You think you're having fun doing wheelies? Think about how much fun your bike is having. When your bike is standing up, the oil in the crankcase is sitting at the rear of the motor. The oil pick-up tube for the oil pump can't reach it. The motor starves for oil. No oil gets to the crankshaft. No oil gets to the camshafts. Because the oil is in the rear of the motor, no oil gets to the connecting rods, pistons, rings, cylinders. If you want to wreck your bike, then wheely away. It keeps me in business repairing everyone's bikes.

By doing wheelies, you are over stressing several parts of your bike.
Gears, chain, rear tire, frame, axle, all recieve undo stress upon "take off".
Upon landing, provided you land straight and don't crash, you over stress the front tie, rim, axel, forks(can twist), fork seals(too much pressure to fast), bottoming out the forks and jamming interior parts, tripple clamp, fork berrings(create flat spots so stearing gets a click or hard spot in it), handle brs and risers, any instraments on the handlebars or head area.
Wheelies look fun, but put way too much stress on the bike. If you want to "ride it like it is stollen", and spend lots on repairs, go for it.
