And no i don't have the oil pickup. I don't need one if i keep the bike off the 12 bar. With that said, if i had a gixxer, i would absolutely buy one. From what i've seen, their oil lights come on when a wheelie is anywhere near the balance point.
Me buying an oil pickup for my bike would be kinda like wearing a condom while jacking off.

Well let me state some facts. My oil never comes on (i don't do bar tricks), meaning it's getting oil. With an extanded oil pickup, the oil light would never come on. Hmmm, no difference. It's getting the same amount of oil either way.

Re: stuntex oil pickup??
The stuntex.com oil pickup is well worth the money. I dont' even like picking my new bike up right now because I don't have one.
I've rocked them since the first design, and I can tell you that's more important than a cage to me. Ridden 2 F4i's with them, and of course my own gixxers with and without them. Bike runs much smoother, and I dont' worry about throwing it back for long periods of time. Sometimes we would be on the back wheel for 5-10 min without putting it down, so it was definetly worth it.
Put it to you like this, when your oil light comes on in your car, don't you take it seriously. Now think about it in a high performance motor,
Get the picture 
PS over filling the oil helps until it fills your airbox, down and hydrolocks your motor, lol. Wait till that happens, you'll have a great time blowing rings.

Re: stuntex oil pickup??
simple fix...... check valve on the pcv tube. works every time....and i guess if I was doing 50-70 mph stand ups i would worry about oil starvation, but my bike hardly ever leaves the parking lot. maybe when my motor does finally go, then I'll get one.

Re: stuntex oil pickup??
When you have overfilled the motor, the crank and g-box will foam the oil, so there is lot of foamy oil at top of the liquid oil. Pick-up sucks this foam and can probably make oilpressure, and the engine gets some lubrication. but it's not as good as totally liquid state oil. Probably at low revs & low power the engine will survive with this foam. but at high engine speed&high power highway stuff it's gonna blow.

Re: stuntex oil pickup??
I put a stuntex oil pickup in my 03 GSXR-1k last weekend. It seems to work good, lot smoother on long wheelies. But the oil light comes on during EVERY stoppie no matter how long.

The volume is determined by the oil pump, not by how far the oil pickup is under the oil level.

Re: stuntex oil pickup??
I didnt even know this thread went to this.. lol. Look, there is no point in arguing over whether it is needed or not. If you want to make sure your bike is getting oil, get it. If you like to change motors, dont get it. The gixxers will blow up. It is all how you ride it. If you have a big sprocket and are working on high rpm engine braking highchair and spreader scrapes, you will see why it needs an oil pickup real quick. If all you do is lot riding and never go above 5K rpms, you probably wont blow an engine up that fast. It still doesnt get oil, but it is the RPMs that kill it. In the lot, you will notice the bike doesnt sound like a tractor and you will notice that it runs smoother. period.
On the F4i, you dont have to have it. If you are into bar tricks, you need it. I like mine alot.. and have been able to do stuff that you cant do on a stock bike and I dont have a bar. I noticed my oil light does come on on fast circles on the f4i, but not after the sump modification. I'm not going to say its safe, but I kill revlimiter coasters. 600-800 ft off the limiter the whole time. I dont do it every time, but I do have a slight addiction to the limiter. But whatever.. It *does* make a difference and has quite a few benifits. But you dont have to have it. It's up to you. Stop arguing over it.
The f4i is a cheater bike as it is, add the pickup and it runs so smooth that it is basically unstallable. You can be a brake jockey all you want.

Re: stuntex oil pickup??
it would be pretty slick if somone could put a glass window on a oil pan and run it on the bar jus to see the pick up submerged in oil........and then show it without the baffle trying to suck slashing oil and air
