Well, because I've done wrong in my life karma catches up to me at will. For example. I manage to find the worlds best super deal. I picked up an 04 636 with 2,500 miles on it for 2,200. Just because it's fun to toss a man on the ground before you kick him, I loved this bike. The motor was perfect, ran like a dream. Until I highsided a tank circle and found yet another loophole in physics. I blew the cam chain tensioner out the block and took some of the head with it. Few hours later the motor for next years contest bike is in this frame, the one I was going to sell the day I broke the motor. So I'll swap on a new head and pray that I don't anger the Kawasaki gods again. Pics for reference to what you never want to have happen to you.












And this shitbox may or may not be in Florida.

 

Thats pretty gnarly.

Nice rims.

 

just bring that extra motor incase you decide to do that to my motor

i still have trust in you nick

 

Haha I think it was 1 in 349038420 that something such as that can happen. But I'll toss one in carry on just in case!

 

Nick did you lose the cam chain? It looks like it's still on the motor intact... have you spun it over to see if theres any contact?

glad you got that **** fixed, that was a hella freak accident.

here's my pic.. pretty much the same one you got

 

damn Nick.... that sucks!!!

thats a kawasuki for you though....

 

Damn, thats scary. If that happens to me I probly won't get any stunting done for a LONG time.

 

The chain is just fine but I do think something skipped a beat because its super tight. I'm going to pull the head tomorrow night at the shop and see how the bottom end looks. Such a shame, that motor was a beast. Has anyone else kicked a tensioner out of a head? There wasn't contact with that part of the motor or anything that would suggest this should ever happen. I think there must have been a factory defect, it wasn't that hard of a crash, not light, but FAR from head fracturing hard.

 

Well one side of that chain should be tight, but i dont think the side that the tensioner is on. (slackside IIRC)

otherwise it had to have just been the shock of the crash on a weak casting. that **** was nuts!

We're hittin VV tomorrow round noon. mount up!

 

yeah i saw that when i met y2kmk **** looked knarly sucks cause i figured id see you again last weekend and then i got the news sorry to hear it happened

 

yea wassup niggy nice meetin you. sorry we didn't get to kick it, nobody wanted to come pick me up and gimee a ride to the spot! bastards!

I dented my tank in some more and rattle canned it.. i think that clutch adjuster fixed my **** too :YEAH

 

Wow thats gnarly, never heard of that happening before.

 

Man that sucks! I hate to hear that. Hit me up if theres anything you need.
Oh yeah and i lost my phone so hit me up threw here or myspace. Cause it might be awile be4 i get one. And let me know about the trip here.

 

Trader!!

 

shoulda bought a honda


thats knarly...

but i must say that is a nice shop ya got there...

 

when i hear kawasaki i think quality!

sorry nick but your f4i would have never done you like that....and besides ninjas use swords not axes.

 

thats crazy, never seen that **** before, seems like something skipped and got really tight somehow. thats my 2cents

 

After I go and drag that thing all the way from the East Coast to Vegas for you and you do this to her?!?!?!?! HAHAHAHAHA... but WOW, sorry to hear/see it bro! glad you have the resources to get back in the game quick like!

 

Do you have T-Mobile, I have a sidekick2 I'll give you. If so PM or myspace your address and I'll send it out asap.

And the honda comments....
First thing I thought was man my old F4i would have never done this, then as I pushed my 636 up into my truck I thought about how I would rather push that ***** into the shop, swap a motor that night, spend the cash, replace a head, install a new motor, break knuckles, bleed out 2 pints of blood, than EVER ride an F4i again! They're good bikes, but we're not on speaking terms these days.

 

o ya did you find any loose bolts when you pulled the motor?
