DR650 ADVENTURE BUILD PART 3: CHARCOAL CANNISTER/WEIGHT REMOVAL.

[@PrimetimeNut]

Thanks for the kind words and well wishes to me and my family. You as well. Nice video man.

[@trevorjameson3213]

I have a '21 DR650 that I bought barely used last year, and discovered that all DR650's now have the PAIR valve installed, even when you're not in California. Anyway, I bought a block off kit and removed the entire PAIR valve hardware, and now that I've seen your video, I'm going to remove the Charcoal canister as well. Now, a lot of people have said that the PAIR valve doesn't impede performance, but I can tell you that's not true. I had an '05 DR650 years ago without the PAIR valve and it ran great, but this '21 model ran weak, until I removed the PAIR valve, and now it runs like my old one did, which is just perfect. Starting is much easier too, just bump the starter and it fires, like it should. Plus, the PAIR valve was rattly and noisy when the engine was running, leading some guys on the forums to think their new DR650 had some type of engine noise, but that's not what it is! The PAIR valve makes that rattling noise, and when removed, the bike runs quietly as it should.

[@southerndualsport3827]

Yep! Everything the bogus EPA touches ruins engines. Case in point diesel exhaust fluid, yeah let's take a soot that simply falls to the ground causing NO HARM and make it into a gas that STAYS IN THE AIR POLLUTING THE AIR WE BREATHE.

I am in Canada and they come with all that emissions garbage on them up here too (2021 model). I got rid of all the vapor control system and immediately noticed the difference, the starting is on the first crank now like you said, before it would go 2-3 before it would fire. How did you blank off that pulse port on the head with yours? I just cut and shaped a piece of steel, painted it with muffler paint, installed it with some sealant and used the screws from the pipe I took off. I have no idea if just blocking that port will cause any other problems but so far it hasn't caused any issues that I can see. I was not aware there was a block off kit available or I would have gotten one...

[@southerndualsport3827]

@@helifixer206 mine is a bit older (2007) I didn't have that one unfortunately so I can't say, but I'm sure you can simply block it off. Most emissions systems you are able to do that. (Not that I am advising you to do so haha)

[@rosarioroberto5823]

Greetings Trevor, Would you provide me with the link to purchase the block off kit. Thanks for assisting me 🇺🇸🎉🍾🇺🇸

[@southerndualsport3827]

Sorry no such thing.

[@ericcournoyer1595]

Very usefull. NO ONE talks about that on other vids.

[@southerndualsport3827]

Thank you!

[@Filth003]

Thanks man, installing a new tank right now and this third hose threw me for a loop

[@nicksmith7552]

Thanks for the video, I’ll be following this to take it off my 2022 DR650.

[@MaxwellBenson80]

Once you remove the charchoal filter, you can move the tool kit onto where it was mounted. It's still accessible and isn't hanging out in the open like it originally was.

[@southerndualsport3827]

Great idea!👍🏻

[@coreykellis5745]

Is this the same on a drz400?

[@paulbrown7798]

remember to do a valve adjustment vid and that lithium/ battery box mod

[@MikeLowreyV]

Thanks for posting this. Just got a new tank and wasn’t sure what to do with that evap.

Cool, thanks man this vid helped. 😎

I highly suggest Lasfit as a great LED headlight bulb, or use an AUXITO (2022 version h4) if you plan to use auxillary lights, I'm adding AUXBEAM 4inch (2 led) flood pod lights where my front reflectors are. I got the LS2 Blaze helmet, but like your Pioneer.

[@southerndualsport3827]

Thanks for the help!

[@rossbrown9156]

If you are still running a stock tank can you just block off that vapor vent from the tank or do you just let it vent? And did you have to loosen the oil cooler to get at the plate with the line on it to remove before you block it off?

[@jasonstewartskungfustyles7106]

Great video, thankyou, cheers. I'll be susing this out. 👌👍

[@southerndualsport3827]

THANKS! its a worthwhile mod I think. "Every ounce counts" as they say!

Speaking of old pliers, I have a junko pair my gradad bought back in the day compare to junk pliers now the old pliers are as thick as the premium now. I was like 50 year old pliers gonna outlast me

[@southerndualsport3827]

Yes they definitely don't make them like they used to. Sadly, everything is a throw away these days. "Controlled obsolescence" is 💯% a real thing.

[@coreykellis5745]

Is this possible with a dr400 on a stock tank and carb. Is it the same sequence?

[@ck538]

Took me a minute to figure out that yours is a CA model. I bought mine new from the stealership and mine doesn't have any of that. I thought I was going crazy.

[@southerndualsport3827]

Yeah I guess I should have clarified that haha! You're lucky then!

[@southerndualsport3827]

Thanks for watching though!

[@ronotardo]

that is a bad ass build!! great work, hows the seat height on the dr650 compare to your drz400?

[@southerndualsport3827]

Thanks! Actually stock for stock the DR is a bit lower. I really like the power delivery, the bike is VERY easy to handle.

[@ziadajam5433]

I had a bmw F800GSA. Slid out on a round about and flooded the charcoal canister. It would cause the bike to misfire bad and stall if lower than 4k RPMs. And the Vegas heat didn’t help with that either. My bike wouldn’t be able to vent to the point where it keeps on stalling and the tank would be so pressurized it would swell up, shrinking at least 5 percent whenever I’d open the fuel filler cap. This shit is absolutely garbage and I’m looking forward to deleting on my dr650

[@southerndualsport3827]

Yep EPA crap is a JOKE! It really does nothing for the environment anyway. People spill more gas filling their cars than these bike would EVER vent into the atmosphere. Where I live we have exactly ZERO emissions requirements and the air is as CLEAN as you can possibly imagine. 😉 it's all BS. HAHA!

[@chrisdempsey3860]

Great Video. Do you have a video or source for the tool tube you were going to add to that space? Thanks

[@southerndualsport3827]

Thank you! No actually its one I made from 3" ABS black plastic pipe and two screw type plugs. There are many versions on KZbin already so I didn't film the construction. Hope that helps! Search "DIY tool tube"👍🏻🍻

Why after market tank does not have gas ingestion socket from evap?

[@southerndualsport3827]

Because off road vehicles do not require evap.

[@hitmax087]

@@southerndualsport3827 But why does off-road bike accept gas spilling? Is it for sake of weight reduction? Sorry I’m not an expert here, could you please explain it to me or maybe share some links to read.

[@southerndualsport3827]

@hitmax087 gas doesn't spill at all. It's a stupid EPA thing for the fumes. There is no need for the system it does nothing.

[@hitmax087]

@@southerndualsport3827 Oh I see, it is like a catalytic converter in exhaust system

@hitmax087 sort of, it's designed to catch the fumes from the fuel.

How did the hose plug with thr bolt hold up? I tried it and think the heat from the bolt melted the hose

[@southerndualsport3827]

Everything is as it was done in the video still years and 10s of thousands of miles later. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@ericcournoyer1595]

Do you thin we can remove this crap while keeping the stock tank ?

[@southerndualsport3827]

I'm sure you could, I honestly can't remember what all fittings it has, but simply blocking some off should basically make it like the Acerbis.

[@X_CHILLer_X]

What is that other canister just beyond the charcoal tank. Is that removable.

[@southerndualsport3827]

Hmm not sure I'll have to look its been a bit

@@southerndualsport3827 I am planning on buying one of these new soon and was going to take off a bunch of stock stuff on the bike. More of a stripped down look.

[@j.main2380]

Did this help performance wise at all?

Well it did take a pound or two off but don't expect and power gain, it's just a fancy vent filter for the fuel vapors.

Did you take the pair valve off? Do you have a video? Im looking at doing thus to my 23 DR also because Im doing a rejet on it so I’ll be in there anyway.

[@southerndualsport3827]

The video shows everything I did, I believe because my bike is older it does not have that valve to begin with.

[@hegemonictrader45]

@@southerndualsport3827 gotcha!! I just ordered the pair valve delete kit. Did not know the charcoal cannister was separate from it. Am I able to take of the charcoal cannister with both lines from it with a stock gas tank? If so is it similar to what you did? And thanks for replying!!!

@@hegemonictrader45 either the stock tank its fine but you will have to deal with the vent line somehow, I would run it up above the fuel level perhaps into the handlebar area

For the stock tank can you just plug the tank vent line?

[@hegemonictrader45]

@@shawnlynch5242 no do not block the vent line on your stock tank! When you get rid of the charcoal canister use one of those lines with the metal clip and place that on the brass nipple on the tank for venting. Run it down to the side of your swing arm
