Different 636's compare?
 

Well like everyone else Ima take that jump back to kawi.....

I been looking at a lot of different 636's and kinda wondered for the guys that have been or might just know.

Are there any specific up/downs of certain year 636's? i mean are there benefits to getting 03/04 vice 05/06?

Re: Different 636's compare?
 

damn really no one has any input?

Re: Different 636's compare?
 

My Input: The search function.

Re: Different 636's compare?
 

Yeah did that...time and time and time again...otherwise i wouldnt have posted.

hella smartasses on here

Re: Different 636's compare?
 

personally i think the 03-04 is easier to find parts for.. especially stunt parts. If ya break somethin its easy to find what ya need. i liked mine.:yeah

Get a 03-04

Re: Different 636's compare?
 

Hmm def good food for thought thanks. anyone else?

Re: Different 636's compare?
 

another thing i didnt throw out there that ya prolly already know is that 03-04 is a less expensive bike compared to the 05-06

Re: Different 636's compare?
 

if you can get 03-4 636,then get it and swap swingarm from 05-6 on that 03-4 and you have a fucking beast.

Re: Different 636's compare?
 

03/04 front ends have problems - ive seen 2 snap in front of me..

thats just some input of a person who doesnt own one! figured it try to help and not tell you to use the search button that doesnt work for shit

Re: Different 636's compare?
 

Yeah 03 04 forks suck but its a easy swap just buy 05 06 forks and rotors and you are set.

Re: Different 636's compare?
 

good shyt guys thanks for actually givin the input too...what else you got....sounds like its best to just spend the extra and swoop the 05/06

Re: Different 636's compare?
 

05/06 looks sick IMO
one of my favorite looking bikes.

Re: Different 636's compare?
 

down fall with the 05/06 is the subframe is weak. also two peice tank on 05/06 i believe. a hybrid mix of 03/04 and 05/06 or even front end off a 07/08 would be a sweet bike.

ive seen a few 03s with a newer front end and brakes and swingarm that seems to me to be a good set up there.

Re: Different 636's compare?
 

seems easier to just get the 05/06 though. less work for the lazy lol

+1 on the looks though

I like my 03-04 :shruggs Get what ever you find the best deal on... Swaping the forks is not that big of a deal The swing amr kinda is but you do not HAVE to do that..

Re: Different 636's compare?
 

had the 04 just got the 06 and i love it..............would never go back...things a horse on idle......barely needs gearing

Re: Different 636's compare?
 

03/04 are tiny.
but you could buy an 03 04
put a 05+ front end
05+ swingarm/shock
05+ wheels/rotors

and then it would be alright. :lol

Re: Different 636's compare?
 

so wotz the difference between the b1h and teh c1/c2h forks...wot makes them better...:shruggs
sorry not a thread jack :whoopass:but i c it all the time and just need some clarification lol :cheers m sure m not the only one in that case:LOL

Re: Different 636's compare?
 

yeah and why the swingarm swap?

ones made by showa and ones made by kyb

Re: Different 636's compare?
 

I've had several of the various years mentioned. I think the 05-06 is the way to go. My only hate is the tank.
Everything about the 05-06 is better IMO. Nobody will be able to give a legitimate reason not to get the 05-06 other thank a weak subframe (which i've scraped my exhaust to hell and back with no issues)

Re: Different 636's compare?
 

All i know is the 03 04 forks will snap... Lol i dont know why but i know they do.. (I know i am no help Lol) i have no clue about the swing arm? and would also like to know about that.

I had 2 03's and never had a issue :shruggs
Also, what is a 05-06 swingarm gonna do on a 03-04 other than look better.

Re: Different 636's compare?
 

are the 0304s have carburetors

Re: Different 636's compare?
 

[QUOTE=gix*4L;3901484]are the 0304s have carburetors[/QUOTE]

The forks are week... I have not had mine break but i know a guy who runs 03-04 forks that has broken them a few times then a guy that did the swap to 05-06 and has broken none... Im staying with 03-04 for now (Bikes not set up yet) But will let you know if mine ever break :LOL and on the swing arm i have no clue thats what i was wanting to know..

[quote=-SKETCHY-;3901489]yes, 10 of them[/quote]

Mine has 11 i got some upgradez

Re: Different 636's compare?
 

nice you know what i meant

Re: Different 636's compare?
 

edit:

actually. get the 05-06 if you won't be beating the hell out of it. The 03-04 can take more abuse. But the 05-06 is a better bike. I think the 636's all together feel really small, and I know your a bigger guy. Might have some problems jumpin to hc an such

Re: Different 636's compare?
 

I've owned (3) 03'-04's and (1) 06'. The 06 felt big, bulky, & heavy to me + seemed to have a higher balance point. It's not heavier, just feels that way. Also the front fairing seemed like it went on forever. lol
Other than looks the 05'-06' swingarm it doesn't really do anything except maybe put the balance point a tad higher.
03'-04' subframe is way easier to access, remove fairing, tail light, etc. Plus it's stronger.
03'-04' tank is easier to pop up & remove.

05'-06' may have better forks, I've only heard of a couple 03'-04's snappin out of how many thousands of these bike are on the road and track. The 04' I just sold had 21k on the clock with no issues. My next 636 (03'-04') will I upgrade to the 05'-06' forks, you bet, but I wouldn't pick one over the other just because of the forks.

I personally like the look of the 03'-04' over the 05'-06', but if you like the 05'-06', cool.

This has been my experience with both, but there's guys rocking every bike out, just need to pick the one you like.

Re: Different 636's compare?
 

the 05/05 swingarm on the 03/04 gives it a higher BP

Re: Different 636's compare?
 

I like my 05/06. But I have never riding the 03/04. Yet a lot of pros and up and coming guys I ride with down here are going to the 03/04 or already have them and love them.
I bought tony Prez 05/06 and now hes on a 03/04. Old Man Roger is on a 03/04 so is Dustin/ Secret Weapon and a shit load of guys that are starting to come up have switched to them as well. I don't know whats so much better then the 05/06? I am gonna start asking tonight at the spot. I feel like im missing out on something...:banghead

[QUOTE=joe98;3901648]the 05/05 swingarm on the 03/04 gives it a higher BP[/QUOTE]

so why would you want that?

my old 05 600rr had a really high BP, made 12's easy but everything else a bit harder, i didnt like having the really high BP.

Is it stronger or something?

jared i already told you what to do, but... the 03/04 feels like a freestyle bmx, the 05/06 is like a mountain bike, and not the hella expensive ones but maybe the mid level ones though
