huh. then maybe I should install a oil pump on my wifes standard bread horse so I not scared shitless to ride it? Would take out 3-4 hp if I read that rite? lol What kind of balls out racing are you planning to do on this motor?
I agree with the street bike statement. I have a 2003 Suzuki marauder I call my long runner. Its my cruiser, never sees the redline at a embarrassing 5k, mostly because of the over sized front sprocket and undersize rear sprocket.
I cant imagine oil splash getting to the outer lobes of the cam. Centrifical force throws it up, not around, even with splash off the top of the cam cover, I just cant see in my mind enuf oil to get over there.
I think those husq's were 2 strokes?
I just cant believe someone would run without a oil pump in a race bike, or anyother bike. Not only does it lubricates, it cools.
Dragsters and funny cars have oil pumps, and they rebuild them after every race. That there is a high dollar hobbie. If they could pick up 4 hp with out a pump, they would do it. They already run without water pumps, radiators.
