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.

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.

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.

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
