In a nutshell, the vapor canister was designed to "catch" the fuel vapors when the engine is turned off and just sitting there, so the next time the bike starts it sucks them back into the engine and uses them.
it is an "emissions" thing.Most of the G.Z.s don't have them.I suggest removing the canister & blocking any vacuum lines,as it is not needed.
