A new 636 frame breaking problem

[Ryan Lanier]

So let me know if u guys have seen this before on a 636, I seem to have a knack for breakin 636s in unique ways. Came down for a circle and pop!!!

Now! the only X factor in all this is that I just tightened up the compression and rebound on the reat shock

I might be able to be braced and welded, and I tightened right before I rode it here at work. GAY!!!

well that might be it then ..lol does it look like the rear shock and linkage has been hitting the ground ?

[Ryan Lanier]

no not really, guess im too damn fat and the frame couldnt take it anymore. sux that I just tightened and snap!
AND!!! I just spent 6 hours fixing everything else and puttin a new gixxer 1k front end on it sunday

i run my setting on full hard but i dont jump my bike that often , if you were bottoming out the rear suspension alot while jumping i would imagine that would hammer that brace pretty bad..

[old man roger]

especially if the rear shock was bad

I run my bike full stiff and the spring is pretty jacked up too and I jump my bike weekly.... 04 636 though
