again, im talking about the engine, i already explained the effect wheelies can have on every other aspect of a bike. its the stress of the impact of comming down that does the most short term damage.

When did i say anything about the engine? I was making a broad general point goob, not getting technical or into engine works...

I dont even think I want to put a dime into this bike because I dont really want it any more.

are you first owner? did you put all the miles on it? regular oil changes and services?
