I believe you have to leave it on but I do not remember why.

Here is a good write up

The purpose of the charcoal cannister is to trap escaping fuel tank gas as required by EPA to sell bikes here. Rip out all the tubes and plug up the connectors on the throttle bodies and gas tank. Less weight and more filling.

Checked at the plug with a meter and was showing about an 8 volt reading (engine running at idle) do not know what activates the valve to open/close.Plugged the lines and plugged it back in,just in case. thanks again. Ed
