Re: Master of disaster
This bike had never seen the limiter all but a couple seconds and a couple times. All under load, all on 2 wheels or super power wheelies into endos. And trust me, a 636 can take a revlimiter beating just fine. My other motor has 15 plus shows and lived on the limiter the whole time and she's still kicking strong.

Re: Master of disaster
I was like WTF cuz my **** just lurched and tacked out really high, and I thought I just popped it into neutral... which I had a bad habit of doing at the time cuz I had only ben riding maybe 5 months period, but I looked down and saw a green neutral light, I figured it was OK, so I stomped it down into first and tried again......
wouldn't you?? hahaha Probably wouldv'e ben ok if I hadn't done that cuz that is when **** hit the fan! It broke on my first try and just laid on the ground.... then on the second attempt, my chain bound up in the sprocket, subsequently crackin my case right where the master slave cyl for my clutch mounts up! LOL I still had to pay like $280./mo for it too!! I figured ins who needs it right? haha ...squid... haha
I ****** used JB weld !!:YEAH no leaks, no problem...**** I put like 22,000 hard *** miles on it after that too! Just learned a leson on chain maintenance the hard way I guess... I lived down a mile of gravel and that is what ate up my chain so fast!
There is my christmas story.
Bummer on your bike Nick....I didn't read the whole thread, but sounds messed up.

Re: Master of disaster
what about motor life on the 63's? anyone do alot, i mean ALOT of revlimiter coasters on them? i know the motors seem to be pretty strong for everything else but i just can't stay off the limiter and i don't think they make a pick up for the kawi,do they?

Re: Master of disaster
To be honest I don't think they would take it. I've not pulled a pan yet, I will when I build the next one. But from what I understand the stock pickup is in a decent position.

Re: Master of disaster
2.5 years on them, more shows and comps and STREET murder than i can remember... i have yet to blow a 636 motor... and i dont do anything besides run the oil close to the top of the glass... (im sure now that i said that i will blow one haha)
Stay off the limiter coasters and keep the highway revs under 9K and they will last a very long time... not that hard to do...

Re: Master of disaster
What's in there to catch in the chain? broken tooth?
the bike stayed running, or i'd have thought the same. If the cam chain ground to a halt tho, you'd imagine the motor would as well.
doesn't the chain look ok in this pic? does to me..Last edited by y2kmk; 12-25-2007 at 06:34 PM.
That sucks though Nick, no bueno at all!

Re: Master of disaster
Do you have T-Mobile, I have a sidekick2 I'll give you. If so PM or myspace your address and I'll send it out asap.
And the honda comments....
First thing I thought was man my old F4i would have never done this, then as I pushed my 636 up into my truck I thought about how I would rather push that ***** into the shop, swap a motor that night, spend the cash, replace a head, install a new motor, break knuckles, bleed out 2 pints of blood, than EVER ride an F4i again! They're good bikes, but we're not on speaking terms these days.

Re: Master of disaster
I just joined the 636 club last week... I rode the bike for about 1 min and was 100% sold! I freakin love it! Sooooo much better than my gsxr. Even with stock gearing, stock clutch lever, and no hb I was in love. now that I have added a 10up sprocket, msr and brembo hb its on. I hope I dont have any problems like this!
heres a couple pics of the new hottness:
