Bigger sprockets

I have trouble pulling my bike up at slow speed, wondering if a larger one will make it easier for slow wheelies

Yes. But i will tell you that those bikes are tanks. I had a 93 and went 9 up in the back and -1 in the front, i could wheelie it for days.

But when you go with that much larger of a sprocket you should expect to lose a considerable amount speed. And your gears will be much shorter..

And be prepared to blow those fork seals when that tank slams to the ground.

Yeah that to. That bike is so heavy, it is very hard on the seals.

Not just your bike. Happens on most bikes when they are wheelied a lot. The older zx7's just happen to be a heavier bike, so a hard landing is espeacially hard on the seals. Really though, these bikes were not designed for wheelies or hard landings on the front tire.

land em like ur a commerical pilot landing a commerical passenger.. nice and steady and your fork seals should last quite a while.. practice on letting the front come down as slow as you can then get it to come down consistantly slow and steady.. not like slow as dropping inches at a time.. just put it down slow enough so that the front tire chirps a nice sound and not like a stopping car tire.. as you do it more you will know what im talking about. depending on how your wheelie'in its pretty easy to let the front wheel down controlled and slowly.
