even for a stock bike if possible, dont use the pump... Theres no signs when its dying LOL. The only indication i can think of if you notice that you dont use to much oil. Knows from experience.. seized a brand new stock motor when i bought my last Arnada.....
premix is the way to go

I have never heard of an oil pump to seize, and they will last for 50,000mi. even with a 76cc mini stroker crank, if your engine smokes real bad on a cold start then its time to change the pump this is because the internal seal inside the shaft is worn so it leaks oil into the case overnite untill the fuel equalizes the mix, now you know how reliable oil pumps are!
