I have never dumped the clutch. Been racing long enough to know better than that. That's OK, that was 3 years ago, the car has long since been sold. Gone on to much faster things since then, I now run about 9.90 with my current ride........

if your taking about your bike thats apples and oranges my 636 is a blast on windy roads
but to me theres nothing like taking a corner so fast that all 4 wheels are sliding
and im talking 10" wide tires a bike just doesn't have that felling
No, you're right, it doesn't have that feeling. To me that feeling was never welcome, it was kind of the same feeling as falling, and so I never got into road racing or drifting with cars. Though I do love drag racing and that's probably all I'll ever do. I don't care much for amusement parks either. But for some reason or another being on a bike is the best feeling. There's nothing quite like being able to pass the car ahead with a simple flick of the wrist..... I'm very familiar with the 636s, it's a fun bike. Probably could toast my 15 year old suspension in the corners. I don't push hard in the corners, too many of my friends have been hurt that way, but my bike is 2nd only to the ZX-11 for sheer speed.

Must have a couple mods if you're getting 115 on the ground. I thought they only got about 110 stock on the crank. Mine puts 131 on the ground, and thats with a pipe and an adjustable ignitor box. Its kind of like an early version of a Power Commander.
The 636 would be my weapon of choice if I were in the market for a new bike. Too bad it's been replaced, and I don't care for the new bikes looks, personally. Everybody rides an R6 or an R1, I'd want to be different..... Although my FZR 1000 is a direct ancestor of the R1. If I were going to go all out, I would get a Hayabusa. The ZX-14 looks nice, but the Hayabusa is a proven platform for mods. And I love the Suzuki gearbox, best shifting ever. What do you think of the 636's shifting. I found if a bit stiff on the '04 I rode briefly. The FZR is very slick shifting, for a 15 year old bike.
Guess we highjacked this thread.......

yea i was kinda sad to see 636 replaced with junk the 05 zx6rr is faster then the new zx6r
i loved every thing about my bike except the trans 1k on a new bike and a clutch pack bolt
back out and destroyed the trans they replaced it after a big fight and 4 mouths of waiting
only to injoy 2th gear miss shifts sucks
my 636 mods full m4 race exhaust power commander and dyno tuned and i found out that
rotating the shift lever 180deg gets rid of the 2th gear miss shift
2nd gear problems, a Kawasaki tradition. You should get that fixed before you end up having to live with it forever. And it makes it harder to sell the bike. If you rotated the shifter 180, that means your running race shift, right? I'm running that on mine too. Much more positive action going down than up, for sure. Took a little getting used to, though. Nice bike, rare to see a white one. Mine is red white and blue, old school Yamaha colors. I'll post a pic when I get some, haven't taken one yet.
