that sounds like a hassle to me

looks like thats from settin wheelies down, if it was from stoppies/burnouts it would be cracking at the top of the frame i would think.

Re: yea another cracked frame ?

i laugh at all of you who think youre safe cuz ur riding something else, ive personally seen 600rr frames crack right at the neck, actually seen one where the neck eventually broke off. seen many f4i frames crack the cross bar as well as the lower engine supports, and r6 frames seen a bunch break the engine mounts, and dont even get me started with gsxrs. no one is immune to frame cracking, and there is no epidemic on any bike. some of you guys are worst than girls.

Re: yea another cracked frame ?

wat kinda cage did you rock on that bike? it looks identical to when i had a 905 cage on my 03, and to make you feel better i bet if you drop your motor that crack is prob going about 3-4 inches in the other direction behind the motor mount....on that frame i ahad my mechainc cut off the motor mount and re-weld anohter one on and it was strong as can me....1000s of super hard hit including my wreck at stuntwars 2 years ago and that was about 60mph right to the pavement and about 3 flips later, no damamge..'

also throw my bike too many times to count with my FI cage including my forks snapping on me at about 50 and not a single hint of a cracked frame...

and like sdkillz said every single bike is vunable to frame brakeage, bike ARE NOT MADE to be stunted so the abuse is gonna show sooner or alter on EVERY made and model of bike...

but if you guys want to think the 636s are trash every1 sell them, means more and cheaper parts for me
