It's definately not going to hurt your bike if you get one and there only about 60 bucks. Or take the chance of possibly blowing your motor.

Wheeliest

they don't make one for the R6, you wanna know why? cause they break other ways way before oil starvation.


ps: oil pick up is in the back on the pan allready.

Only if you plan on keping it on the bar for more than a minute.
After that your airbox will chug oil

Wheeliest

mine no longer chugs oil, it will dump oil on the header from now on

i never slow stunted my r6 and never had any problems with doing street highway stuff but my friend here is doing parking lot stuff on his r6 and his oil light has been comming on.

I Think You Should Just Get A Different Bike To Be Honest

**superstunna**

I KNEW U WERE GONNA SAY THAT...LOL

drill the valve cover put a line going to the front of the bike behind the head light and put a filter on it.block off the other line going to the air box.

Wheeliest

i over fill my **** by like 3/4's a quart also and my light comes on after about 20 minutes of wheelies and my oil gets all frothy like a rabies inhabited doggs mouth

Damn - that R6 oil prob doesn't sound too fun!

Wheeliest

i just eliminated all that oil into the air box crap and routed a hose all wacky through the bike and it ended right by my oil cooler thingy so it works out.. it wont dump all over my tire and it will be burned.

sdfkillz

excuse my mechanical ignorance but why cant u just plug the hose?? and why doesnt my gsxr have that problem?

Wheeliest

for some crazy reason oil pressure changes in these motors and it needs a place to displace the pressure...if you plug it up it will put the pressure on seals and blow those out n what not. yours has a crank case breather thingy to, just doesn't spew like the yamahas or is located better.

You'll be fine leaving it stock. My light comes on sometimes and i have never had a problem The R6 is the best bike ever made.

sdfkillz

hmm i see...what other bikes have that problem??

it doesn't have to do with oil pressure, any piston engine is gonna have some amount of blow by of the rings... no matter how little... if it has no where to go in a sealed case, it would build pressure till one of your seals (prolly valve cover) pops... so all engines have breathers, i know how it is on the 03-05 r6, but i dunno how other bikes do it... i guess it just happens that at 12 is low enough to start dumping oil down the line, which goes in the air box for emission reasons only... you could like some people said, run the line anywhere thats gonna stay higher than the engine and a breather to keep dirt out. my 05 does just fine with the motor off or or running for short times on the bar... but reving the **** out of it for very long on the bar (i did a 12 burnout once) and it chugs it.

ill take andrews advise. just because he is one of the sickest riders
in ct he is the circle god...hope to see you guys this summer..is anyone gonna be ridin at the expo?

andrew gobeille

Wednesday night rides will be back as soon as it gets a little warmer. Days are ok but its still cold at night. Should be even bigger this year. As long as you stay on top of your oill changes you'll be fine. I run full synthetic in my bike and just overfill it a little bit
