I checked out lots of other posts that have been on here re the gsxr 1000 and loads of people are using them. last night I posted on here re any general problems and got no replies, now I have a query with the sump etc, ie to dry sump or wet sump? but being a low budget task a modified sump would be more viable! anybody got this engine in their bec with wet sump etc and no big budget?

It depends on what you call 'big'. If you blow your engine, suddenly the price of a proper sump doesn't seem that big.
A dry sump will always be expensive and complicated. Then there are swivel sumps and modded wet sumps (together with a baffle plate.). And then there is the option of just fitting a baffle plate and letting the original sump as it is.

Check my www for some pics of my install.
