So, currently I have an 01 f4i all set up really nice. I've synched the throttle bodies, cleaned the spark plugs, but it drives me nuts bogging in the real low end. It has +10 rear sprocket with a CA motor. I've just come to live with it and accept it.

.. until this weekend when I rode Manny's 05/06 636.

That thing ******* ripped in the low end and seemed painless to endo.

I have a guy interested in trading me his 06 636 for my f4i, but I'm concerned about the durability of the 636.

I've beat up my f4i for a solid 2 years and it still runs fine with no major problems (besides one crack in the frame that's been fixed).

How is the 05/06 636? The frame tabs look really weak and I'm concerned that it won't take my abuse (like pancaking tank circle combos), does anyone have any input?

 

rims are weak as ****, thats about my only complaint. i run a SI cage and have no problems. the cage threads into a bolt not to the motor or frame itself so no issues with stripped mounts. rearsets are weak but if u cut the ends off your pegs (like 1/8 inch)they dont hit with this cage anyway. all in all i think the f4i is built thicker but the 636 is still a pretty tough bike.

 

Knowing how you like to ride you would have issues with it holding up. Or it will calm your riding down because you'll be worried about crashing. But they're fun as ****!

 

if you run ff get a stunt stay because the stock one is plastic and when it breaks it pulls down on the radiator because the side plastics are bolted to the radiator.......

oh ahd the rear peg brackets break at the slightest contact with the ground but an OMR SUBCAGE would take care of that...plug plug plug..lol

 

if you cracked a f4i frame,i don't think a 63 will hold up for ya
go to the spot tonight.

 

they brake into thousand of little pieces

 

your ridin tonight roll out saturday man

 

Anthony just get db bars you know thats what made the difference hahaha

 

[QUOTE=Scott-;2968131]your ridin tonight roll out saturday man [/QUOTE L.A. spot sat.

 

+1 Ya the radiators are ****, but I took some thin sheet metal, and ran some braces from the bottom tabs on either side of the radiator, to the plastic mounts and its solid as a brick **** house. And the rearsets and pass pegs are **** too, they use crappy cast aluminum, breaks real easy

 

I went from f4i, to 636, and now I'm back to f4i....the bog is something I can live with. But yeah like Nick said, I took it easier on the 636 because I was always worried of something else breaking...

 

pfft look at kane, $42k stunt bike. step it up!

 

i love 636 more than f4i.

 

pretty sure anyone would step it up if it was free

 

nothings free, it came with hard work and good person skills. plus he tore his Durf a few months ago.

 

i love f4i more than 636...

 

i love lamp more than f4

 

add an "i" to the end and you will be in love.

 

had an f4i first, blew the motor and had an f4 laying around... sucks being broke

 

no doubt, didnt say he just got it for free...guess I should have explained myself lol....I would step up to Kawasaki as well, if they would sponsor me. There, thats better
