Kawi frame bracing......

Re: Kawi frame bracing......

I think KrazyKyleStyle did this. It's the sickest reinforcement of the 636 motor mounts I have ever seen. I broke mine as well but what I believe was the culprit in mine being broke was the FI cage.

Yea that you would have to be very careful to not warp the frame with all that heat. You know who KrazyKyleStyle is? He used to be on here a lot but now he is mostly on StuntRide. Glad to help ya bro.

Re: Kawi frame bracing......

i been mouse traping and high siding my 03 since the end of 05 and havent cracked a frame yet , loose motor mount bolts are the most common cause and the two rear motor mounts are just as important as the front
