Legend,Terrific looking bike. So many little things evident here.
1. Slightly higher and much more comfortable bars.
2. Flatter and less forward sloping seats
3. Much lower buddy seat so the passenger won't look like they're sitting on an egg crate.
4. That stubby rear fender will keep things much cleaner in the area. I've polished many swingarms only to have them sand blasted by the rear tire.
5. Bolted rear frame section instead of welded making replacement possible.
Looks like a keeper, to me.

Hello, i have a question, I drive with the same bike and also want to install an akrapovic can. My question is: Did you feel the diference in power with the can and what improvements did it make to your bike?
Is the acceleration better, does it improve your topspeed, and how much hp do you have now?

I think the biggest thing you'll find is the way it FEELS.
It just feels like it revs out a LOT easier. I couldn't believe how STIFLED my last ZX6R felt when I bolted the stock can back on to trade it in, felt like it was struggling to rev.
I didn't need a dyno test to tell me that it didn't feel like it was breathing as well. Almost like a smoker after 10 hardened years chain smoking.
Oh yeah, and it sounded crap too... heh.
We're not talking WORLDS of increased power here remember, sometimes only 2-3hp or so at peak, but you will ABSOLUTELY notice the WAY the bike reaches peak power.

Does the 636 feel a lot different to your last zx6? Just asking because I have been out on my first big bike today, an 1998 zx6r and I still can't get the grin off my face!
I am already planning to upgrade to the 636 but I would be interested to hear your thoughts?

Not sure if you were asking me or one of the other guys or everybody in general, but I can't speak for the power difference yet, because there's still snow on the lawns here, riding weather might not come for a month yet (sigh)...
But the ergonomics are sure different than the '98 I had. Much more aggressive, forward riding position, and the bike is some 30 pounds lighter and with lower center of gravity. It feels a lot racier.
I'll let you know about power differences, hopefully within a few weeks.

Guess I was asking anyone really! I am curious if anybody has noticed a huge difference in power, not just in riding position?

This is for FAST ZX636r,the akraprovic can has done an amazing job,it runs better,sounds like a friggin v twin(very nice sound,very deep rumble),looks better to the eye and lets the bike breath like it was made too,bike is faster on acceleration and top end is better.

It gets cleaned everytime i come back from a ride so it will always be shiney,i also use AUTOMOTIVE silicon polish,it's about £8 a can but it brings it up looking like new,you can use it on all parts of the bike apart from brakes(obviously),and i dont ride it if it's raining,this bike is for dry roads,can't wait till the summer[].
