if your going to get a 03-04 get a steering damper right away. they are the slap happiest of the bunch so get a good damper. The only dampers i use are GPR's they dont keep on slapping, once it starts it stops on the next swing. well happy shopping
Couldn't agree with you more; these bikes (03-04) should have came with one from the factory.

Average about 42 MPG on a 06 636.. Could probably get close to 50 but what's the fun in that??
The stock speedometer is way off and so would be the mileage calculations. It's actually less than that. Mine get's 42 but probably 38 actual just commuting. BUT the Speedo Healer is going to fix all that now!

I recently got the bike, used of course, and the only thing that is aftermarket really is the pipe (Scorpion). He said he had the oil and filter recently done, but you know how that goes... I'll try the RXP and probably get new oil and filter. thnx!

I get around 35 mpg always on the gas and running around 10000 to 12000 rpms. Wheel seems to come up easier at those rpms.

Well, if you keep it on one wheel, you'll get better mileage! lol
