Question Oil warning when wheeliing
Hi guys. I am new to this forum and hope it is the right place to post this thread.

I've a CBR 919 and constantly get an oil warning light when doing
wheelies. It doesn't seem to do anything bad as the engine keeps
working OK but I thought that there might be some modifications to the
engine, etc. to make it immune to long wheelies.

Anybody, any advices.

What's your oil level at? I've heard that it's sometimes a good idea to overfil you engine oil level a bit when you do wheelies. Maybe someone else will know for sure.

yea you can overfill your oil by 1 qt or buy a pickup if they make one for your bike.

It's close to maximum. So you say just to overfill it. Will it not overburden the engine?

They make longer pick-ups, they are better for the bike but 1/2 qt over I don't think will hurt It covers the bottom of engine/transmission/crankcase so there is room for a little more!
