Yes the kits are great, if you call in your order talk to Brian, give him your bike info and he will cut your chain to the proper length for you.

Have you seen the gold chains, there sweet on the bike.

Too much bottem end and an uncontrolled throttle hand can spit you off the ride quicker than you can say Sh*t. Gearing for riding is important, ie majority of sweepers or tight turns for your powerband and traction limits.

My R1 would but not sure about a 636. If you get the kit that is the same size as your stock gearing you can play with it, try -1 front and then -1+2 and be able to pick what you like.

I will say again though -1+2, some riding skill and you will be untouchable off the corner. There are a few other factors there butit will give you unreal power.

imo gear changes are the best bang for your buck modifacation you will eever make toyour bike.

you will still hit 160 in top gear with -1/+2 gearing. i have a speedo healer on my bike and got 162 @ rev limit. don't forget, our speedos are off when they come from the factory so don't believe that your going anything over 164!

Good point ^ ^ ^

Very easy to install and program. There is acalculator where you can input your bikes original gearing, then your new gearing and it gives you the proper set up.
