This may be too much information, but Kohler actually made a design error when they designed the canister stem. It used to be black, and the fill tube was inserted into a hole in the top of the stem. This tube often fell out and the toilet malfunctioned or leaked. Now, they use a yellow part on the stem and the fill tube is stretched around a plastic piece at the top of the stem. This is more secure and doesn't fall out. Kohler probably doesn't want to admit this design error.
