my buddy is tryin to swap the 05-06 front-end onto his 04 636. he is trying to use the 05-06 tripple and clip-ons and he says the stem through the frame does not appear long enough to thread the mainstem nut on. anybody know if there is a trick to this?

i kept and flipped my 03-04 tripple and clip-ons when i swapped to the 05-06 forks/fender/rotors and i had zero problems but he doesnt want to do that. he wants to use the 05-06 tripple and clip-ons not flipped.

thanks in advance

the swap should work the only difference i know of is the diameter of the stem itself is smaller than the 03 04


it should be the same

old man roger

use the 03 04 tripple ....

if he doesnt have one then maybe he could take the top spanner off to make a little more room for the shorter stem ...

yeah i dont know. like i said, i used the 03 tripple and clip-ons fliped so i dont know what to tell him.

anybody else have any input?

old man roger

i think the stem is shorter not thinner but i may be wrong

thats what i was thinkin. ill tell him about the spanner but i think he just needs to use the 03-04 tripple like the rest of us.

old man roger

thats what i would do , he could probably use the top off the 05 06

Rodger..thanks for the help man....I will just use the 04 lower triple then it should work fine....this whole conversion is kicking my ***, lol...

the stem is shorter i know if you use a zx10r front end lower tree you have to change the stem out it might be the same for the 636 05/06
