Re: 636 safety sleeve (fork) and seal replacement
I thought the 05'-06' front ends were solid and true? they snappin too now?...the front end was the main reason i wanted an 05' 636 but if they all need the service might as well save the extra money and get an 03'...

Re: 636 safety sleeve (fork) and seal replacement
i thought he wass talking about the forks leaking around the bottom not the seals ...or at least thats what i was talking about
if your seals are leaking then yes get bill to replace them while he has the forks apart but if they are leaking around the bottom then they are not safe to ride on and you should let bill know that

Re: 636 safety sleeve (fork) and seal replacement
Wow so it seems these damn forks are super long with thin sleeve walls. Well this seems like a good fix or at the least added protection. Im guessing the sleeve is screwed into the lower end of the forks?? So he unscrews the old sleeve and inserts this longer length sleeve with a thicker wall?? Is it possible to purchase just the new sleeve and do the work myself?? Or perhaps just send the lower end of the fork, slider, axle and sleeve with no oil. This would reduce weight for shipping.
Nice work Bill. You sound like a true innovator for the sport.

Re: 636 safety sleeve (fork) and seal replacement
im pretty sure he said he would replace seals while doing the mod if you let him know they need it ,i don't remember the additional price but it was cheap as hell because he would already have the fork apart

Re: 636 safety sleeve (fork) and seal replacement
i think the part bill adds is pressed in to the chrome tube so you probably could just send him that but most people don't know how to take there forks apart and put them back together , and bill may not want to do it that way he knows every thing is done right ..you could ask him![shruggs](https://www.stuntlife.com/forums/images/smilies/nixweiss.gif)
![shruggs](https://www.stuntlife.com/forums/images/smilies/nixweiss.gif)
What about the threaded part?? Isnt he just replacing the current sleeve with a better one? Whoever aggreed to put these long ***, thin wall forks on the 03-04 and maybe 05-06 kawi's needs to be shot and stabbed. I cant believe their isnt a recall on these damn things yet. Has anyone looked into getting these things recalled. Some non stunter is going to brake hard because someone cut them off and have their forks snaps!!!
