i know wheelies are illegal and all..... but... if i was to accidentally do one, what would be the easiest way for it to occur? i know zx7r's are boofy but surely it wouldnt matter a great deal

Heaps of wheelie threads, just put mono or wheelstand in search.
And you are right 7's arent the best due to "heavy" front ends...
clutch works but...

Back in 1997 when Dangerous Dave's Bimota SB6 was in being repaired, he had a loan ZX7R. It happily performed accidental wheelies at will. !!!!!
Second gear, 5K, clutch it, and it will stand up according to Dangerous Dave.

Bloody cafiene!! Got home and couldn't go to sleep till 3 this morning!! Should have stayed for another couple of hours in hindsight. Then again, they were probably things my innocuous soul was best of not seeing!!!!

12000 and dumping the clutch will get a 250 to that height....also has a tendancy to cause brown stains in your undies when you do it for the first time.
