Yep. I'd lay off the wheelies for a while.
But, if you must...
The Kat is front heavy, and without some mods, needs the clutch to come up. Clutch wheelies take more skill to bring to a balance than throttle wheelies, and have much more potential to break traction at the rear, especially on a front-heavy bike, giving you another reason to wait a while before getting in over your head.
Also, ODU cops ARE a branch of the Norfolk Police, and can and will take you to court or jail just as easy. There's a few cool ones, and a few real assholes as well. One in particular hates bikes, and would just love to see you wheelying on campus. If you must wheelie, I'd find a better spot to practice. Years of customer/employees/owners of Sport Cycle Center and Two Wheel Werks street antics in the ODU area has really got some of the ODU and Norfolk cops hating sportbikes.
One cop frequently in the ODU area has been writing exhuast tickets to anybody with a race can (especially V-twins), and you can't pre-pay that ticket either. He pulled a guy on an RC51 last summer, left him on the side of Hampton Blvd, went to Sport Cycle, and asked me if Scorpion mufflers are street-legal. I told him they were.
He then threatened Justin, telling him he has to stop selling aftermarket exhausts (um, yeah, right, OK, LOL!), and that he plans to keep ticketing. Being the smart-ass that I am, I couldn't resist the urge to mention that Harleys (including the police Harleys) are louder than 99% of sportbikes with exhausts. He replied by telling me the NPD has nothing to do with that, and that the Harley-cops modify the cop-bikes on their own time and $. :confused
After 25min. at the shop, he drove back down Hampton Blvd to the guy he left there, and wrote him a ticket. :shake
Off the top of my head, last summer, he also got a TL, and a Katana with a ZYCLONE (street-legal!!) slip-on! :rant
