If the sump design is anything like an R1 then no you wont need to dry sump, but you'd need to check. I think a couple of people in the BEC
section have used FZRs though, and I dont recall the mention of a dry sump.
You're correct in what you say about dry sumping, basically its sometimes needed because of the cornering forces sloshing the oil away from the
pickup leading to oil starvation, you dont get these forces in the bike because it leans into the corners.
A dry sump sucks all the oil out of the bottom of the engine using a scavenge pump and stores it in a seperate baffled tank, from there its then
pumped back into the engine using another pump, the "pressure stage". Virtually all dry sumps need some kind of drive take-off the engine
to drive the pumps, they often use the water pump drive and then use an electric water pump instead so adding more expense
