Ill see what I can find for the R1 bearings.

the issue with R1 stuff is just what john said, spacing. you have to use the R1 wheel, rotors AXLE, etc so all your spacings have to be factory R1...hence why you must use R1 triples.

yupper.

thats exactly what i plan on doing if thats true. anyone know for sure? i know the 03 front wheel fits the 07 front end, i read that in another post

T-NECK

refer to above post.

Damnit!!! someone have a 07 front end for sale. I already broke the 04 forks, I dont wanna break the 06's

MeAk

the measurements that matter are more the top and mid of fork diameter to see if they fit the triples and yea the length is some what important also not just stem length of the triples but diameter aswell and the demention of the races. if the outside diameter is the same and the stem lengths will work then u can swap out races and bearing and make any frontend work that is roughly the same length and 1" isn't **** u drop mere then tahat by ridin with clip-ons over the triple \

lol ok i just read the last page someone else caught on to the fact that its not just all about simple 50mm and blah blah measurements and my 2 cents is the easy way is to get a complete frontend forks.triple,wheel,to mount up only way to do that is get the triple to fit up i.e triple bearing and race sizes are the key who knows mayb lets say 1000rr races in a 636 could alow for r1 front end to mount up or gsxr750 upper races and bearing and f4i lowers whatever its all in the numbers

Cool, let me know, call me or whatever...

if you can dig up different year R1 and R6 races and send them all to me ill try them all on my spare frame... ill send them all back when we figure out what works :YEAH

T-NECK

well my bike is torn down right now anyways so if i find any lying around the shop ill pop em in and see what i can find out.

I can find the cheapest forks on website but am not tellin you guys first before i get sumthin first

John LegionST

Sounds good bro, let me know what you find out! once i know what races fit ill start getting front ends to try



We're all in this together bro, i dont want to see another fellow stunt rider eat it cause of broken forks! Let's work together to figure out the easiest solution to this problem then help each other find good deals on whatever it is!

fatboystuntz

who gives a **** about a good deal..
i would pay 1000 bux to put a front end thats gonna perform well and not break, at this point its not about being cheap...at least for me

I think another cause is that people are driving with badly aligned forks. Ones crashed the forks are not in line with each other. Still both are bolted to same front axl. When the forks now compress fully during endo, it causes lot of forces to the fork bottoms. Also miss alignment causes fork bushings to go. Make sure the front is aligned! you can check it by putting some straight bar over the tyre so it contacts both forks, then put another straight bar to the top nuts. then visible check if the forks are aligned! if not, loosen bolts and straighten it out, it usually just twisted from the triples.(steering lock is at the lower triple and handle bars are at the top, so everytime the handlebar hits the ground, the forks get miss aligned.

older forks can be more miss aligned as they are so bendy. these new short light and stiff ones cannot it. but i'm not sure can they handle it even if they would be aligned properly. I'm just saying that if they are not, they have a hard time.

Dude , I do give a **** cuz i m jobless lol.

I ll give ya a hint ..it starts with D

glingglo

i have been on my 03 forks for over a year! going to be riding a newer 03 636 that i just bought but does anyone know how long b4 they snap?

Paul

You have 2 months 9 days 6hrs and 51min till your forks snap!

Sorry , I havent had a chance to put r6 forks on my bike , i m gunna try tonight for sure to see how it goes from there.


I need to find out what size is 2007 yamaha r6 race verison forks 48 or 50 mm ?

Division1 Ryan

I boy has some 05 r6 forks, the inverted ones. They are 50mm, Im gonna try them and see what happens. I just need a r6 wheel and spacers

John LegionST

Just remember Ryan, even if the forks DO slide in and fit/tighten down good... he 636 triple might have different spaceing (width) than the R6 setup... so try using different combinations of 636 and R6 Wheels/spacers/ect...

hopefully the axle is the same size... if you cant make that work you might have to take the route i did with the GSXR setup and try R6 races in the 636 frame...

Jaket

why is everybody just looking for USD forks. put some 900rr front it there and it will last a lifetime. also the rim will last a lot longer the 636 front rim
