I’m looking for a baffle/windage tray to stop the oil from going in to the transmission during hard launch. What are you guys using and do you like it?
This is going on a drag bike. I see 90 psi before launch and after launch it goes down to 45psi and slowly goes back upI wonder if a windage tray has any practical street use?
With alot of speed and lean angle, up and down hilIs, I wonder if you save a hp or 2 here or there?
Or if it would help prevent the oil from foaming?
I get the hard-launch drag use, but it seems it should make some gain in road race conditions.
I've never heard of a windage tray being used on a non drag bike? Anyone?
But it seems it could be beneficial?
The install is easy enough, and a common header swap makes it a good time to do so.
For $50, for the time, effort, and cost with overhead to make that, as well as design it, I think is fair.
My future gen3 may need one of these.
I can see the pros; any cons?
Thoughts?

Your 100% right. Wonder how you would be able to tell if the windage tray works? Back to back dyno?I understand that.
But, 'windage' is when the crank is spinning in the oil.
Windage trays benefit street cars the same way, so it stands to reason that it could have the same effect in a motorcycle engine, and I don't see why not.
If I am missing something, someone please point it out.

My “baffle” or tray isn’t much but the pan has a trap door

Are you running a high pressure gear and oil relief valve?This is going on a drag bike. I see 90 psi before launch and after launch it goes down to 45psi and slowly goes back up
Are you running a high pressure gear and oil relief valve?
With both of these, my warm engine idle oil pressure is around 40psi, and will sit at around 135psi on 2 step. during a run the lowest my pressure has hit is 60psi, but this is due to oil volume in the engine, as i have a front mount turbo and was trying not to run too much as it would just smoke.
I have now re arranged my oil return and can run a greater volume of oil woohoo.
Thanks for bringing this up!Old thread I know. But who makes your oil pan Dynce ?
Any issues with the baffle spacing the pickup down deeper into the pan ?Thanks for bringing this up!
Schnitz has one for $60 shipped. Seems like it would work good enough for me.
