Default 01 GSF 600 evaporative fuel canister and plumbing

Hello I am new to this forum and have just purchased a used 01 600 bandit for my wife.This would be her first bike.I have been going over the bike and have noticed that there is no canister and associated parts on the bike.What exactley is the purpose of this and what are the effects of it being absent?I also believe that it may be running somewhat lean in the transition from idle through the midrange rev range,seems to be fine on top and at idle,but almost seems to stumble.Thanks
