I love to do stand up wheelies. im getting to the point where i can do a mile and want to go for two once i start working the rear brake to hold a steady speed, but i dont want my motor to blow up from it bein oil starved.

my question is what should i do? is there something special i need to buy to make sure this doesnt happen? or should i keep a steady 4 quarts in there to compensate? its only half a quart more then what i usually put in but i hear too much oil is bad?

the snorkle is supposively in the middle of the oil pan not the front, so should i be ok?

i have the same bike an rocked many many many wheelies over a mile...
oil light blinking always...
got 27,000 miles on her now...
flipped a stoppie an now shes parked in the garage while i gather parts...
sucks... cause i love stoppies... rockn 350 feet is most that i had measured...
now i got a f4i to stunt so i can use my r1 for the twisties an track...

i know i have done damage from all the wheelies an ****...
but no nothing to serious yet...
no weird noise or anything...
althou i did adjust valves at 25k an all the exhaust were off spec tolerances
and one out each three per cyl. were off by alot on the intake side...

runs tittys now!
well till i flipped a stoppie on a freeway offramp! haha

jus get a dedicated stunter an save yer r1 the pain of oil starvation!
haha

they dont make pickups for them...
got one on my f4i...

and blew it anyway....
this weekend....

SUCKS!
