I guess what happens is the radiator creates a vacuum when it cools back down and pulls the coolant back in. Gonna buy some engine ice tomorrow and get a bigger catch can. I got the redbull one you posted above, but that thing ain't gonna catch much coolant.. had my buddy pic one up on the way over.

If it's midsummer and we go ride MX... If I start the bike to warm it up and go get my gear on. I've found the radiator spewing a few times once I came back ready to ride. |

Ideally NONE should ever be used in a perfect world so as long as your motor is tip top and you don't let the bike overheat, you'd never need one. |

I put the new water wetter in it today, supposed to run cooler than engine ice. Also made an overflow bottle with a "nos" energy drink bottle. Should be a start.

Hit 74 today.. bike is sick, even with leaves on the ground, I was able to go pretty damn fast. It's also been a while since I rode something quick up there. The catch can worked very well.. it got a few ounces of coolant in it during my ride back home and by the time I parked the bike the radiator had sucked it back up.
