Title: Motorcycle Emissions Question Post by Mr. Hyde on 05/04/08 at 12:11:15 I recently met up with a guy who imports bikes form the US for sale in Ontario, Canada. I’m contemplating picking up another Savage if he can deliver a really good deal. Are their any other states, besides California, that have rigid EPA standards that I should be aware of? I think he mostly imports from the east coast. |
Title: Re: Motorcycle Emissions Question Post by rigidchop on 05/04/08 at 12:32:34 as far as bikes go, california models are the only ones with added emmisions. |
Title: Re: Motorcycle Emissions Question Post by Ed L. on 05/04/08 at 14:09:52 I think the only major change with the California bikes is that Suzuki installed a carbon canister on the crankcase vent line to absorb oil fumes. |
Title: Re: Motorcycle Emissions Question Post by Charlie on 05/04/08 at 16:54:42 I believe the carbs are jetted different in california, or at least they are on my 99. |
Title: Re: Motorcycle Emissions Question Post by joebothehobo on 05/04/08 at 20:50:16 I believe that as of recently the EPA stated that California is not allowed to have stricter emissions standards than the rest of the country. I don't know if that was the EPA exercising power they don't actually have or if California will have the national emissions standards for the 2009 model year (probably came a bit too late for 2008 to be effected). No other state has a state-specific model, as far as I'm aware, though some might require California-model standards. |

The carbon canister is connected to the vent on the gas tank. Then it's connected to a vac line on the carborator. Nothing to do with the crankcase vent. |

My california 2003 model had the same main jet and pilot jet as the rest of the country before I changed them. It has the charcoal canister (CA model only). Don't know why california 99 and 03 models would have diferent jetting? :-/ |
