For information about what an Evaporative Emissions Canister is and does, read this, or this.
I started this thread as a central location for instructions, not explanations, so I'm not going to go into why you would want remove your EVAP canister. The information about how to do it is kind of scattered about in several different threads, and buried fairly deeply within those threads, so I wanted to create a dedicated How-To thread.
Parts Needed: 1x 1/4" Rubber Vacuum Cap
Tools Needed: 4mm Allen Wrench, maybe some Pliers for the hose clamps to spare your fingers.
I would recommend removing the gas tank first, just makes things easier... but probably not required. Either way, you'll need to tilt the tank up for access underneath it, so review these great instructions about removing the tank.
After the tank has been removed/lifted, you'll see the charcoal canister/EVAP canister that is what you're removing.
First, disconnect the line running from the canister to the engine, and then cap it with a 1/4" Vacuum Cap.
You'll also need to disconnect the hose on the right side of the canister, but it will be easier to access and disconnect if you first remove the four bolts holding the canister in place.
Once the canister is free, disconnect the hose on the right hand side.
Once that last hose is free, the canister has no remaining attachments to the bike and can be removed altogether.
The rest of the parts needed can be harvested from the parts that have already been removed. Remove the coupler/connector from the hose coming off of the engine, and connect it to a piece of hose off of the canister.
There are two different sized clamps remaining, so make sure you use the size that snugly fits on the hoses used.
That's pretty much it... connect the hoses to the gas tank just as they were removed and you're done. Just make sure than when you re-attach the tank, or lower the tank, that none of the hoses are kinked. It's fairly easy to check on this with a flashlight through the gaps between the frame and the gas tank of the motorcycle.
Here are some helpful videos from Travis (huge shout out to Travis for helping diagnose this).
