Sumo catch cans

[Pittenger5]

What are you guys running for catch cans on your motards? And dumb question of the day, do you need 3 different catch cans, or can all 3 fluids be dumped into one can then emptied?

2 Redbull cans

Oil breather in one (inside the airbox)
Carb vents and engine coolant in the other (zip tied to the frame wherever it fits)

Planning on running actual supermoto events, red bull cans wont cut it.

I was probably gonna run a Vitamin Water bottle for now with silicon around the holes I make where hoses are entering. I was probably gonna pick up the UFO catch can if I wanted a real one. I don't think it will fit with my current carbon fiber skidplate though.

I've used a poland springs bottle at an AMA supermoto event with no complaints or questioning. If you don't want that make shift option buy one of the fancy setups that are made for the task.

Just keep in mind that they need to vent still so if you seal around the hoses with silicon, you'll need to add another line just for a vent. I wouldn't silicon them but I would use safety wire to make sure the hoses don't come out of the can/bottle.

cool ok, originally I was thinking silicone everything but drill tiny vent holes on top but your suggestion is probably a better idea haha

APA makes AMA approved units.

How many cans do you have, just the one?

You need two Richie.

1 - Radiator overflow (I have a Listerine bottle or something strapped between the frame rails in front of the engine)

1 - Oil overflow

^Richie I told alex last night about our convo on catchcans and that i had told you to use one and he told me the above information...I thought you could run everything to one catch can because most are sold as a single unit...ooopsy

that makes sence. Is there a size requirement? ( as in must hold X ounces of fluid? )
