saving a gsxr motor
is there anyway to help save a gsxr motor when doing 12's. been hearing about alot of blown motors lately. is there an after market oil pickup or anything else that can be done to help keep from starving the motor?

GSXR motor
GSXR motors oil pickups are near the rear of the oil pan....which is a good thing. Just make sure you are completely topped off with oil (all the way to the top of the window) and you will be fine. My 1000 has 4500 miles worth of 12's and is still going strong
......and dont do burnouts/rev-limiters when you are on the scrape bar

You play you pay....
I just blew my motor...and forking out the $$$$ to replace it 
. My motor had abut 15,500 miles on it and was always filled to the top of the window with oil. But like Mellon said, try to stay away from too many rev limiter burnouts and 12 burnouts...unless you like replacing your engine or have money to burn.

Hey bro got some news for ya: the oil pickup on newer GSXR's aint near the back of the pan. i had the pan off of my 01 1000 and much to my dismay, it is actually pretty close to the front. down deep enough in the pan to keep lubed though I guess because my 01 1000 had 25000 miles, many of which were multiple mile freeway style third or fourth gear standups (not as steep as a 12 but pretty steep)
never a problem with that 1000. it has like 30K on it now, still going strong
