it wear the sprocket fast, it vibrates on the right side of the bike. It wears out fast on the right side of the tire. the exhaust port somehow got warped. it not as fast as it used to be. Lastly it sounds like it wants to blow up.

SLIDER · 05-25-2008, 11:55 PM

warped exhaust port eh... could be the cause of the vibration, sluggishness, and the want to blow up sound. But the sprockets and tire sounds like something else. Have you checked the output shaft end play on the transmission? That can cause vibration and sprocket wear. How far over is the tire worn? My tire used to wear off center, but what I didn't realize was that I was riding to one side of the bike. Most people do, kinda strange... Did anything break when you went down? Try checking if the tires are aligned by riding through some water and seeing if you're dog tracking. anything else you can think of?

I will check that out. You know what is happening now? Big trouble -white smoke- I think the head gasket is fried. It has puffs of white smoke on occasion. This bike is going to my cousins, he knows how to work on these bikes. We will see what the damage is. Tell you in the next few days

SLIDER · 05-26-2008, 01:21 PM

that's not good.hopefully it's the head gasket and not a cracked cylinder or head. good luck...

Well not only is the exhaust port warped the head is as well. HE says that I can put a new head gasket on but the problem will come right back. I think I am going to sell it for 3000 and get something else

SLIDER · 05-28-2008, 12:22 PM

probably the best idea. save yourself an even bigger headache. sorry to hear that though

SLIDER · 05-28-2008, 05:20 PM

I really like the suzuki line. I like honda too, just not a fan of their non integrated lights and no slipper clutch. Yamaha, I like the look but not very street oriented, no torque. Small chance for yamaha. As for Kaw I am going to steer clear of them, too many probs with their 07-08 6r. Sooo its between Suz and Hon 600's

chinh9 · 05-28-2008, 11:48 PM

Heh I wish I had a picture of Slider and Dumped it kissing and making up. I bet it was a true martha stewart moment

At any rate I have an 06 and it's been nice so far...I haven't even hit any mailboxes with it yet!!

SLIDER · 05-29-2008, 04:40 PM

aaahahaha!!! ditto. you can't really go wrong with either suzuki or honda. both great bikes with different feels. suzuki is thinner and longer. honda is shorter and more upright. I'd say the slipper clutch is a must though.

the_gunslinger · 08-14-2008, 02:37 AM

i'm in love with my '07.

a real 'riders bike'.

Waachback · 08-14-2008, 02:28 PM

2006 636 - More power and faster...

Stupid comment really? As for my bike I got a lemon. You can piss off. doing a stoppie at 160 that is stupid, if you dissagree you are stupid too.

You insult SLIDER of all people on this site!?

You must be fuckin retarded.

Since you are stupid (I said stupid, not ignorant) you must not know that under braking sportbikes transfer almost all weight of the bike on the front tire. The rear tire will sometimes hop under heavy braking at the track before a turn. Tracking your bike is the only way you will learn what you and your bike are capable of. 1 day at the track is like 5 years of riding experience gained. Since you are strictly a street rider why don't you invest in lady's bloomers and buy yourself a pink moped. You got balls to type shit up on a forum and take a crack at one of the most experienced riders on here but no balls to track your bike. You ask for help with your lemon bike and this is how you repay us? To hell with you. Don't ask for anymore "help" with your problems. Learn how to read a fuckin service manual shithead.

***Since you are forgiven*** Kiss SLIDER's

and change his oil for 4 months and you may regain respect from me again.

SLIDER · 08-18-2008, 09:14 PM

that was all just a miss understanding when I first joined the forum. It was actually pretty funny now that I think about it. Dumped was just frustrated that his bike crapped out on him. Can't blame him to be honest. He's seems to be a pretty nice guy. But thanks for the defense ZX6RAY. much appreciated

Crazyninja · 08-19-2008, 02:32 AM

I don't know how good the roads are where you guys are from, but around here you will die trying to ride 160 on our interstates....Potholes and grooves from hell.

Crazyninja · 08-19-2008, 02:33 AM

Not to mention where dump trucks drop little bits of gravel on the highway.
