Not a good Idea, you wouldnt want that oil sludge getting on your back tire, thats just asking for a wreck!!!
While xtreme makes a valid point, many bikes come from the factory like this(or used to anyway, before everyone started freaking out about an oil drop on the asphalt(which is ironically made from crude oil...).
I run mine with no catch can, no problems, with an open end. Zip tied the open end under the LH footpeg neatly and get a few droplets on the side of the swingarm ever so often.
i like the catch can because it helps me monitor the the seals in the engine
You can, just as the last few posts have said. Although, instead of a catch can, I just used a round allen head bolt that fit snugly into the end of the drain line. Got about 7" of free space to fill up and it cost me $0 to put in. IMHO, it's easier to drain as well when you just pull a bolt out and the crud drains right out.Registered User

And it doesn't make your nice bike look like a soda machine...

Agreed. Nothing against the guys who want to make up crazy grenade catch cans and such, so please don't bombard the thread with rebuttals. To each his own!
Can somone re-install the pictures at the beginning of this post for the step by step? Looks as though the pics are not valid any longer. Thanks
