Default Will extended wheelies hurt the Raptor motor?

Well, I know that the Raptor does really good wheelies, so.... Will long wheelies (lets say on a frozen lake in the winter) hurt the motor in a Raptor? I know it's dry sump and all but will extended periods of wheelies starve the motor for oil and cause damage? I wouldn't want to starve the top or bottom end of oil and burn it up so is it safe to do long wheelies and not worry about engine damage? I've done wheelies with my buddy's 400EX across a lake that was about 2 miles long and it didn't hurt it at all but if I did that with a raptor am I asking for trouble? Thanks for the input.

Are you serious or just joking? I need a serious answer.

Well I want the rappy, but my head for my DS650 isn't done yet. After I get it together I'll see what the dealer is gonna give me on it. but I'm going BLACK..... It's a 2003 Raptor LE so it's black. I let everyone know what happens. So long wheelies arn't gonna hurt anything..... cool!
