New and looking for stunt advice

Hey guys, looking to build a stuntbike.
Just recently got a pretty good deal on a 2007 ZZR600.
Sold my 06 636 for school, and was dying to get back on 2 wheels.
Question is should I set it up the ZZR to stunt?
Or try and sell it, and find a 636 or F4i?
I've been reading that the ZZR doesn't do too bad.
But has a weak frame, and tends to die @ 12'oclock. (carbed)
I posted it up on craigslist, but haven't gotten any hits yet.
And am antsy to get out and start stunting.
p.s. I am just learning to stunt also. Can do some smaller wheelies and stoppies. can't hit BP or roll stoppies yet, so wondering what you all think if the ZZR would be a good bike to learn on, or go for something else before i dump money into it. (cage, sprockets, pipe, etc.)

here she is:

Might be kinda hard to find stunt-specific parts for it, but **** it. Lower the float levels a few MM's, and clutch it up! Nice lookin bike.

true. I've found 3 different cages so far. 905 and FI are easy to get my hands on. and SI makes a cage for it also, but a bit harder to come across. Vortex has a big sprocket set up that fits, and SI makes a 12 bar, (which since its carbed prolly wont get). other than that, parts are scarce. I want a good hand brake mod, a streetfighter headlight setup that will allow me to keep my gauges, fork sliders and subcage, but cant find... Stupid newb question I know, but this is my 1st carbureted bike, (always rocked fuel injected) how do you lower float levels?

That bike looks good! **** it, stunt it! fab your own parts if nesessary. you'll be one of only a few guys rockin a ZZR, which is kinda cool.

and welcome!

Edit: if you can't work on carbs, just pay someone to go through and tune 'em to what you wanna do with the bike. that way you'll know they're tip top!
