The Ultimate Off-Road Bonanza Gambler 100 Project

[Bonanza Bryan]

Woke up early and made the 8 hour drive. Staying with family in Bend. Drove out to the race course for practice, put in 30 miles of practice on the course and not one problem I’m very happy. Put in a new clutch bushing and cleaned/lubed chain, rechecked all the torque specs on the engine and frame. Should be good to go! Wish me luck

awesome job bryan. must been running some good amount of rpm's to get oil to pump up in the catch can and blow out the breather. good thing you didn't cook the motor with some of the oil getting trap in the can. just run a 90 degree elbow on the back drain plug to the can and you will good next time.
great job on building bike and making it happen. you never gave up even in the final hours. that's saying a lot. definitely paid off....

Thanks yea I was surprised it filled up but I did have that throttle pinned wide open probably revving up to 8000 rpm’s tried draining it when I saw it was full but busted off the wingnut that opens the can in a crash! Oh well she held together I think the engine is finally broke in lol!

How did you mount that catch can?

How did you mount that catch can?

2 hose clamps and I cut small slots in the recoil housing for the hose clamps to slide through

Can you explain how you vented that motor?

Can you explain how you vented that motor?

Crankcase from the gov rod hole to the valve cover. Then valve cover to the catch can

Does it push much oil into the catch can?

Does it push much oil into the catch can?

Regular riding not really much at all however for the race looks like it did push some into it
