[QUOTE="n1acguy, post: 647582, member: 15551"] Thanks for that. Thinking more about it, I probably didn't have the bike parked in the same high heat conditions this year, so that's why I didn't have the problem this summer. I don't doubt it's a canister issue but it sure didn't seem like it was a [I]too rich loading up[/I] issue. It seemed like [I]lean, vapor lock.[/I] I wonder if the pressure created by the hot fuel vaporizing somehow overcomes the injection system causing the bike to try to run on vapor till it clears. I had the canister off one of my Ninja's and I always smelled like fuel vapors after I rode that bike, so I left the canisters hooked up on my last 2 bikes. If the canister causes the power loss problem, it may need to be disconnected for safety issues :devil: [/QUOTE]
