wheelies and oil starvation?

Post by tradedog »

Can any of you brave souls who have delved into the guts of a VTR tell me whether the motor is still getting oil when its on its back wheel?

Thx

I think a long wheelie would reduce the oil that gets splashed around the front of the engine, ie crank splashes it up the bores etc. So keep em short, well that's my excuse.
