From Ian Irving and Wetty, my problem seems to stem from the 2 crashes i had at wakefield at the 4 hour ( on someones oil and when the dick missed a gear on the straight and i ran up his arse ) . I have been told, R6's do NOT like laying on their side at all.... The std operation is to remove the filter, ensure its full...and prime immediately afterwards, then you can start the motor , otherwise no1 cyl especially can run dry for a time until the oil gets back through. Unfortunately this seems to be the problem i have encountered. I always warm them up thoroughly ( this was drummed into me by Ian) and yes i never slam it down a gear, they hate this ( the valves do anyway !! ) ... I will have more info when it is stripped and the damage is seen. my bike is running std comp gasket 60 thou and slotted race cams , so not highly modded..just built right.. I hope everyone reads this and learns from my misfortune...
