I'm guessing this is based on the recall for the early sv650 bikes. When the early 99 sv650x models came out there was not much baffling in the sump, so hard braking and accelerating could leave the oil pickup sucking air. This was fixed under warranty, and later curvy svs and pointy svs had more baffling to help. However, lifting the front of the bike and holding it there is beyond what a few baffles can do to keep the pickup submerged. The odd wheelie will I'm sure be fine but if you want as bike to stunt on this is not a great candidate. Unfortunately the first casualty of oil starvation on these motors tends to be the big end bearings, and by the time you hear them the crank is often scored and scrap. That puts the motor beyond economic repair.
