Just picked mine up and installed it last night. Got it out to the lot tonight and let me tell you it feels like a different bike when I get it back on one wheel. Super smooth and a lot more predictable. I don't think I'll ever run a GSX-R without one again. Proly one of the best mods after a cage I did to my bike. Thanks guys you rock!

ok guys i have a 95 cbr 900 rr.. is there an oil pickup available or do i have to make one myself?? could anyone please answer this cuz i dont wanna blow my motor and i've heard bad things about the 95 900 & oil starvation!

MR. RYAN SMITH

YOU HAVE TO WORK FOR THOSE, FOR THE ELITE ONLY.

MR. RYAN SMITH

IVE GOT THE PLANS TO MAKE ONE, BUT IT HAS'NT HAPPENED YET. ITS KINDOF DOWN ON THE LIST BECAUSE NO-ONE IS RIDING THOSE ANYMORE. IF I DO GET ONE FINISHED ILL CONTACT YOU.

I put one in my gix1000 and I totally agree 100%

I'm workin on it. couple more weeks. watch.

ok a friend told me (hahaha) the standard oil pickup looks like the one on an f2. what everybody does here with their f2 pickup is simply reverse it and grind away the bit of the engine thats in teh way..

MR. RYAN SMITH

YOU WERE THE ONE WHO TOLD ME THE TRICK, DO IT, DO IT

your avatar sucks me in. so distracting. lol. Yep, we flip the stocker around with our kit. However, just grinding the tab off and flipping it does nothing to ensure that the pickup doesnt spin 90 degrees from engine vibration or whatever that would effectively worsen the problem. Our kit provides a way to lock the pickup in position so it wont move, plus the main and most important part of the kit creates a pool of oil around the pickup when the bike is verticle or leaned hard in fast circles. In a stock motor, all of the oil runs back into the transmission. If you hook up a guage, you will notice that even though you dont get a light, your oil pressure decreases significantly when on 1 wheel. This is not the case with our oil sump mods.

hey fella's... the one thing i just remembered, was the half circle cutout on the flat piece of metal that goes between the engine block an pan, needs to be enlarged about a 1/16- 3/32" of an inch to fit around the pickup...

but other than that... it takes less than 30 minutes to install... and is SUPER easy.

MR. RYAN SMITH

It Fits, Its Just Tricky. You Get Your Pickup Installed Into The Bottom Of The Motor, Flipped 180 And Locked In With The New Locater. Then You Fit The Gate Onto The Motor, And Put The Pan On Last.

dont the centrifugal forces during fast and hard leanded cricles keep the oil straight on the bottom of the pan?
and cant the pickup be welded (or jb welded hehe) into place?
hope my 900 engine doesnt blow though..

Lb3

it depends on speed and lean angle. the oil pan is never facing out of the circle. It gets pushed to the side.

and yeah, you can jbweld it if ya want.

da Liks

wouldnt that sht crumble up, or dissolve? can it take the heat? sounds risky though..
today i took the mushroom shaped pickup out. i came up with 2 solutions:
1 take a tube (copper) with the same diameter as the stem of the pickup, transfer the ring and rubber that holds it in place to the pipe, and bend the pipe at a 90 degree angle towards the back of the pan.
2 weld the pickup shut, drill a hole in the back part and weld a small pipe on it that faces the back of the pan

whadda ya think?

da Liks

ok so i fabricated my own pickup.. i have to cut it to the right length though.. i think it ll work though!
original pickup


new pickup, has to be shortened a bit

LAST CALL

I want one.

da Liks

any thoughts on it? its been shortened to 3 cm's from the back of the oil pan!
