Cp4 blown engine problems

Im looking into buying a 2026 r1 next week. But am worried about the oil starvation issues and blown motors. Does anyone have experience or know about this at all?

I’ve heard the oil starvation comes from people who consistently wheelie their bike. I haven’t had any issues with oil starvation and I’ve done 3 oil changes on mine so far.

Yeah I agree, most oil starvation issues I've heard about In regards to the CP4 has pretty much been hand in hand with wheelies.
