Default A question for you guys that ride alot of wheelies??

I have a question for some of you guys that ride wheelies all of the time. I would like to know if over a long period of time any engine damage will occur due to starving the engine's top end from oil?? I know that it has an oil pump obviously but I dont know to what degree it will help. I would like to know from someone who expecially rides them for a long distance. I dont know if Josh from the CV Boys is still on here or not but they used to ride wheelies all of the time and make videos and post them up.

Thanks
Adam

No the engine pushes the oil all over the place, it doesnt hurt it. I would be more worried about draining your gas tank before you engine gets hurt. lol

Are you guys ever riding across the yard on the rear wheels and the engine starts sputtering and seemingly starve for fuel??

Most quads dont get this problem but one I do know of that has it is the YFZ, if you ride constant wheelies for abouts 3-5 mins you can and mostlikely will seize the engine so far it's happen twice to my cousin.
