You probably have a bike with CA emissions.....
49 states bikes have a single vent line for the fuel tank, that vents to the atmosphere near the rear of the bike.
CA emissions bikes have four vent lines. The fuel tank vent lines run from the tank, to a purge valve, then to a Carbon canister, and then usually to the intake...
Here is the CA emissions fuel tank vent line:
The 49 states bikes are much simpler...
While it would be easy to change over to a 49 states vent line... I suspect the ECM on a CA bike might throw a code if you removed the canister & purge valve....
