Don't Blow your F4i Motor... Oil Pick-Up's Available
Anyone who is stunting a 01-03 F4i should run this oil pick-up. When you look at pick-up's position and how it works, it's obvious that the motor will starve for oil during long wheelies. It took me blowing my motor to realize it. You can over fill your oil to help, but that causes other problems like blowing seals and causing extra crank drag.
When I got my new motor I tried ordering it from Stuntex, but they would not return any of my emails or provide a # the contact them. After several attempts I got tired of waiting, as I wasn't going to ride until I installed it, and therefore I had a good friend on my who is an engineer design one and have it made on a CNC.
Once I put it on my bike, many others who rock F4i's were hitting me up so I just got a new batch made, ready to ship. It's just as good as the Stuntex, if not better and the installation is simple.
The price is $55.00 Shipped, and for that price there is no reason not to run one. Stuntex was selling them for $99.95
I only have 11 left so if your interested let me know.
Here is how you install it:
1. Remove the header
2. Remove the oil pan
3. Put the repositioning ring around the pick-up (as shown in the pic) then bend the little nipple up. This allows you to turn the pick up 180 degrees around so that the oil intake is further back.
4. Put the baffle on the pan just as you would a gasket using silicon on both sides and reinstall.
As you can see, this creates a pool of oil around the pick up during wheelies so that you never run dry. Without it, all the oil moves to other parts of the engine and tranny leaving the pick up sucking air. Let me know if you have any other questions.

That gasket will actually make the bike run dry. There is NO way for the oil to get past the gasket, once the oil in the pan runs dry on 12, it can't get oil back into the pan..
Sure it helps soon as you hit 12, due to the fact your pickup is submerged. Once it sucks all that oil up though, there is no way for oil to get back into the oil pan unless you set it down.
during wheelies so that you never run dry.
thats my like it or not, I've ran a pickup and I removed it. If anything I'd just turn the stock pickup around and not use that gasket
edit: anyone that DOES run a pickup, purchase a new oil pickup o-ring!! I didn't replace mine at first and it gave me oil pressure problems.. My gasket even looked perfect, soon as I put a new one in no more oil pressure issues

IF your soo sure park it at or past 12 and let it idle, see if your oil light ever comes on..

Have you tried this pickup? Have you parked your bike on 12 and see how long it ran for?
Mine lost oil pressure after around 20-30 seconds everytime..
Oil pickups are obviously good if you do bar tricks, but if you don't they are un needed.
And this design will not make your bike run at 12 forever. I've tried it.

just put amsoil in your bike and you'll be fine....went through 14 motors before switching to quality oil, knock on wood i haven't grenaded a motor since- been 3 years on it so far.

I and many others who are running the pick up have not noticed any problems since the install. The oil definitely makes its way back to the pick up and it will always stay submerged with the mod. I know people who have been running this for years, hitting the rev limiter while sitting on the bar for a while and their bikes continue to run strong.

I also run $2 a quart car oil with a car oil filter
you can call me a dumb **** if you want, but park your bike on 12 and leave it running. Take a video for me if you would..
Mine always lost pressure after 30ish seconds, and the fact I never do bar tricks I just said screw it and sold it got my $90 back
my bike will run ALL DAY at this position with stock

How is that better than a stuntex oil pickup when all you did was copy it? Come up with something original instead of stealing someone else's design and making a copy. Ryan and Brad did a lot of research and testing when making those and all you did was copy it.
I have stuntex f4i pickups in stock ready to ship. I am taking care of the online sells now so that everybody will get there product on time and without hassle.
