Will I need to brace my subframe on a 636?

I also want to clear up the different 636's

not too familiar with kawi, im looking for a 636 to buy but some practically look like a sport touring, huge front end, huge windscreen, and then some, like the one that comes in silver with red flames are much smaller and stuntable looking

is there a "r" model or something? are some a zx6 and some not?

jus wanna clear it up before I really start narrowing one, or 2, lol down.

also I know the subframe isnt weak like my gsxr, but should I still reinforce?

not beginning, just want to say that before I get all the comments about I need a piece of **** first, and I also just dont want to stunt a piece of ****, NOBODY stunts around here, Seattle, and the few that do ride trailer trash bent frame pieces of garbage and do reckless **** on city streets with soccermoms and kids watching and give it a bad name, around here if you dont ride the track, u pretty much get hated on as sad as it is.

One more question, where do you stunt? obviously not looking for exact location, but what type of places? really hard to find somewhere in seattle, I know there used to be a stunt team that did it down at DHL shipping company, but they had an in with someone who worked there I think and I think there all like 40yrs old now, everywhere I find a decent p lot its good for a min, but then u gotta skeeeeeet!!!!!!!

A 636 is a 636, but there are ZX6's that are sport touring style bikes. 03 and up 636's are all good stunters, but the 03-04 have weak forks and tend to break cranks when they get bounced off the rev limiter.

03/04 zx6r is a 636 and the zx6rr is a 600cc. both are fine for stunting and dont need the subs reinforced. the 05/06 they changed up the style of the bike but its the same deal as the 03/04 with one being a 636 and the other being a 600. those bikes do need the subframes reinforced or replaced witha steel one. im not real sure how the 07+ zx6r is with their subframes as ive never owned one.

the guys around here with 05 or newer 636's run stock exhaust. something about the can and brackets being the main structural points that keep the subframes from getting trashed too badly.

+1 on the subs being garbage... cant say too much about the 03-04 cause ive only owned 05-06. just sold my 06 and got an 05 i cream my panties for 636s, so comfortable to ride or stunt

yes they made a zx6-rr and a zx6-r, rr is their race version witch i think comes with a different sloped tank... i could be wrong

do most stunt the r or the rr? i guess if the rr is a 600 then no so I answer my own question, nm, so I guess im after the 03-04 636, and is impaktech a good spot for cage, subcage, etc?

False. The mounts for the can are actually on the WEAKEST structural points on the subframe.

I'd suggest doing what I did:
