Author Message   Jzito Posted on Tuesday, April 28, 2009 - 02:00 am:        Hi everyone, I,m new to this site & to Buells in general. I was reading the other thread about TDman77 Catch can from Pegasus. Is there a Vent in this can..? If so, can I mount a breather directly to it, or do I run a hose with a breather on the end..? Where do I run the hose..? Do I even need a breather? What is everyone doing..? Also... I run this can from my force intake..correct..? eliminating the chrome tube that now runs into the bottom of the air filter..? Then plug THAT hole..? I know these are alot of questions... Thank you in advance!   Jzito Posted on Tuesday, April 28, 2009 - 02:12 am:        I forgot to mention: I have a 99 X1 injected.   Tdman77 Posted on Tuesday, April 28, 2009 - 02:30 am:        Jzito - You are pretty much correct. The catch can has 2 intake fittings one on top and one on the side near the top. Most are using a small breather filter on one fitting and the line from the breather bolts to the other fitting. I have mine set up like this. Do a search in the Knowledge Vault on catch can. There are a number of threads there where people have use everything from beer bottles to coffee cans. By using a catch can you are redirecting the crank case gases from going back into the intake. It's suppose to give a tiny bit of power but mainly keeps your intake from getting all oily.   Jzito Posted on Tuesday, April 28, 2009 - 02:54 am:        Fantastic! I like the way you have yours mounted! but I don't see the breather filter on yours..? Is is pointing toward the engine..? maybe that's why I cant see it..? Thank you for your helping me with this! I LOVE THIS BLOG! YOU GUYS REALLY SEEM TO KNOW YOUR SH*T!!   Jzito Posted on Tuesday, April 28, 2009 - 02:56 am:        TDman, I just looked @ yours again. I now see the hose running down the left side of your bike. Where does that hose end up..?   Tdman77 Posted on Tuesday, April 28, 2009 - 03:05 am:        I have my filter tuck up under chin spoiler out of sight. If you look you can see the hose running down there. This is a great site and there are tons of good folks here. Use the search it will answer lots of questions and when you can't find an answer then give us a shout out. I am pretty new to the Buell community also. I have been riding for about 15yrs all mainly on jap sport bikes. My last bike was a 05GSXR1K turbo (R.I.P.), very fast but not the torque monster like this X1. These V-twins are a totally different beast!
