Inlet manifold balance pipe?

04-09-2005, 06:11 PM

A little help please. Basically, do UK spec. 900ie have a balance pipe connecting the inlet manifolds?
I have an american spec 900sie which has a Californian, carbon filled emiisions canister to "collect the fumes" from the inlet manifold and Petrol tank when you switch off!! Has anyone removed one of these before?..
Thought not.. It links into a pair of rubber hoses each going to one of the inlet manifolds. When i junk the cannister (to make way for high level exhaust routeing) should I connect up the two hoses so there is a balance pipe between the inlet manifolds, or just ditch these and blank off the nipples on the inlet manifolds?
