Question:

I just learned how to pop wheelies. When I get it really high and then set the front tire back down on the ground, it sets down really hard.
Does this cause any type of damage to the tires, rims, shocks, or the bike?
How bad is it on your bike when you wheelie?

Expect to get new fork seals often... http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/disappointed.gif

As you get more used to it you will have better throttle control and be able to sit the bike down a lot easier.

just give it gas as your coming down.

Dont chop the throttle. With time you will be able to set the front end down gently and you dont have to worry.
