The only problems I've ever had from wheelying too long was hitting either the Atlantic, Pacific, Gulf of Mexico, or having to stop at the Canadian customs, depending which direction I was heading! :macho

On my dirtbike it wastes gas, but thats about it. Wont screw up anything engine wise..

Ive heard of people running really low oil like a quart and they where doing long wheelies for like an hour and the piston siezed up. However this willnot happen if you run the right amount oil.

I hosed the piston & rings on my old 200sx riding a wheely, but thats pretty much all I did on that thing. Best wheelying quad I've owned, of course, the EX is great for wheelying too.

as long as your oil level is ok than your oil pump doesn't starve for oil,so everything is still getting lube, very important!! MAKE SURE THAT THE ENGINE IS GETTING AIR FLOW!!! if your packed full off mud and you put your engine under a heavy load (wheeliing,hauling someone,climbing hills ect.) you can overheat it and burn up the rings.
