I've been looking into lightening the klx. The fuel tank has 3 vent lines under the tank.

 

ONe goes to where the carb vent lines terminate. The other 2 hook up to the vapor canister,no mention in any posts what should be done when removing that item.

 

Should the 2 vents be blocked off? Or since they might cause vapor lock...

 

They be routed in a different way? Anyone have a tip/suggestion?ThanksMike

 

Go plastic tank.
Problem solved.

Your venting sounds way different to mine. (maybe the 09 is greener?)
I had 2 long rubber hoses that ran down along with the other carb vents.
They weren't connected too anything.
I had no Idea what they did as they seemed way over the top to be just tank vents.

But with the Clarke tank, they were not needed.

 

my bike only has 2 lines off the bottom of the tank..... maybe different on the 09's?

 

If it is a 2009, it may have CA emissions so one would go to the charcoal canister. But to be honest, looking to save weight by removing a little rubber hose is clearly not the way to go about it, you would save more weight by taking a dump before you took a ride, seriously....

 

I had 2 hoses also I now have the Clarke tanf and just put a new Billet cap and 8 ball freeflow vent works wellThe plastic cap was getting some splits in it as they all do over time

 

lol, I agree,take a dump before you ride...
