Default Re: Oil starvation when wheelie - ing?!

I blew up 2 curvy engines in the last month, I did lots of wheelies, mostly 2nd gear ones. Both engines have a seized front cylinder, rear cylinder is fine.
I didn't keep them up for too long, but I did on average 3-8/ride haha.

LOL, i think you need to review your choice of bike! Either that or buy shares in your local scrapper.

Any wheelie will damage your bike, small or big. I started learnign to wheelie my SV and longest would have been bout 20metres, and guess what. Knocking its brains in. Hope this helps. Now have a 03 R1 and still has troubles, burt electrics out as all the oil went to back of engine and couldnt cool generator coils down. No bike is made for wheelies, unless its a old style blade.
