Title: Anyone who drag races there 14 should look into an oli pan!
Post by: Bently1 on May 08, 2009, 09:02:32 AM: Well some of you may have seen the video but I wheelied and busted my pan 2 weeks ago and got oil all over the rear tire and was very lucky not to go down. I read about this problem with a few other guys and thought oh I will never have that problem and then wham. I would highly recommend the modified pan froms clem's kawasaki 125 exchange and it's cut with the drain plug moved to the back.

Post by: 00Busa on May 11, 2009, 06:21:22 AM: Yeah, I busted 2 of them before I put on a Clem's modified one. I noticed some copper in the last one but put it back together and went to Daytona with it. Shortly after I got back I heard a rattle that I've heard before then took it back apart and #3 bearing was spun, with light scarring on the crank. All the parts are back and it should be on the road this week..

I have read a lot of posts same issue I hope JR has changed his 14 oil pan.

Read some time back a pritchard road rider running from the police went over the tracks, cuaght some air and samshed his oil pan, crashed and died :(

Gotta be a design flaw
