if you are not changing it looking for an edge, just get a hold of bill at full throttle inc he makes new machined lower legs that are thicker metal than the original paper thin lower legs and then you will be broken fork leg worry free!!! I think it costs a few hundred.

on another note I know a 05 zx10 front end works too, but you have to press your 03/04 stem into the 05 zx lower triple, and then you can use your stock top triple and everything else from the 10 front. the 10 front is quite a bit shorter and PITCHES up on stoppies kinda freaky. like it's not coming up at all and then YANK!!!!!

i was gonna do that but word on the street is bill no longer does the fork mod...

Re: 636 front end problems
 

Full Throttle no longer does the sleeves. I wouldn't worry about the fork snapping problem. Think of all the people riding and how many people have actually had a problem. I think it's like getting struck by lightning, it doesn't happen all that often. If you do want to change them though you will need the 05-06 rotors and a 05-06 front fender everthing else is interchangeable.

Re: 636 front end problems
 

full throttle found a solution to fix the 636 forks, problem is, i think he's gonna stop doing the solution because nobody wants to pay for the service.....yet another instance where stunt riders don't care about saftey lol

Re: 636 front end problems
 

Do what i did Kyle and take whatever front end you like and make it work!!!! Not exspensive at all!!!

Re: 636 front end problems
 

I've heard he's fucked up some forks to. Not on this site because nobody would say it but i have heard that. And Im not sure about the ho hey ?, I put 05-06 for on my 04 and only switched out the forks, rotors, and fender. It took about 45min.

Re: 636 front end problems

Re: 636 front end problems
 

if you get 05-06 all you need to do is put the fork tubes on 05-06 rotors and your good to go hope that helps

just leave ur forks stock till u wanna bomb 500+ feet ull be fine i have the stock ones no joke and i did on my other 04 when i started stunting and never had a problem, just maintain ur shit and ull be fine really!!! :2cents

Re: 636 front end problems
 

Wasnt the issue a maintenance issue?

And didn't a couple people snap their 05/06 forks as well?

I don't know. I've seen plenty of people rock over 400-500 foot endos on stock 03/04 front ends without any issue. And I've heard about less than like 7 people say they've snapped them.
