zx7r question

[Zenith]

Hey!

Im new on this forum, so first of all I just want to say hello to everyone.

Ive just bough a 92 zx7r thats in very good condition, and i really love it! But the thing is, I think its very hard work to do wheelie`s with it. Ive drove several other bikes before, and they where easy as hell to get up on the back wheel compared to my zx.. Is the zx7r a hard bike to stunt with or is it just me who lack skills?

Edit: Found out that this was a well know topic with help from good old friend google, so nvm this tread:P

not the easiest to wheelie, but it can be done, dont have that problem on mine though, infact its more the opposite, keeping the dam thing down

I must admit I have struggled to try & get the front end when I try.. But every now & then she brings herself up without help...

Had no problem on mine before I sold it. You clutching it or power? I always clutched mine up. I also changed the sprockets 1 down in front and 2 up in the back. It's a heavy bike try not to come down to hard or you'll be going though a lot of fork seals.

As dirty13south said.. it's a heavy bike and it's also front end heavy. But I like that because it's tracks like it's on rails. No other bike I have ridden tracks the corners like a ZX-7. Throw it in and it will stick.

As for lifting the front end. Throw on a Muzzy exhaust, jet kit, 1 tooth smaller in the front, 2-3 teeth larger in the rear and it will make a big difference.

My next step on my zx-7 is keihin flat slide carbs. I had them on my old 89 zx-7 and it woke the bike up huge along with the muzzy exhaust and gearing.

Roll on wheelies were never a problem after that. Never again did I have to clutch my bikes front end up, which made bringing it back down easier IMO. Nice to have the throttle control coming back down to earth

i change my gearing regulary depending on what track im at, drop it 2 on the front 1 to 2 up on the back and i pomise it will lift the front on the throttle
