it's a safety measure for a stuntbike, so it always gets the oil it needs

i thought from nothing the f4i hold like 3.7 or so quarts?? maybe im wrong, but i havent overfilled mine for stunting and i use really close to 4 quarts, i swap out oil filter and when filled up with oil start the bike to let oil run through and then fill again to the line etc...sometimes iv used more than 4 quarts and not even for stunting yet as long as your bike runs good i wouldnt be worried...
