[@ManifestDestiny1884]

Awesome easy mod ~ thanks guys!! Love the tutorials !!

[@enriqueortiz5670]

Another great tutorial. Keep it up

[@PierCityCustom]

Thanks a lot, Enrique.

[@garrettkirk1167]

do you have to balance the throttle bodies after removing the canister?

[@carbold]

Such a nice clear video. Thanks!

[@bm7760]

If there's no performance advantage why would I remove it? Thanks for the videos.

[@FOURfabrication]

because it's unnecessary weight, probably. And it's a little unsightly. I appreciate when you can see through a motorcycle

[@andrewsoldan6050]

Hi, is it possible to remove it on 2023 model? as it's located under the tank?

[@PierCityCustom]

On a >2021 model it isn't on display, so doesn't warrant removal. However, it is part of the Air Box unit, so if you do an AB removal, cannister comes with by default. Hope this helps and thanks for watching.

[@garykegs18]

G’day would you remove canister at same time as flapper removal..?

[@PierCityCustom]

Hey Gary! Yeah we would say that you might as well - both are quick and easy mods.

[@TheSweetasanut]

Just done bit longer than it took you bmw alarm cut down the room but job done thank you

[@fasthracing]

I have a really annoying plastic type squeak on my 2020 R Nine T classic. Seems to be from the front somewhere. Any ideas would be appreciated.

[@robertstimmel1100]

Pretty late response, but could be one of your cables from the bars running against your forks when you turn the bars. They can fray if left to rub for too long.

@@robertstimmel1100 Turned out to be the fuel cut off thing that dangles down from the inside the fuel filler cap.

@@fasthracing happy to hear that you found it!

I have a 2023 Urban GS and can’t see that one of these is on the bike (uk bike)

[@PierCityCustom]

Hey there! Yeah you are correct that the canister is hidden on the 2023 models as we mentioned in the video text. It is still possible to remove the canister on the newer models, however we would suggest that there is no aesthetic benefit to removing the canister on the gen 3's as you cant see it anyway :)

​@@PierCityCustomhello there,I would like to know,what size inlet diameter OEM link pipe muffler of BMW R9T 2023 ? Because I will make header exhaust for my customer,he ordered me only header,as he will use OEM Link pipe muffler of his 2023 R9T Thanks and best regards !

[@adnaanebrahim]

More fantastic content. Thanks! You wouldn't happen to know the legality of removing this in the EU would you?

[@PierCityCustom]

Not a clue, I'm afraid. Best to check locally.

[@blundster]

So why to remove it if it’s not improving anything.. for a couple hundred gram reduction?! And just a little bit pollution… those norms are here for something sometimes.. acid rain on you..

[@guymanning9513]

@@blundster Because it looks Shit?

[@afoley4128]

Can this be done in a 2016? Mine looks way different.

[@PierCityCustom]

The European 2016 will not have a cannister to remove, the US versions had a much larger cannister. We've only had to remove one of these once and I believe it still worked the same but I couldn't say for 100% because it was about 4 years ago.

[@mpstein1976]

No parts required but bmw part number?

[@PierCityCustom]

Yep, you got it.

[@johnclark1925]

Nice idea though to show us but we cannot see much of what you were doing, it’s pitch black in there. More light and closer filming next time please.

[@lylemacdonald6672]

I beg to differ. On my 2017 Pure (Canadian purchase) there is absolutely no room to place relay without interfering with seat. Not even close.

[@TheMonkini]

Check that your factory alarm has not been removed from under the tank and placed under the seat. I have the same issue after the garage fitted a tracker under the tank and move the factory alarm under the seat. Though with a bit of wiggle was able to fit the relay - but not perfect since the plastic tray on top bulges. But seat has space under for the tool kit which I don't carry, so just makes it.

[@robsonenduro3316]

where is that S@#$t on newer models?

[@PierCityCustom]

Integrated into the Airbox on the >21 models.
