Well for starters I have an 04' SDG 107, and had a quick Q about oil pumps. About 50% of the time I ride, it's just messin around doing wheelies and whatnot, and with the motor now being verticle for longer periods of time under stress is there any alarm I should have of the motor not properly lubricating? I'm just paranoid of blowing it up from the pump not being able to grab any oil. Should I add an extra 1/2 quart of oil to help, or will it be alright?

I know of 70s that spend almost all of their time vertical with no issue, so I don't think your 107 will have too much trouble. Frequent oil changes, and keep an eye on the rockers as they will be your first telltales of the top end starving for oil.

Alright, thanks. I just was a little paranoid after my friends were talking about ruining motors on street bikes.
