Hi people,
Are the 96-99 Gixxers prone to oil starvation when doing wheelies? It seems that a couple of guys have been complaining about engine failures after pulling long wheelies.
I don't actually know if the oil pan is designed in such a way that oil wil still get to the pump, even at steep angles http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Anyhow, I think I've got a long way to go with my wheelies before I get into any kind of oil starvation trouble. I am working on it.
