A proper wheelie is no harder on your bike than pulling away from a stop light. Always save some throttle to set her down gently with and have yourself a blast. Those who don't do wheelies have no idea what they are missing.
You will wear out the tires faster but that's about it. I am on my fifth busa and all had the front wheel launched on just about every ride. I had to replace one fork seal @ $18 plus a liter of fork oil. No other problems. If you slam it down a lot you can expect to replace the bearings every couple of years but that's no big thing either. Just treat her gently and they last a long time.
Once you master the wheelie you'll find the only time you drop it is when you miss a gear? The busa shifts like a bucket of bolts so you will miss a gear once in a while. I would give the compression a couple of extra clicks so the forks don't bottom out but that's not a must?
You are much more likely to get yourself a big fat ticket than you are to drop it.
probably the rear tail light will be the first victim..
after that... depends which way it flops.
I like your Gary McCoy avatar.Is it Willie, Wheelie, or Willis....or did you mean Will He...
