Re: Kawi frame bracing......

I still don't know why everyone is having frame issues with 636's. I beat the **** outta mine and have 4 seasons on it. I jump this thing off my trailer and everything. Unless you're pitching the bike every day hard on the cage and mouse trapping it all the time.....
Maybe I'm just lucky. LOL

Re: Kawi frame bracing......

I have done a few of these now. I done hanksy bike (White 636) with 07 R1 forks in this thread.
Here are some pics of the bike im building at the mo. I find this works great and stops the cracking around the engine mounts/head stock.

There is a plate on the underside too which ya cant see in thes pics.

Chrome plating reduces the strength of the host material by up to 15%. So I would warn against it for your frame...

Re: Kawi frame bracing......

So guess what I get to do, I either get to tear my bike down and get my motor mount welded again or do a frame swap, awesome huh? Still rather deal with this then ride another f4i.

Re: Kawi frame bracing......

No it was broke before I bought it, A cage got pushed thru the motor mount cuz it was Ridin with no bolt in the cage before I got the bike. I fixed it but it's cracking again so ****..... No worries tho cuz I just bought a spare frame.
