Hi all !
I bought the F4i'02, but I do not know whether to modification oil pickup or rather an additional 0.5- 1 liter of oil?

PS Sorry for noob question .

 

the f4i dosnt really need an oil pickup mod

 

What stunt mileage from your bike without modified oil pickup ?


Why then make stuntex oil pickup ?

 

Some say no, some say yes...Im one of the ones that say yes get one

 

myself, and 2 of my friends have been stunting the f4i for years without an oil pickup mod. if you really want to do it, then go ahead, it cant hurt! but you really do not need too!

 

How many years you stunting without oil pickup ? Are you doing rev limiter wheelie ? You stunting for several years at one bike or different?

Ok, thanks for answer

 

unless you don´t do long burnouts on the 12 bar or alot of bar tricks you don´t need it, just run 0,8-1L more oil in it like on every other CBR and you´re fine.

just run a 1/2 quart over, don't buy whats not needed,save your cash.

I have 36k on my engine. I bought it with 15k and instantly went to stuntin. I do regular maintenence. And I do bar tricks. Just not for way long periods. And I don't do burnouts on the bar. But I do a ton of revlimit caosters all day. No oil pickup needed. But if I had the money to just throw out for one, I definitely would. It can't hurt. And I ride a few mile wheelies with no problems ever. My light hasn't ever come on besides draggin on the bar for a bit. I run my oil right to the top of the sightglass. So about a half quart or so over top line.

 

i took my sump of and turned pulled the oil pick up out and turned it 180degrees!
when doin a wheelie it would put the pickup hole about 1-2inches lower meanin it is in more oil!
this mod cost me nothing so it is well worth the effort! i know a few guys over here in australia that swear by it!

 

Was told about this mod, turning the oil pickup 180 degrees, but was also told you need to fabricate some type of tabbed washer to keep it in place?
Or will it stay there on its own when turned around?
Cheers.

 

Ok , guys ! Respect for answers ! You have convinced me that modified oil pickup not needed.



Wow ! This great idea ! thanks !
It is difficult whether it be done?

 

dude it is easy as pull ya header pipes off drain ya sump!
pull the sump off pull ya pick up out turn 180 put it back in!
that easy!!!!

it stays in there and if it did come out the sump will hold it in there it works great

 

dude they r lies all the oil pick ups u can buy r a waste of time. just spin it 180 cost u $$$$0 so its worth it.

 

Thanks !

 

An f4i isn't going to blow up like a GSXR if it doesn't have an oil pickup. The stuntex pickup makes the bike feel a lot smoother though.

I have some Stuntex f4i pickups in stock if anybody wants one. $79 shipped
