Re: What Usually Goes On A 636 Motor?

All kawi 636 engines are noisy as hell, some say it's the valves but when you check em they are fine- go figure. Is it normal for the cct to be noisy when engine is cold but it should settle down a bit when she warms up.

You can actually tighten the stock cct. Start the engine up, put it on 6th gear, shut it down, clutch out and push it forward for a few tire spins. Cct should now be a little queater. I read this info on kawiforums , haven't tryed it out yet because of the damn snow. Post up if it works.

Anybody have experince on the APE manual cct? In my opinion fairly cheap if it makes the difference.

Re: What Usually Goes On A 636 Motor?

i'm hoping the cct is what's wrong with mine... my dad thinks it's the valves, but kawasaki doesn't even recommend adjustment until 15k miles.

yeah, who says kawi's aren't relieable? everybody says how strong f2/3s are and mine only lasted 25k.... here you are w/ 30k stunted miles before it broke...

to be honost, i don't care though... if the motor pops, i'll just put another in. i love my 636 too much to ride something else.
