Dry sump cost??
Hey all! Ive pondered the idea of converting my '08 to a dry sump oil system and am curious as to the cost. Not much of a dragracer but _occasionally_ i like to loft the front wheel, and i dont want to eventually spin a bearing or something because of it.
Is this cost effective?
Thanks for any and all input!

You can probably do this conversion for around $3k using Muzzy parts.
On the other hand, I haven't heard of anyone burning a 14 motor up from wheelies.

Thats good to know. I know ive have my bandit 1200 up high enough (not even at the BP) where the oil light would come on after a few seconds :o
Im rebuilding it into a custom 'fighter and have since added a top-end oiling kit to help the problem. Just wanna make sure it wont blow up. Kawi warranties are pretty much worthless. Ask me how i know....

I also have a Bandit 1200 project:
Like most of my projects, it's half complete. I can't decide which way to go with it...I have a turbo kit sitting here for it, but I may end up selling it.

Holeshot claims 150hp/96tq. I'll be happy with 140ish and 90tq. It stood up EASILY stock with the heavy 'S' nose on it lol.
