thats just what they said lol they said it tairs up the clutch basket or somthing and they showed me one on a 999 that had its tore up. they saud it was from clutch ups and the recomended not to do them and to do power wheelies (which i dont realy like i like clutch ups)

I dont know if this matters but a 999 has a dry clutch unlike the wet clutches on our bikes. I would think constantly slipping a dry clutch would naturally cause it to wear faster. But clutchin up our bikes isnt as bad as launching them in a drag race which doesnt seem to hurt them all that much. I mean i am sure it accelarates wear but not too much.
I clutch up my 02 w/25000 miles. Still on the stock clutch. It is wearing, but I would say I have been clutching wheelies since 6000 miles. I am going to be putting a new clutch in here before too long, I will post up if the basket is damaged, but I would say no.......
also how much would the dealer charge to fix my second gear. i know its $130 in parts but how much in labor?
2nd gear fixes normally come to around 1200 dollars. You have to split the cases and tear the entire engine down.
As for the wheelies, it shouldn't hurt your clutch basket at all. You will wear out your plates faster doing it, but a clutch rebuild kit is under 150 bucks so if you like wheelies and can accept the cost, go for it, no biggie. Just remember, long wheelies also starve your engine of oil, shortening its life, and prematurely wear out your front fork seals.
