Fitted my Denali lights so took the opportunity to start on this and gutted the grey/green valve. Once I have the 1st service completed I'll do the remainder blocking the inlet hose and do the sas delete as well.

Hi K'man, since you have now seen the orientation of the spring-force with respect to the red rubber seal and the interior of the green/white housing, could you explain how this valve is supposed to work, i.e., what it is supposed to achieve or to prevent? My other two bikes (RE, Triumph) also have a evap-system but no valve between tank an canister.
Not too sure why people are taking the time and effort to remove the spring and seal out of the tip over valve to make it hollow? Just remove the valve, insert a double barb brass fitting that joins both side of the hose back together and done.
Not to say the extra effort dosen't get the same results but I chose to just revome the valve and join the two ends together. I didn't want to risk breaking the plastic or creating a leak when I put it back together then having to take the tank off again to repair something I may have caused.

I didn't have a double barbed fitting but I did have my wife's hair dryer. Only took 1 minute of heating to be pliable enough to separate.
@H674 I'm thinking once the pressure builds up enough to overcome the spring the valve opens allowing pressure to vent to evap cylinder. Also can't see the point of it.
