What's the procedure for removing the canister? Mine is a R850R, assume the same for R1100R.

Is this why the fuel strips are failing, because of the canister?
Do not overcomplicate this.
1. Reroute the tank vent line to beside the overfill drain line by the right foot peg.
2. Remove the lines to each stub-pipe on the bottom of the throttle bodies.
3. Install quality caps on the stub-pipes on the bottom of each throttle body. (The BMW ones used on K75 and K100 throttle bodies last 5 years. The plastic ones from auto stores last maybe one year)
4. Take the canister and hoses attached to it off and carefully put it on a shelf or in the trash - your choice.
5. There is a little valve on the left side of the bike under the seat. I removed all the hoses and left it hooked up to the wires. With no hoses it doesn't do anything whether it is open or closed.

okayFuel strips are apply to a later generation of bike
FYI:
On my 1100, did the same, and found that if the bike falls over, you will get fuel leakage. Be prepared for that, as the fuel no longer has a place to go, but out the breather hoses.
If you don’t drop your bike like i tend to do, no issue. But if you aspire to my level of mediocrity, then be forewarned
Picked up an ‘02 R1150R with good documentation, newest bike I’ve owned. Having heard nothing good about the cannister and seeing it was beginning to rust anyways, I decided it had to go. After watching Chris Harris do it on YouTube, I had no problems doing this! I was very surprised at what came out of the output tube, before it made it to the vacuum pump - convinced me that this was the right call!View attachment 76532
