i have a 02 f4i using for stunt. is an oil pickup something i should definetly get or will lower rpm tech **** not be a problem with my motor?

 

If your on the bar alot then yes, otherwise no need. Just overfill 1/2-3/4quart.

 

who makes them now and how much they cost????

 

www.stuntex.com

the description reads right but the picture is like a cross section of the oil pan/pickup??? Basically its a spout that is bulky and not completly straight down, in the stock form. In the aftermarket form, its a tube that points straight down.

 

NO! Do not buy direct from Stuntex....it is not well worth your money because you will not get your part. I dont know why or what happened to dude but he will not send out my pickup that I payed for...hmmm g I have lost count of how long ago. I heard from peolple here he got all mad because I posted up a comment here about the issue. Regardless he has my sixty nine dollars and I do not have a pickup....thats the bottom line...so unless you get one from someone else used I doubt you'll get anything from Mr. Ryan Smith...Although he will respond to you if you want to send him out some money..oh by the way he prefers money orders but will take anything....lol F ing crook!

 

f- this....


anyone live near here in Texas. I wish some one would knock on this crook's door already!

With an addy like that I should have known I was going to get jacked.

errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

As long as you don't LOSE pressure, I don't see how it could pull harder on idle..


I ran a pickup, it ended up just being a head ache. When I droped my bike, it lost pressure for over a minute


I took that **** out, haven't had a problem since.

Thats ALL the pickup is for a f4i

Its just a small metal ring with a tab to let you turn the stock pickup around, and a gasket to hold hte oil in the back of the pan.





Honestly, if you run at least 4 quarts of oil, you wont lose pressure on a f4i unless you keep it ON the bar
but when you put an oil pickup on, you ALWAYS lose pressure in endos. I lose pressure just rolling a 5 foot endo!

When I'm rolling out 50 foot +, I just see the light lit up down there the whole time

 

He doesnt live there anymore and i see him everynight of the week and watch him ship out pickups so maybe if you wouldnt have thrown him under the bus so soon you would have gotten your pickup he was waiting or some to come in from his machinest and you threw a fit......Il get one from him tonight and sell it to you if you want one still

 

Its cause it is getting better oil flow to your motor you can ask anyone that has one and they will agree...........Ya for a f4i it is not a nec like a gsxr but it is good cheap insurance in my opinion

 

I had one

for like a month


only things I noticed is A: didn't lose pressure if I left the bike on the bar running, without one, if it stays on the bar for more then 2-3 sceonds, it loses pressure
B: when I droped my bike, it would lose pressure for about a MINUTE! after 30 seconds of no pressure I could hear the valves clanking way more, and sounded like grinding sounds.. Then right when the pressure came back it got all quiet again
C: in endo's you lose all pressure, even lil pop-a-stoppie endos


I didn't notice any increase in idle power

But thats just me, if it works for you great. I didn't like it, was a pain in the *** for me.

Considering its damn near $100, and isn't NEEDED, I skip out on it

ended up selling mine for $20 less then I got it for :YEAH



edit: the one thing that gripes me about them, is the fact the gsxr ones cost the same as a f4i one, and the gsxr one is an actual pickup "tube" whereas the f4i is just a gay little gasket and ring lol

 

I know what your talking about but understand that I sent him numerous emails and messages before I made a post here. Then when I did a post I was very nice...I just wanted to reach him somehow some way. I do apologize for "throwing him under the bus" but seriously at what point would you be pissed off also. You really see him every night? Dud could you please some how get my pickup for me. I will kick you down something for your time. I dont understand how me not getting the part that I payed for somehow turns into me throwing him under the bus. Thats BS.......Please talk to him and try to have him make this right. I just want to move on from this nightmare purchase...

 

.......

 

Ryan said he emailed you asking for you address to make it right.................He doesnt get on here anymore but asked i would get the msg to you to email him with your addres and he will send you a pickup and your money back

 

I sent him the addy. Thank lord this can be behind both of us. Thank you for your efforts.
