Wheelying is bad for your health..

[Sparks!]

.. maybe not your health directly, but it's bad for your wallet anyway!

SV has gone pop from oil starvation, it still works and runs but smokes a lot, seems the valve stem seals are fucked

Not sure if engines gotta come out or not, people on SV forum are saying it'll be cheaper to buy a new engine (second hand) but I'm going to have to try and do the job myself as I can't spare enough cash for a garage to do it or for a new engine..

SV lasted 4 weeks.. KTM lasted 4 weeks or so also.. I'm noticing a pattern? Two fucked engines doh.. I move house in 3 weeks time and have no way to move 2 engineless bikes?!?!

Why didn't I listen to the people who said DON'T wheely the SV it'll just go pop

I thought SV's were supposed to be good wheelie bikes.

Remind me never to buy a bike off you...

We need to put those bars on the back of your bike to stop you wheelying!

heres a thought for you Yams! Sell the house and with the extra money left over from paying the mortgage out move to Australia and buy a cheap (compared to U.K. prices) house here in Western Australia I will sell you my bike and you can wheelie all day everyday in the warm sunshine come on you know you want to!

Get a TL1000, great for wheelies and I'm sure that you won't have any mechanical problems with one.

I can wheelie my ZX6R (badly) so an expert like yourself should be able to abuse one. Takes a little coaxing in 2nd to lift but it does it

Get a Yam RD500 and see if you can wheelie that without flipping it

Never heard of problems with inline4's, V4's are susceptible though.
