ZX-9R Baffleplate Yes or No?

I building my track-day racecar with a Kawasaki ZX-9R engine and now i am at the point of fitting a baffleplate what do you guys recommend, YES or NO?

If it's a YES is there someone on this forum that sells these items?

I'd have to say yes too. Especially if you're going to put it on the track. I made my baffle from 0.9mm ally and sandwiched it between two sump gaskets.
I just did a cardboard template then copied that.

If you've got an aluminium baffle plate fitted, remember to check it every year or so. The aluminium baffles tend to fracture after a while and have even been known to completely break up and destroy the engine

Mistergrumpy, 0.9mm is a bit thin for a baffle plate IMHO. I'd go for something at least 1.8mm or preferably thicker. Better still, go for mild or even stainless steel.
