Just wanting some advice, car is being used mainly on the road with the occasional track day on full slicks. Would it be wise to baffle the sump or is it deemed not necessary?
Should i get the sump shortened also as it protrudes quite far out and is the lowest point on the car!

I wouldn't shorten your sump, they usually hang down quite low, say 125mm. I've had 2 cars both with zx9r engines, they are fantastic simple power plants. I have a brand new, unused baffle plate from Fluke motorsport if you want it? I have two brand new kawasaki gaskets with which to sandwich it. Additionally i also have a a brand new, still boxed EBC kevlar clutch kit.

If you cut the drop down part of the sump you will have to relocate the drain plug and shorten the pick up as well. It will give you better clearance and help fitting into the chassis though.

I did mine , just for peace of mind. It's not baffled and I have had no issues so far.
If you do cut down your sump, just slightly over fill with oil to compensate for lack of volume in your new sump.


chopped sump

Thanks for your replies.
I will have to think more about the shortening of the sump.
What's the opinions on a baffle plate though?
