Question Stuntin the ZX9...

Hi.
I've got '99 Kawasaki ZX9-R.
I know it's not the best choice for stunt but I have to practice on what I've got... Maybe I'll change it next year but in this season I have to stunt heavy ZX9.


My bike it's almost stock. I've changed only exhaust and put K&N. Gearing and other things are stock.
Bike was minty but now it's not so perfect so I've decided to change few things to make it better for stunt and I need some tips.


1. Crash Cage.
There aren't any companys in Poland which are building the cages and I have to do it myself. I need some tips for doing that. Maybe somene have some pictures of cages in ZX9. Or at least maybe someone can tell me where are the best mounting point for the cage.


2. Denting the tank.
I'm going to dent my tank- any tips with that?


3.Engine
Can you give me some advices how to prepare the engine for stunt. I don't want to blow the engine in some stupid way and I also don't want it to smoke when I'll do high wheelie and put little more oil than it is in stock.


4.Others??
Are any other special things about this bike I should know? I would be very thankfull for any help...
It's very important for me.


oh.. last question is about slow stuff.
I can't do it right now but I'm going to try slow my wheelies down a little and maybe attempt do slow ****. Can you give me any tips? What gear? Should I set the idle higher?
Do I have to change gearing(stock right now)- if I do will the -1 front and +2rear be enough?


Please give me some help.
I'm learning only from movies and on my own mistakes... it would be a lot easier for me if somone can give me some answers fore my questions and any tips.

About the cages, i've ordered an 905 but they sucked, had to take of and make an adjustments I have some pics of selfmade cages for zx9r, can replay you from psyco13@gmail.com
