i have heard from many people that its not smart to ride wheelies on SVs. they say it starves the front cylinder of oil. Is this true?

Oil will be pumped to where it needs to go...

However:

All bikes have bad things happen when the oil pump can't find any oil to pump into the cylinders.

Not this again. :spank:

Use the search function and you will get the answer .

Wow this question even made it into Motorcyclist Magazine...in short...not unless your riding the wheelie all day.

You'll be fine. Just don't do them for miles, or hold 12 o'clocks that long.

Me either, I don't ride them for miles but going a quarter mile every couple of weeks has'nt done anything to mine, it's a second gen and according suzuki techs the oil pickup is closer to the back of the engine, first gens the pickup is closer to the front which would make it more likely to burn up while on the back wheel.

that is incorrect. it is in exact same location.

^^^ it is incorrect. the oil pick up is in the front bottom corner of the case.

second gen VS first gen

Ok my bad, suzuki tech gave bad info in that article that was written about the issue and I've never cracked my cases open to see...so I figured a suzuki factory tech would be right.
