F.T.S.
Floppy Tank Syndrome....
whos got it...
how do i fix it

naw for real thou, the rubber pads on side of 636 disappeared an it sucks without them. on my f4i it didnt bother me at all... but on my 636 i want the **** to stop moving so i stop ******* up my tank dent on frog to HC..
my dents currently lopsided like durtys head

haha so what have you guys used instead of stop bullshit pads that disappear anyway.. an were can i get some thing?

 

weld your tank to your frame the 636 frame needs all the help it can get in the duribility dipartment bawhahahah

 

zinnnng

 

HAHAHAHA love it


yeah I got a floppy tank also on the new f4i. I'm going to use some weatherstripping from a car I think. did it on the 900 dinosaur back in the day and it worked good. I hate a floppy tank. I get up there for a christ dismount and I'm flopping all over the place swerving looking like a drunk christ.

 

have sum 1 turn you down some tefflon bushing just like the rubber one you had in there. And on the other hand does any1 know if a 03 04 636 tank will bolt up to 05 06 636? sorry for the thread jack

 

sell me that front end dopey. (kyle)

 

i fixed mine by cutting up some old inner tube out of a dirt bike and sticking it in between the tank and the frame

 

haha smart *** scott... last i checked you cant weld aluminum to steel tank LOL i went to hardware store they got nothing that would work...

 

jb weld lots of it......hahahah.......... and yes you can weld steel to aluminum i dont know how but car companies are doin it like bmw and mazda info from autoweek while on the ******* lol.........

 

lol i said to my knowledge... but maybe with some new spaceage technology... or some "jb weld like substance" or

but i know i cant go bust out my tig an weld them together...
one uses AC an one DC current brotha

 

ask mike d were he got the rubber deals he uses..... we ridin tomorrow night ? i dont want to hear a no **** stunter!!!!!!!

 

oh ya fix your cage yet ? dude i saw the jump straight to hair chair **** was gangster

 

thanks broham... ya the cage is still broken... an im riding tonight.
but i got that trusty single zip tie holding it together im a dumkbasss.....

 

take some automotive rubber fuel line or smaller size rubber hose like 1/2" or 3/8" and make a slit down one side, put a few golbs of silicone inside the hose, slap in on bottom crease of tank and Bam DunBun no more wobble outta control tank wheelies

 

I take the the little rubber things inside the sprocket cush and use them... You have to make a little cut through them and make sure the cuts are even... Mines held up for 2 years

 

i did it on my 900rr worked great, and it still works.

 

i use the suzuki gsxr tank pads/spacers

 

just cut a couple of like 1" * 2" pieces out of the sidewall of a spent tire. hose will eventually fall out. the chunks of tire are the only things that i've found will stay put.

 

put some rags on each side of the top of the air box under the tank, it will raise the tank so when u tighten it to the frame it is solid...

 

Never thought of that...........................
