im not expert on the matter but i would have to say that it adds more wear and tear on your bike. also depending on how easy you can set her down you start to blow our your seals on your front shocks. but i dont let that shtuff stop me either :cheers

damn... $$$$ again.....
Is changing the seals on a street bike just as hard/easy as it is on a dirtbike??
rear tire wears much faster, and flat spots much faster
The majority of the damage to your bike caused by wheelies is when you crash...
agreed, if you plan on doing them quite often get a cage for the bike so you can minimize it though :cheersjasamb said:The majority of the damage to your bike caused by wheelies is when you crash...
Agreed...that is why when i wheelie i ONLY do it on a dirtbike. Wrecking my r6 would wipe out my bank account not to mention the added stress on the gearbox.jasamb said:The majority of the damage to your bike caused by wheelies is when you crash...
I'll stick to dirtbike wheelies, to me they're more fun anyway!
Fork Seals, Front Wheel Bearings, Tires, and possible wrecks. I am not rich enough to afford more than new tires each season.

will it be affected too?
wears your gears faster, flat spots on front tires from landing, and i believe your oil floods the engine in areas too - i thought i read something like that somewhere.
