2023 SJ oiling

[Speednn]

Does anybody know if it’s safe to wheelie on the New Superjet and how quickly should I pull the tether if I lay it over on its side? Will the ski maintain oil pressure on its side or during a wheelie?

Finally someone asking the hard questions about the 21+ SJ!

It has a kill switch mechanism if you flip over but I don’t know if that is based upon oil pressure…. It also does have a warning light for oil pressure. I don’t think you’re at risk doing wheelies.

I'll be amazed if your telling me the superjet uses a wet sump system and not a dry sump setup.

If it ran out of oil with the nose up then it could also run out on acceleration. Yamaha engineers cant be that bad?

Well, you have seen the pump tunnel haven't you?
