Whats up guys as you can see i am new here and just starting to get into stunting. Anyway i have a 99 zx6r that i am about to put a cage/ect on, but i thought i should get an opinion on the bike before i dump money into parts.
Thanks

 

Don't do it. Frame will crack for sure!! Cage doesn't help, it'll save the motor but brake everything else around it.

 

Thanks dude... well in that case anyone wanna buy a 99 zx6r or trade

 

its a solid bike and a cool bike to learn on.. put on a cage and cut like 2 inches off the pegs..

after the bike is trashed.. sell it to someone else who wants to learn and buy a nicer newer bike

 

yeah it is nice bike however it does crack real east & the cage doesnt not really help for the frame , so cage and frame dont get along ..just b carefully

 

thanks guys i think im gonna try to sell it and pick up a f4i or a newer zx

 

your gonna get mixed responses, but Listen to Thomas, he used to rock one hardcore.

All the ones I've seen get stunted were tanks, they held up to alot, never saw a frame crack either.

 

Got a 2000, but i'm not very hard on it

Couldn't find a cage i liked so we made one... and the bar as well. chop the levers and pegs a lil... and check the bolts on the subframe. Mine were loose as hell

 

its allright..my boy had 1...The frame will crack!! everyone i know who rocked 1 of them eventually cracked there frame...

 

Where you guys seeing the frames crack? @ the neck?

 

the frames usually only crack if your motor mounts are loose and you slam the bike down alot , the motor is most of the support for the frame

i learned on a 98 and it took alot of beating but i did crack the frame ...lol

 

ok sell that bike for 2 k and buy a newer nicer bike for 4k


trash the new bike learning over the next year and then sell it for 2k and buy a new bike...

or

buy a cage for the zx6.. trash it learning this coming year.. then sell it for 2k to someone else who wants a starter stuntbike.. and then buy a nicer bike after you have learned a bunch of **** and have it for a while looking and running mint!

 

+1

 

once again, listen to Thomas!

 

Makes sense to me, i guess i will just have to check everything over while i have it apart.
Is there a specific cage i should be looking at that will work better on my bike? Or any other ways to reinforce the frame?

 

i seen 2 differnt frames crack on those bikes... real bad stunt bike

 

ive seen f4i frames crack...

Ive seen gsxr frames crack


and yes i have cracked a zx6r frame...

its all relavent.. if you already knew how to stunt and were purchasing a bike and they were all the same price.. yeah get a better bike

but since you already own the bike and its not really worth much anyways.. stunt it.. trash it.. learn on it.. and then buy some newer ****

it is a very very capable bike

order a 905 cage

make your own bar if you can

cut the drivers pegs down some...

order a -1 and +6 sprocket set

and tear that **** up


the frame cracks right above the air duct holes

when it finally cracks.. take off the tank and go get it welded

 

Thanks for the post Thomas, I also have a 99 zx6r, I just recieved my cage a 905(looks solid), went 14/52 gearing, made a pretty ghetto scrape bar(footage of the carnage is coming) waiting on a foot peg bracket, and have a back up sub frame on the way. I'm not any good yet, so I figured destroy this bike learning, that is why I got it. Then up grade.

 

Rock it until it breaks, I learned on one and the frame never cracked. I did blow second gear once but like I said I was learning.

 

the 04 zx were real good if your looking for a newer one, and f4i's are tanks man look into both bikes
