to the atmosphere and instead route them to the intake manifolds and then consume them during the normal combustion cycle. As you will see from this video the charcoal cannister on my bike was flooded with gasoline which renders the system ineffective. I was never advised by my dealer to not fill my motorcycle to the top, if you routinely fill your tank to the top your charcoal cannister will most likely be useless as well. I have also heard of people having issues with their bikes running poorly when this system malfunctions due to vacuum leaks. In my opinion it's better to just remove it.
Thanks again for watching liking and subscribing!!

I can see that you’ve done a really pro job. I loved the way you set the pieces out, nice and organised! I ride a 2021 Interceptor in Australia…
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks for this tutorial. I'm midway through the removal, and this video made it much easier than trying to figure it out on my own. I'm going to replace the factory battery with a much smaller and lighter Lithium Shorai item. Love seeing beautiful BC in the background. Lived on the coast for 30 years, but now in Central Hudson area, NY. Lots of beautiful county roads to cruise. Keep doing what you guys are doing. Many thans,
Thanks so much for the kind words!! BC is Beautiful, NY would be awesome perfect roads for putting around on an Enfield!!
Excellent instructive video!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Impressive video.. Even more is the shine on the engine covers and throttle body..
Thank You so much!! And Thanks for watching!!
Thanks from Norfolk, England
Thanks for watching and being a part of our channel!! Can't wait to go to the UK one day!
Good day! I really love the videos from the air injection delete and to this tutorial. can you make a video where you reposition our bike’s rectifier to a better position? i love how the vintage japanese bikes placed them between the front forks. i ride a 650 RE and an 80s CB750 Custom Excl. greetings from the Ph 🇵🇭
Great suggestion! I'll see what I can do, Thanks for watching!
A small insight : instead of putting the valve back, one can just put a 1k resisitor in its place for a cleaner delete. i have just used a resistor direactly installed on that coupler and taped it. works like a charm and keeps my ocd intact. also keeps that check light away. great content btw
Thanks for the comments and thanks for being a part of our channel. I was thinking of doing that but wanted to put the resister in a blank plug housing to keep it tidy. Did you just jump the terminals with a resister?
yes brother i exactly did that and its been more than 5-6 months its going great no issues so far. just put enough insulation tape around the plug.

Thanks again for another wonderful video. I'm not sure yet if I am going to remove my canister, will sleep on it. I did want to make a comment on another topic though. I have the same chrome and black tank that you do. A few months ago I came across a short seat cowl for sale, that is a match for these tanks, chrome and black with the stripe. Thinking that it would look nice on my bike I ordered one from India. The cost was around $150 CDN. To make a long story short it did not fit, not even close. The mounting brackets did not line up with the bolt holes in the seat, they were off by several inches. I tried to get a refund from the company but they did not return my e-mails. I then contacted E-bay and they refunded my money the next day. So if you see one of these cowls for sale - beware.
Cheers, Don
Thanks for the tip Don!! I've seen those cowls and they look good, too bad they don't fit.Thanks also for watching and being a part of our channel.
was that the short kit from MK Designs?
I did this on my interceptor, I just removed the sprocket cover, and side panel, didn't need to do anything else. Battery stayed in and everything. Easy peasy
That's great! Thanks for watching!
Why have they made the battery such a brstd to get at 🤬
Love the video! Just a quick question, do I NEED a center stand to achieve this or can I just use the kickstand like normal
Thanks!
No you can do this mod just with the side stand, the centre stand just makes it a bit easier to go from side to side. Thanks for watching and being a part of our channel.
I had the regulator/rectifier replaced under warranty and several months later noticed the purge canister was missing. The garage accepted that they had failed to replace it and fitted a new one. During the time it was missing my Interceptor ran OK with no engine fault and I didn't notice any change in performance. So maybe you can just remove the canister.
You can just remove the canister but if you do that you will have a vacuum leak unless you plug the lines leading to the intake manifolds. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
Once again great content!! Thank you!!
Re: previous video. Just to let you know, Yes Cyprus is great nice rides but what I am finding now it's summer that my interceptor is giving off a lot of heat and that is highway riding not city bumper to bumper. Our summer temperatures rage from 35 to around 45 at the height of summer. Do you have any suggestions of how to lower the temperature of the engine? I have stock silencers still also. Thanks a lot sorry for rambling on. Ride safe!
Thank You for the kind comments!! One thing that you could do is put on after market exhaust and replace the airbox intake to allow the engine to breath freely, the stock exhaust is somewhat restrictive resultiing in more heat generated, allowing the engine to breath should reduced the operating temperatures. I'm not sure how noticable it would be though.
@losttogether4ever Thanks a lot for the info was thinking about adding different silencers, as far as the air filter is concerned I already fitted a dna air filter. I will try the pipes and see. Thanks a lot 🙏 🙂
wire the perg valve plug to send the right signal, it if open is the right signal you dont need to do anything, a volt meter can tell you what to do. 😊
Thanks for watching and being a part of our channel, I think the signal may change depending on what the ECU decides is the right time to open or close the purge valve, so I'm not quite sure what you mean.
Cool vid. Did you notice your bike starting or running more smoothly with this stuff deleted??
It may be psychological but I think it does run smoother, probably because my evap cannister was soaked in gas so therefore useless. It may have been trying to purge liquid gas into the intake system instead of fumes as it was designed. (I'd wager that almost all of the Enfields out there have fuel soaked canisters, just by owners trying to squeeze a bit of extra range by topping up the tank.) Just my thoughts.
Can you please share what is the weight of this canister? How much weight reduction
thanks for making this video. question. i too think i may have filled my tank too much. sometimes after a fill, the bikes performance is off. when in first, second, third it seems to sputter or lose power when im accelerating - or trying too. im wondering now if this is my problem. would this symptom be related to the evap/canister system? if so, im going to do what you did.
Thanks for watching and being a part of our channel. In thinking about it if your cannister was saturated with fuel the purge valve could be opening as it should and then your engine could be sucking raw fuel into the intakes instead of just vapour. This would potentially make your engine run rough as it would throw off the fuel air mixture that the ECU is trying to feed the engine. I think the only way to prove it one way or the other would be to take the cannister off and then shake it, if it's not full of fuel you should be able to hear the charcoal moving around, if it's saturated with fuel as mine was you will be able to shake gas out of the end of it proving that the cannister is not functioning. Unfortunately it's a bit of work to do if your cannister is funtioning properly, but I think it might be the only way to show one way or the other. Hope this makes sense.
Hi sir, nice video btw! I’m from Brazil
I’m just thinking, I can just pop out the pipes from the intake as you do in, and then puts the silicone rubber caps. The full system will continue on the bike as dead weight, but it will be much more easy to revert to original state. An I correct?
Yes, that's true you could just remove the lines and then place silicone caps on the nipples, you should also disconnect the line that goes from the tank to the charcoal cannister otherwise it might overfill with fuel I think.
@@losttogether4ever That’s true, I’ll do that as well. Thanks for the advice! Have a nice rides!
Thanks For This Tutorial… Is That Unstable RPM Common In The Idle… I Have A Inty 650 And After Setting The Tappets The RPM Is Little Bit Unstable.Is It Fine? Any Suggestions From Your Side
I would check for a vacuum leak, or an exhaust leak. You may have accidentally swapped a tank vent for an evap line or like me I had one header pipe not sealed against the head causing me grief for a few months as I changed out sensors to try and track down my issue. The idle should be smooth if everything is tightly sealed. Let us know how it goes!
I have to mucha cuestión😂?
Can you fell more power?
Do you have any problem with ECU ?
Good Job !
Thanks for watching and commenting, no I can't feel any difference in power and no issues from the ECU, everything runs as normal.
Hello 😊 where did you buy the evap delete kit from? I found a place they said they would not ship to USA because it is not in line with the law
I didn't actually buy a kit, I just bought the silicone rubber caps that go over the intake ports. You don't need a kit if you follow my video it's super easy and cheap!!
Hi, may I know if there are any other advantages than getting some air exposure to RR unit?
By eliminating the Evap system you eliminate any future problems that might come up due to fuel saturation of the charcoal cannister. I've read about bikes not running right because of gasoline flooded cannisters.
I noticed near the end of the video - after you put everything back together and started the bike - that your left switch hub (high beam, low beam, horn, and turn signal controls) has a hazard/flasher switch as well, to the right of your headlight switch. This feature isn't on my '21 Continental GT 650 (Euro 4) in the United States - no HAZARD switch that is. Was this stock on your bike, or a modified switch housing and wiring project?
Hey Chris, that's an aftermarket switch that I modified I made a video of it here--czcams.com/video/W4zuBKHQkOA/video.html it's a prettty easy project once you assemble all the bits. Thanks again for watching.
@@losttogether4ever fantastic! Thank you!
Where did you get that way cool windshield?
That's a C-racer fairing, here's a link to our video--czcams.com/video/C548J1jb1Is/video.html Thanks for watching!
What did you do with the two vacuum ports on the gas tank?
Thanks for watching and participating in our channel. The 2 lines are not vacuum lines 1 is a drain line from the tank rim and the other is the line leading to the evap cannister. I kept them both and routed them just in front of the swingarm. This way if there's any overfill from the tank that needs to drain it will just spill on the ground and not onto the hot engine. I think I explained this in the video.
you cut your hair, your hair looked cool man
Ha Ha!! Yes it took me a full year to grow it, I had to have short hair for 30 years for my career in Law enforcement, once I retired I thought I'd let it grow but then I missed my short hair. I might do it again though!!
@@losttogether4ever you should you looked cooler and younger man
@@robbiesloan3992yeah, don't be such a square man. 😁
Is your canoe a wood canvas old town otca?
Sharp eye, no it's actually a 1912 BN Morris that I restored a long time ago, it's a beautiful canoe, shame it doesn't get as much use as it should.
how is the bike running? do u got any check engine light?
The bike is running great better than ever!! No check engine light, no issues at all. Thanks for watching and being a part of our channel.
@@losttogether4ever does this mod made you bike better in terms of mileage, power...?
PITA but you did it
Yes I did, it wasn't too bad!! Thanks for watching!!
OMG. Its like a prostatectomy.
Why yes it is, sort of going in the back door LOL!!
This is crazy that we are buying bikes that have all these bits added because of legislation, just for us to take them all off. I came across the abs under the tank and that might be going in the bin.
Not sure if removing the ABS is a good idea, it's one of the few safety features that I think can really save you. I know if I had it on my old Guzzi I would have been upright instead of laying on my side as I came down a wet hill with a stop sign at the very bottom. Oooooopsey !! down we went!!
Not a good idea
If this is sarcasm then its all good man... but if you are seriously saying that you need help...
