Charcoal Canister Connections

[GrayDove]

I moved the canister to clean under the seat and saw there is only one connection. Is this right? I also noticed there is an unattached tube (shown in green), should this be connected to the smaller (red) port of the canister? Visuals below, the canister is on the right with one connection with a clamp. I have a CA motorcycle if that's relevant, I understand this is part of emissions control.

I can't recall how it was on mine when I removed it, but do remember a hose that was not connected. weird right?

Yeah, I would also expect any connections to be held with a clamp so I guess there's only one connection to this canister. I'm still reading about what this emission control is doing but it seems to be different on different bikes. I'm assuming the only hose is somehow connected to the tank, but it's not the breather hose since that ends on top of the intake manifold.

Thanks, so there should be two connections.
"There will be two hoses attached to it. A larger hose with a clamp (this hose travels to the fitting that was unplugged in step 3) and a smaller hose that should pull off when you pull back the canister far enough"

With my canister gone and a Shorai lithium battery, I can actually fit all of the tool kit under the seat!

You have a tool kit with your bike?

On my European version the small hose (green circle) is connected to the small tube. On the charcoal canister there should be another tube to the atmosphere.
