    Wheelies! Catwalks!!

    OK, Got myself a 200es, anyway, wondering how bad for the engine catwalks are. I was told that doing catwalks for a while wears out your rings cause the oil doesnt get up there. What you think?

    its supposed to empty your oil pump and then you dont get much oil up there, but as long as you dont hold them for too long, i dont think you would have a problem. I think thats what happened to my yamahauler, I always did huge wheelies for a long time and i was almost verticle. Now it burns a lot of oil and im in the middle of rebuilding it.

    To quote the Clymer Manual:

    "Caution, do not run wheelies for any distance with the ATC, the oil compacity is relitivly small, and oil will drain out, causing significant engine damage"

    Something like that anyway LOL.

    You can do it, just not for too long.

    were the oil pump is located it will barely feed any oil to it. usaully after about 3 seconds your out of oil. i would say anything over 75 degrees is very bad for the engine or at least a four stroke engine.

    i always wondered why all my 185's burned oil real bad, lol. i always ride right long wheelies
    see clymer quote below:
    Caution
    Do not "POP WHEELIES" and run for any distance with the ATC. The oil capacity is relatively small and the oil will drain out of the oil pump area thus causing loss of oil pressure, resulting in costly engine damage -CLYMER

    I've been doing them on my 200s forever and have never had a problem. Sometimes I can go for close to a minute when pumping it slow across a field.
