If a wheelie contributed to a broken frame, it already had serious problems.

Actually going to be tearing the bike down to weld a crack in the frame discovered while fitting the carbs back on :( . Looks like its in a place mentioned in the past as a common weak area. The left front downtube just above engine mount lug cracked clean through ! So looks like I'll be freshening up the bike will add bracing to avoid furthur cracks. Thinking that either previous owner or myself may have cracked it doing a wheelie?

Pleas post pics of how you repair it, I have a KH500 frame with exactly the same crack. :x It had an H2 motor in it and was not properly shimmed. :evil:
