Title: Ducati Bike prep
Post by: jfboothe on April 16, 2011, 10:04:30 PM
Ok I am feeling pretty good about my bike prep for my first race at HPT but I have some concerns about this part for a Duc 749:

5.2.15 On 4 stroke machines, crankcase ventilation must be routed into a heat resistant catch can of at least 350cc capacity or the air box.
A. If ventilation is routed into the air box, any drains from the air box must be sealed.
B. If ventilation is routed to a catch can, the overflow tube from the catch can must be routed into the intake area of the carburetors so that any overflow from the catch can will be drawn into the engine.
C. Radiator overflow and battery vent tubes may be routed into a separate catch can that need not be vented into the intake area.
D. Final approval of the catch can system rests with the Tech Inspector

The crankcase vent is routed into the airbox so that is good. The airbox has an overflow. Do I need to plug that or route it into the belly pan?

The fuel tank has two vents at the top. What do I do with those? Route them into the belly pan?
And the radiator vent. Can that go in the belly pan or do I need a separate "catch can" system?
