Wheelies and oil feeds?
 
is there any way around this. my sv650n curvey loves to bring the front wheel up in 1st, little bit in second with a handful of revs, but i dont want to kill my engine by starving it of oil?

I wouldn't worry! unless your planning on travelling large distances with your front tyre a foot off the ground?;)

Re: rear oil feed
 
The original '99 bikes had a recall to add extra baffling to the sump as under hard acceleration the oil feed could get starved.
This having been done, there should be no issue with normal riding, though people have caused problems pulling huge long wheelies everywhere, we're not talking a little lift under power here, we're talking stunt riding.

Making a change would take a bit of work, and you'd have to make sure you were also going to be fine under heavy braking too. My understanding is where it is situated is fine for use up to, and including racing.
