Easy to remove. I was experiencing the bike cutting out while hot, just full-on die. On the hwy and hot, die. No one could give me any resolve. By the grace of God met another gent at a Ducati group meet up and advised me of the charcoal canister, that is required for US bikes. Via Youtube university, I as able to remove it and never experienced the bike dying again. It was pretty easy with Youtube, but you will want to make sure you are aware of the hoses and which ones are which. From what I remember, the 2 hoses kind of cross and such, so just make sure to follow them.
