Sitdown Steve rides a 03/04 as well as Alex Flores..And the 03/04 is a WAY better bike with 05+ brakes/suspension and 2nd gear wont shit out every 6 mos. like the 05/06 as long as you dont clack into gear high idle.\r\n

Transmission is shit on both of them key to saving it is starting bike in gear so u don\'t bang it into first from N\r\n

\nMy second gear was fuuuuuuucked when I got the bike, 8months later, first died from knocking it into gear. Mousetrapped me off. New engine now, and I give it a positive click into first. Need to make it start in gear.
\n
\nBut I heard that was a 03 problem too, as $13 has done 4 like it

\r\n \r\n Paul if I understand correctly they just mean don\'t throw it from neutral into any gear with high idle. That\'s about it.\r\n

\r\n \r\n radiator issue is a simple fix. grind off the nipple and drill/tap run a bolt through. DONE BOOM.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nNever had a transmission issue. Don\'t be an asshole and/or start your bike in gear to.
\r\n
\r\nSubframe is pretty straight as long as you keep stock exhaust. most subs i broke with a yosh can. - if you go aftermarket or low mount, better just call Runman get one like Tolers.
\r\n
\r\nTank is sweet. o town dent with a lip.
\r\n
\r\nimpaktech is solid for this bike but rolls up on the bars. Run either a sick or an a town.
\r\n
\r\nJohnny P upper stay is the only way to go.
\r\n
\r\nTail plastic run a few layers of fiber glass under it to keep it solid.
\r\n
\r\nHeader wrap and a switch to run fan all the time.
\r\n
\r\nget an ohlins and a fork clamp. drill a hole in the middle of the ram air tube of frame and boom best damper set up around.
\r\n
\r\nI made a foot plate and drilled it into the little nubs where the back seat goes in or just get a really nice HT moto build up on the cut out part. Always had issues getting my foot in there but i\'m a giant.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nReally great bikes, but frames are weak like all other kawis.
\r\n
\r\nHad lots of valve problems, and spun bearings, and rod knock. and just all aroun f\'n up motors.
\r\n
\r\nSomewhat miss that bike.. except for the working on it all the time part.\r\n

\r\n \r\n Whats up guys...I also just recently transitioned from my F4i to an 05/06 and I LOVE IT...Unfortunately its looking like reinforcing my frame is going to be necessary at some point so I want to get it done this winter while I still have some downtime. Does anybody have any specs/recommendations for reinforcing the 050/06 frame (motormounts). some specks on exactly what metal I should use to brace it with and also what kind of cut is going to give me the most support and not put stress on other parts of the frame. Also any other tried and true advice you guys have would definitely be appreciated
Thanks guys\r\n

Just get a steel half frame from MOTO DOC...Bracing is usually $200+ and ALWAYS fails.\r\n

\r\n \r\n Believe me, if I could afford any half frame setup I would jump on it in a heart beat but its just not in the cards......I\'m a full time student at the moment and really only get about 20hrs of work in on the side......and trust me, college is not stunt friendly lol...I also can get a pretty decent price if I reinforce it so its going to be the only option i have. I know a couple guys have braced the 05/06 and its held up fine so the information is out there. I know its not ideal but for some people the steel half frame is not in the budget\r\n
