I've never heard of issues like that before but the oil light might know better. How long are you in the wheelie when the light comes on?

well im not very good at it yet.. so not very far, maybe 30-50ft at most.

i did put in a differnt oil last time, i dont recall the brand but it was a synthetic. i just put HD oil back in hoping that it may have just been the wrong kind of oil.

Just remember wheelie could get very costly and I am not talking about dangers, etc.
Belt, isolators, fork rebuild, clutch, transmission, etc., etc.
Not trying to curb your enthusiasm but just wanted to let you know.
Be safe.

Pick - up in the swing arm in the wrong place?

Not enough oil in the swing arm?
