canisterectomy on 990FI

There is a pic of it below the map sensor. It was a pain to find somewhere to mount it. Fuel line requires some straight lines with no bends before and after. Plus those tanks really fit snug against everthing. There is no return line. These flow sensors work for return lines too.

Aha! So it's a direct fuel injection, more modern tech. My Aprilia RXV550 is also direct fuel injection, and both the RXV and the KTM990 exhibited the snatchy throttle at low RPM's, low throttle positions. A G2 throttle cam helped manage that a lot...

I'm about ready to do the canisterectomy and the sas removal on my 990.
Is there any new information from those who have completed these mods?
Are the resistors proving to be the correct ones?
Tahoacr how is your monitoring going and do you have any sage advice
on tuning etc.
Thanks, MAX

Resistors are working great for me. Same one in both. As far as tuning, been trying to get some dyno time with no success. The Akra map has killed my mpg. It is faster, but I will go back to stock. Even the guys I ride with have mentioned the fuel smell behind me. Thinking power commander would be good.

Resistor works well for me 15KOhms

Where can I order the resistors and plugs to connect them into the electrical
system.
I'm ordering a roll of the gold foil to cover the air box and tank insides, it's
3' x 10' for $261 does anyone want to buy half of it. Check it out in the
So I did the 15 min. idle trick thread .
Thanks MAX

You can get the resistors from Radio Shack. I got the connector from http://eagleday.stores.yahoo.net/ampconnectors.html , but you could certainly do it without that.

Steve,

Thanks for the link. Would you mind posting the part #'s please?

Also, did this work for both ends, SAS and the Valve up front?

Thanks,
Eddy

+1 same questions

Thanks.

Here is a copy of my invoice from Eagle Day:

AMP Connectors: 2-Pole ECK-212 1 14.95
Select Wire Gauge = 0.5-1.0 MM2
Male AMP Junior Power (AWG20-18)
Timer Connector Kit

AMP Connectors: Boots for AMP-CON-BOOT 1 3.95
Select Boot size = Straight
2/3-Pole Junior Timer Amp 37MM/2-pole
Connectors
Subtotal 18.90
Shipping 7.99
Total 26.89

I used this for the canister valve. I still have stock exhaust so I haven't messed with the SAS valve yet.

Thanks Steve

I need to order that stuff up so I can rid myself of that octopus at the next service.

Thanks Steve,
Parts ordered.

Does anyone know the connector type/brand for the SAS end of sensors?

Those who added the resistor(s), how did you secure it inline? Cut and solder, shrink tube?

Hi all,
Thought I would chip in with my experience on a Tiger 955i. I installed a Powercommander III USB and as part of this they sell a device that you plug into the wiring to replace the Lambda sensor. The Tiger is mapped to run lean at about 2,500RPM as a way to get the exhaust emissions low at the testing RPM but this gives the bike a big hiccup in the power output. You just disconnect the Lambda sensor and plug in the Dynojet Oxygen Sensor eliminator kit and tuck it away under the tank. They sell a few different kinds already installed in waterproof plugs. I am unsure which one (if any) will fit the 990 but they only cost US$15. Maybe an option for those not so "do it yourself" with electrics.

Local Radio Shack only had 10,000 Ohm and 22,000 Ohm 1/4 watt resistors when I went there the other day. Should either of these work?

[FastEddy760]

Hello Team,

I took the advice, collective knowledge and some luck, and figured out the whole process. Following will be the addition of my pictures and how I removed, soldered, assembled, bleed, and put the mighty 990 back together.


For starters, I used the resistors from Radio Shack, and the plug for Eagle Day. Here we go...
