Short wheelies won't do the engine any harm on the SV. However they may do the bike a lot of harm when you get it wrong

A lad I know with a K6 just revs it up and drops the clutch, I think he lost his licence now though, He had a ccm 404 before and he siezed the engine in that by getting it on the back wheel

Yeah was a tad. I reckon you could go for 100 meters without causing much damage. Don't take my word for it though, just what I've heard from various people.
