hey guys i'm a new stunter so any advice you guys could give would be good. i have a 2000 cbr 929rr. i would like to know if i should run more oil in my engine for wheelies. i can't hold the wheelie for more then three miles, but do you guys think i should run more then 4 qts of oil? my bike is my only way of getting around, so will too much oil do some damage? thanks

yea go like half-quart to 1 quart over . . . Honda's are notorious for oil starvation problems, something about the way the oil gallies are drilled in the block . . .

Never heard of Honda's starving for oil. In fact you've got a good bike for long wheelies. Dallas and Houston TX boys almost all of them doing 19+miles on theirs with no problems. Don't run over 4 quarts you'll end up running it into your airbox and down your injectors cause it to lock up on you, if it's the same as the gixxer, lol. Been there done that!!
