When do you need an oil pick up

this may be in the wrong section ( BUt i didn't see a better place for it )

what measure of time for being on teh rear wheel constitutes needing a tilted oil pick up on an 03 gsxr 750?

most people i know that can wheelie their big bikes around here do fast long highway ones ( same thing i do when i find an open deserted road ) So for wheelies about a mile long or so do i need an oil pick up yet?

and does riding normal with the tilted pick up effect the oil feed when cornering or anything? just wondering if i should buy one for the next oil change and throw it in of do i not need to worry about it. I know gixxers are notorious for starving for oil on onewheel, but am just not sure if that's more for the long controlled slow stuff more or not

one last thing, links to some places that sell them would be cool if anyone has one handy

When the motor blows, then get one.

When you find yourself asking that question, chances are you need one

Re: When do you need an oil pick up

cool thanks for the replies, and thanks for the link Nags... when i got this bike i planned on NOT wheely'ing it, but we all know how that goes, so it's time for me to step up and at least prep it right before she goes boom... this is only my 2nd gixxer (mainly had hondas before) so i didn't know how bad you needed one..thanks again
