I've been reading through the pages, and I haven't seen this issue come up before. Flame away if this has been asked a million times. lol

I was doing a highway wheelie for 1km, and when I set it down, a big cloud of oil smoke came out of the exhaust then quickly went away. I was doing this wheelie at about 12,000rpm. Would this be a main contributing factor and I should just get the RPMs lower? Or is there some kind of mod I have to do to make sure oil doesn't get somewhere it shouldn't. Thanks in advance for any advice.

 

my 05 R6 used to do that, clean your airbox oil gets sucked in there when you keep it up high for a while. theres a thread on how to make a crankcase vent on here somewhere.

You sure it wasn't just your front tire? You know the whole 747 effect?

 

100%, it wasn't that litte puff of smoke u get from setting a wheelie down at like 80-100km/hour, it was a lot, and coming from the exhaust.

 

ty, I'll look further into it tomorrow morning.

Hopefully SL's search feature is back up and running.

 

I seriously suggest you dont do that "kleen air mod" on this bike... I did it on my bike and it was running beyond shitty

 

i ran a stuntex oil pickup and never had a problem once:YEAH but if u dontfix it it will BLOW up

I can't believe I'm going to beat someone to it....

Sell it and buy a Honda...

 

Someone already told me that about 1min after they saw it happen.. but ur the first to tell me over the internet.

 

this coming from a guy with a Yamaha and a Suzuki

 

That's everybody's solution to any problem with any brand other than honda.

 

just the statement is what I meant...

Yes...no Honda's here

 

I knew most would get it

 

I'll install the oil pick up tonight and see what happens.

 

It'll save your motor.

 

no pickup here, 1 quart over and no problems at all..... Have had the smoke twice since bought new, but it was the same situation, high rpm's, long wheelies.... So i just keep it in the lower rpms and kick it back to slow it down when i start chasing it.... Over 20,000 on it and no motor problems, the subframe on the other hand...
