Re: 636 to F4i???????

i went from a 636 to a f4i. the thing i hate about the f4i is the suspension, torque (compared to the 636). The thing is a tank though and can take crashes that would have broken **** on my 636. One of my 636's the frame cracked, I always broke rearsets, and the motors are noisy. The kawi was alot easier to work on, especially snatching the tank off, on the f4i you have fuel pissing all over the place when you remove the fuel line going to the regulator. I miss my KAWI

Re: 636 to F4i???????

Idle is supposed to be alot stronger. They're smooth for sure from riding #2s once.. Why you want to switch ?

Re: 636 to F4i???????

if you want a lower balance point and easier bike to stunt, then go to the f4i.

IMO, if youre just learning and cant stunt a f4i, you should just quit. keep it gangsta and get a 600rr if anything!!!!

Re: 636 to F4i???????

hey there halfo! i'm with you i say do it! people hate on it caus its easy to stunt but the damn thing IS a tank! stock yea the 636 is a better bike mainly because of better brakes and stiffer front end... but change those and do there pair mod (which im doing to mine now but cant ride until i finish painting and putting it back together but according to alot of people that mod will make it pull like a freight train on idle! my friend jeremy has an 05-06 636 and every time he gets on my bike he wishes he had his f4i back... and like u said... if you dont like it sell it and ride the 636!

Re: 636 to F4i???????

Im no pro but i started with a 03 636 and my frame cracked on both sides up by the neck so bad i could fit all four fingers in each crack. other than that i loved the bike. i sold it and got an f4i and i like it just as much if not more. but then it also depends on the rider
