stunting a 500R....

Whats up guys. im new here and to stunting in general and have a couple questions. I have an 06 R6s that I bought brand new and i can power wheelie it pretty decently and lately iv been wanting to do more stunts and controlled wheelies rather then punching it in 1st every time but at the same time I don't want to wreck $9k of brand new bikeness....yet. SOOOO my friend just got a zx7 and gave me his 2003 Kawasaki 500r with only 2500 miles, prefect condition......for my xbox 360....soooooo I'm thinking great I now have a bike I can learn on and not worry about destroying it.

Well...the bike is slow as *****, horribly weak, compared to my r6 anyway. Its completely stock and with this gearing no matter how much gas I give it it wont come up. Iv tried clutching a sit down dumping the clutch at 9k but still wont come up. I'm thinking im gonna have to aggressively gear this thing to accomplish anything.

Now I know the topic of which sprockets, what gear, and which to buy has been probably been beating to death in this board, but the search seems not to work, but all I really need to know is what gearing would be ideal for this bike? Is it even worth using this bike? Anyone stunting with a 500r?

Thanks guys!

Re: stunting a 500R....

I seen em stunted, not the 1st choice by any means but do-able if you gear it and set it up. I mean it could be a nice beater. I was hittin **** on a buddy's ex500 back in the day endos and all.

If you could sell to get an F4I I would!
