I am getting my 999 ready for rallies and trackdays, in the process of installing a set of frame sliders.
the charcoal canister has to be moved or eliminated. Does anyone have instructions on what to do
with the tubes ( one from the intake?, one from the gas tank, and one drain).

Here's a couple of threads on the subject.

And somewhere in this long thread is more info.

The intake lines create a vacuum in the canister to draw fuel vapor from the tank. Remove the two nipples from the intakes and replace them with m6x8 screws with thread sealant. Keep the nipples for when you want to balance the intakes with a vacuum gauge.

The other two are the tank vent and tank overflow. Route these down to the bottom of the fairing and don't overfill your tank.
