newb got a couple questions - Stunt Discussion

morphiusrt · 05-13-2008, 10:15 AM

I have an 03 zx6rr and i want a cage for it but i need one that doesn't involve cutting the plastics any suggestions, i am not looking at doing full on stunting just some wheelies and stoppies (i'm sure thats what most of you real stunters said also)

also, what will i have to do to make it so there is no damage if (when) it falls
i know levers, mirrors, do i need to take off my front fairing, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated for i am very new to this.

thank you

ps i did search and check out the stickies couldn't find all the info i need

buy a salvage title bike to stunt and keep your nice bike nice

morphiusrt · 05-13-2008, 11:01 AM

i basically want to learn to wheelie pretty good without destroying my bike everytime i drop it because i don't have the $$$ for another bike right now, i'm trying to get my friend to go halfs on a beater to stunt with, but he doesn't know if he wants to get into it or not

Salvage titles are like mail order wives without the right paperwork. Without clean papers, you just bought a prostitute.

I want to stunt too, but I dont want to ruin my bike, break bones, put in the time, or get in trouble. I just want to skip those steps and go straight to being cool.

kiN · 05-13-2008, 12:03 PM

You don't want a cage if you're planing on crashing at a speed over 25 mph...the cage will destroy the rest of the bike in that case...But if you're learning 12's and slow stuff then get a cage

welcome to stunt life you will fit right in

morphiusrt · 05-13-2008, 12:36 PM

i'm just saying i want to minimize the damage caused by dropping it i know there is no way to make it bulletproof thats just common sense,

getting hurt= common sense
putting in time=common sense
getting in trouble= common sense
knowing that high speed crashes w/cage cause alot of damage = not common sense (thanks kiN)
knowing wats a good cage w/o cutting plastics= not common sense

yes i wanna do some slow stuff for now

SCOTT_Chychul · 05-13-2008, 12:40 PM

The Freestyle ingenuity cage does not require cutting plastic on the 636. As far as i remember anyways.

morphiusrt · 05-13-2008, 12:52 PM

i was looking at that one, does the brand matter for strength wise, has anyone had bad luck with any certain brand cage?

but you got 2 bikes already???
ps, u dont wanna cut ur fairings??? let me elp you... TAKE THEM OFF!

morphiusrt · 05-13-2008, 02:12 PM

the other one i can't really mess with or i would be all over it, its mine for the time being my friend is giving me money every week for it,
stripping it, thats another option, i just want it to look nice at the same time, i'm actually thinking about finding a non-titled bike to practice on.

Sikgixxer750 · 05-13-2008, 02:21 PM

Don't even waste your time with a non titled bike it will be nothing but headaches. Just look in the classifieds here you will catch a good deal on a fully setup up clean titled stunt bike for like 2500 to 3000. But in the meantime if your learning the bike is gonna get messed up regardless. So either buy a stunt bike or strip your 636.

this guy shouldn't stunt

NINER · 05-13-2008, 03:15 PM

Make a custom cage out of schedule 40 PVC. Make sure it is schedule 40 though because it is stronger.

AcingTeam · 05-13-2008, 03:31 PM

I think powers cage doesn't require any plastic modifications. Might want to look into it.
