Yeah... just lazy more than anything I think. Its the general attitude to service down here in NZ; not malicous - just C.B.F.
So, I can see why the USA dealer left the plug in the overflow - it's part of a whole network of pipes etc that were still connected to the carbon canister system in the rear fender... I thought (had been told) this was de-smoged (ECU adjusted and reed valve thingy taken off) - but I guess they only did part of the job.
I ripped out all that stuff yesterday and put a tank cap valve on instead... Job done.
Starts a whole *****-load easier now too... Why was all that crap ever a good idea?! :unsure: Without getting too political, that seems like a ridiculous emissions law...
