RE: noob help?
eteller, in race cars a windage tray is bolted into the oil pan at a level which keeps the oil from splashing up onto the crank. in addition they also use a crank scraper to (obviously) scrape the oil off the crank so it doesn't spin it off like taffy. does running high speeds low on oil for 500 straight miles sound like a good idea to you? ***.

it's called highly functioning develpomentaly disabled. now as for showroom stock or speedvision cup, pretty much all you do to the car is tires and a muffler. and they still run the car at normal oil capacity. checkmate!!! ***.

thanks, how much oil does it take to go from the bottom of the sight glass to the top when the bike is standing vertical like you're checking the oil? thanks a million.

anyone know? i'd like to stunt the bike a little and would like some piece of mind that 3.5 quarts of oil will keep the pick-up submerged when doin wheelies, etc....
