what are your thoughts? i stunt an 03/04 and i am looking to buy an 07 to stunt. i know the subframe is weaker but what else? reply if you have real advice to share.

thanks for your input!

 

doesnt really make sense to buy a brand new bike just to stunt it, but if youve got the cash go for it

 

there is no 07 636 they only make 600s now. i had an 06 636 which is very similar to the 07 zx6r and the only real issue i had was that the rims are weak and sorta expensive compared to other rims. i dont run 12 bars so the subframes arent an issue to me, just scrape the stock exhuast which is tough as hell.

 

I think thats a myth as I run 05+ wheels on my 03/04 and dont notice a difference in how strong they are. They are made by the same company and the rim itself is exactly the same, only the hub and spokes are differnt. Im on my first 05+ front wheel, but Ive been through 3 03/04 front wheels so. If you really think they are weaker then run a 03/04 front wheel, it bolts right on to any 03-08...

 

all i know is ive never bent a rim on any bike cept the 06, and it was only from a mild drop and the whole rim was bent so bad i couldnt ride the bike more than 35mph.

 

is the rear sprocket carrier the same for both bikes? i know the 03-06 sprocket carriers are the same. what about the 07?

 

Im pretty sure their the same, the rims are so the sprocket carrier shouldnt have changed either...If your trying to find out if your sprocket will fit Im pretty sure it will.

 

the 07' motor has ZERO bottom & midrange. I mean ZERO.

 

do you know from experience or for what people have told you? i'm looking for input from people who have ridden both for awhile.

Kane, where you at? i need some input!

 

I have rode plenty of 07's. I work at a motorcycle shop and I am the only test rider I like everything else about the bike except the no bottom & midrange. The 03-04 motors feel the strongest to me out of 03 & up 636's and 600's and I have ridden **** loads of them. If you are using it just to stunt, I would stick with your 03'

 

yeah rich i rode brents new 07 and it sucked compared to both my 05's. low end is crappy but it could be fixed with some gearing im sure. the 07's are sick looking! but having ridin all the years i think the 03/04 is a really nice bike i sometimes think it rides better then mine. but i think the 05/06 feels way better for stoppies and mine is more comfortable

 

Hes right. The bike is a terd under 6000 rpm. Honestly has no ***** until 10k then pulls like a bat out of hell until 16.5k. Mine is experience , I own one. IMO, it wont make a good stunt bike unless is has a sprocket the size of the rim on it.

edit**
636 is much better , not a dog at slow speeds. Ive ridden both.

 

my zx6 07 is the nuts. got +10 gearing on it and it rides like a dream.

 

heres mine, best stoppie bike EVER!!!! and everything else sucks!!! i had a +60 and still never felt right no torque NO *****!!! traded it bike for bike with an 05 and had tons of electric problems! and just bought a minty 04 which i had for 2 years no problem at all!!!! BEST STUNT BIKE EVER = 04 636!!!

 

is that supposed to be your 04? or am i just confused

cuz that def isnt an 04 lol

 

Your confused......He said he had an 07, didnt like it, got rid of it for a 05, didnt like that either, got rid of it and now has an 04.....He posted a pic of his 07 that he "HAD"...

 

oh ok, i just figured since he said he hated the 07, and the 05 had problems, and he said he loved his 04 it just didnt make sense to me why he would post the 07 but whatever im tired brains not working

 

Yo sdfskillz where do you ride? I am from Fort Ann do you know Kelly and ninja? I think I rode with you one day last summer but we need to get a bunch of us together when this snow goes away.

 

thanks for the knowledge guys. maybe i'll just stick with what i have. but it would be pimp to stunt an 07.

 

I got an 04 and 07. My 07 is stock so there is really no comparison, I plan to lot stunt it after the 04 is toast. But for now its just for transportation and highway wheelies. I think once its set up it would be fine.
