Sorry love, but where did you learn that? No they were designed to be RACED and in doing so, yes one wheel riding is fine! and is no more taxing on the bike than a hard start from a dead stop. How is it that your bike knows the difference from a wheelie and a large bump in the road?

sorry rae, but dudes got a point. doing 12 o'clocks and 80 mph standing wheelies is bad, especially when the oil travels to the back of the engine away from where it is supposed to be, but the oil doesnt need to constantly surround the moving parts to be doing its job. Its extended periods of time and extreme angles that hurt the engine when it comes to wheelies.

a regular run of the mill power wheelie isnt going to hurt the engine so much as it does the suspension, or other variables (like shaking debris into the fuel line, disconnecting electronics, undue stress).

Guys, get a grip. The bikes are designed to have power and to lift when riding, but popping and slamming, draining the fluids while wheeling and constant forceful compression and whatnot is a different matter altogether, as is hitting bumps and what not. Nor did I mention anything regarding engines blowing from that.

I simply state that mistreating your bike and intentionally embarking on behaviors known to destroy the workings of a bike pretty much remove any valid reason you would have to complain about problems.

I.E. If i revved my bike up constantly just to peg it, slammed her around, etc, I would have no room to complain about engine issues or fork seals blowing, etc...

I have dynoed several times, it makes me cringe, but that would be why i let professionals handle that aspect...they are built to be ridden hard and ridden to the limit, but not to be mistreated. And VERY FEW people could ever ride a bike to its limit...unless you are a professional...

I have a grip. but you exaggerated a bit. repeatedly abusing your bike and using it for something it wasnt intended will hurt your engine, yes. But doing some wheelies during regular riding will more than likely, like gunther said, have the same negative impact that doing such things as revving a cold engine or neglecting to change oil or brake pads, etc.

again, im talking about the engine, i already explained the effect wheelies can have on every other aspect of a bike. its the stress of the impact of comming down that does the most short term damage.

Good review about 3 post in! and yes that is a bike on one wheel... = ) sorry RAE. I had to do it.

And your "only a professional can push it to the limits" line is pretty classic!

I'm sure you mean on a track where timed laps is concerned... Cause any retard like me can abuse a bike. I'm just saying they are pretty well built and at the revs they were designed you and I wouldn't live long. Just that I seem to be up in that neighbor hood more often than most. Well at least on the street cause on the track YES you would kick my ass I hope.

i can vouch for him and his WOT riding style on the highway,

effin a guys, get real...

Rossi can ride a bike to its limits, Mladin, Spies, they can all do it.

Any asshole can abuse a bike. Intentionally abusing a bike is NOT riding it to any limit. Its abuse. Pure and simple.

Riding a bike to its limits is not abusing it, simply using it for its intended creation.

I dont give a fuck if you wheelie. I dont give a fuck if you stunt. I dont give a fuck about your bike.

I do take umbrage at complaining about shit breaking because of someones intentional misuse. AGAIN, that is NOT riding a bike to its limits.

fucking a...
