I just got my 1st fiddy!!
I can already rock out 2nd for a block, but Im wondering if the engine is starving for oil like big bikes? Should I add more oil like my f4i?? I searched and read some of the old pages but didn't see much.

And Im having trouble balancing from side to side in 1st especially. Old posts said to drop psi but not too much. Does anyone drop their psi to a certain number like big bikes?? Or do you just lower it a little for your own weight?

Thanks for the help...I hope this fiddy *** goes away soon, its killing me

just drop it till you like the way it feels ..I dont know about the engine starving for oil i never had a problem with mine ,,,speaking of your f4i what are you talkin bout adding more oil i never did that to mine

you shouldnt need any extra oil. practice will help side to side and street tires make it easier

I've heard the motor can starve from being up one for a long period of time, probably like over a mile. Adding a quart or more can solve the problem in honda's. But dont quote me, I haven't been able to rock em that far any way.

you dont even need oil its more weight take it out but seriously my buddy lost his oil plug and drove it around for like 3 hrs with no oil and it still runs now

ok now that is crazy i ...i have worried about that oil thing bein up for so long but i never had a problem so i dont think it will hurt anyhting

just if you are gonna run the **** out of like i do change the oil every month its only takes like .6 of a quart so not too much money anyway

Thanks for the advice

I have run synthetic oil afre the inital break in . It lasts longer (doesnt form carbon deposits) in the higher temp of an air cooled engines like our fiddys it works great.. I havent noticed any adverse effect to the wet auto clutch in them either
