Reply To: Engine guard/cradle for gt125r
why dont they like wheelies seen people do it before , does it put oil in wrong places or something ?
– Forks not made for wheelies , it barely holds the 180kg bike without bursting oil seals.
– Engine does NOT like to run dry when oil suddenly sloshses away from the spinning parts that need constant lubrication (cam chains, tensioner, clutch basket , bearings (again bearings!!!)
– There is no other 125cc you can find that has a lot of bearings inside than the Hyosung does, they must stay soaked in oil all times.
– Oil Pump doesn’t like to push itself too hard, it’s small but enough to flow aroundĀ ,Ā Ā when the engine is hot the oil pressure drops toĀ 0.5 megapascalsĀ Ā ( i have my own donors fitted with pressure gauges so i know when its low or high) ,Ā 0.5 is when it’s idling hot but can wane/hover around 0.3-0.6Ā , you wouldn’t want to drop a clutch and wheelie off when it’s that low.Ā Ā It’s normal 0.5 as the bike is idling , it will pick up when the rider gets in gear and rides nicely.
– Top heavy girl,Ā i’d rather do it on an SM bike.
The guys that wheelie 125r’sĀ are not friends you want when things go wrong for you.Ā They don’t care š
