My freind has a 06 ninja 636 and I have the o4 cbr, a couple of days ago we having some fun and were racing, out of the launch i would immediatley pull about 2-4 lenghts average (he doesnt know how to launch the bike), unfortunately i wouldnt keep that lead for long because his bike was alot faster than mine, we are both the same weight, both bikes are stock but he cut his muffler off and has a straight pipe.... he wants to race me again, but unless i change some things, the outcome is going to be the same, he will just blow by me in no time.... what mods can i do in a short amount of time (less than a week) so that he wont blow by me so hard so i can keep my lead. clearly he doesnt know how to drive his bike very well, so the bike beat me, not the driver

I was thinking changing the gears, like putting a 15 sporcket in front, how much will that help?

 

well as far as answering the actual question, the gearing will help you launch but once you get into the power he's still gonna have an advantage

beyond that though if he's not a good rider take it to the twisties or to a track and have some real fun

 

well would a 15 sprocket in the front kill my topend in a 1/8th mile race?


any other modifications needed if i put on a 15 front sprocket?

and could somone provide me a place and part number of a good 15 sporcket, a link would be great

thanks for your help in advance guys

i get all my gearing goods from www.sprocketcenter.com from brian...

your speedo will be off by like 7%...or so...

overall, 636 is just a faster bike period...and has more motor too.

Yea the Kawi is faster and your two years behind to add to it. Try deflating his tire before the race.....Then you'll kick his ***[sm=badbadbad.gif]

 

will the 15 tooth help my 1/8th mile times significantly?

 

yes a minimal amount, but it will give you a little more torque so be a touch harder to keep the front wheel down so u will learn how to launch again after you change your sprockets, what you need to do, is add full exhuast, air filter, stacks, and a pcIII, and get it custom tuned and relearn the bike, then after taht you will have a better chance, yes i know it will cost you some money but like others said you are 2 years behind with a 636 that just basically has more motor power so either put some easy add ons, or get into the motor which is alot more work, or just get a 1000RR.. and take of the stickers haha, good luck

 

Go -1/+2, and you'll be pullin harder than you ever have on that bike. You should be able to hang with him in the 1/8th then, but he'll hit a higher top end. Shouldn't matter in an 1/8th though.
