hi my name is Mike Jensen I'm 26 years
old I'm a professional stunt rider out
of Denmark this year I'm on a new bike
I'm on a Kawasaki 636 with a support
from Kawasaki Denmark I previously wrote
the notorious f4 I the CBR 600 f4 I and
I felt it was time for an upgrade after
seven years on the old afri I felt like
the bible's therefore I was holding me
back for the competition scene have
changed over the past few years so we
need more power and more durability in
the bikes and I felt like the 636 was a
worthy upgrade over my my CBR
given the fact that the f4 is 15 years
old
modern technology just made the new
bikes much more functional towards our
stunt riding and there's more
capabilities with the faster engine and
the upgraded suspension over the old
school conventional fork setup it was
not like there was any given trick
that's not possible therefore it's more
like everything would be easier with the
right equipment like it's you always
want to have the right equipment so it's
just an upgrade for myself and to keep
the entertainment on a personal level at
the max
[Applause]
yeah before my change to the 636 I had a
lot of second thoughts I was very
nervous about changing the bike as I
knew I would have to put a lot of down
time and a lot of grind work into
reaching the the level I had on
therefore I but you know you got to take
the step at some point and I felt like
the beginning of this season 2019 was a
good timing my current level on the
Kawasaki compared to what I had last
year would be like it's similar but I
still feel like I need some time to get
used to the bye guys I of course I'm
used to the bike but to get like the in
depth feeling of the bike and I need a
few hours more but yeah it's like 95%
comfortable for me I don't have any like
nerves going on the bike anymore given
the fact that this is a high performance
600 cc bike there's some limitations
from the factory these bikes come super
lightweight so everything is made from
thin material so upgrading the frame
reinforcing the subframe of the swingarm
reinforcing the wheels and the triple
trees are like these are must have some
the new modern bikes and these were not
necessities on the Fri as it came like
it like a tank ready for war straight
out of the factory engine wise I kept
everything stock to prevent every any
overload of course it upgraded the
cooling system with an additional fan
and very soon there'll be an oil cooler
as well this is just to keep the
longevity of the engine as I want to
build my bike
everything else breaks so I will
surround the engine with solid parts and
prevented it well so I went on with a
half frame of this bike from badass
industries and the reason why I went
with a half frame simply because of the
delivery time on the frame the full
frame had a long delivery time like
additional half a year and I could I
couldn't wait this long for my next
build I will probably be riding a full
steel frame as I want to bike that's
super solid and the additional weight of
the steel rear half is not gonna cause
any problems this wing arm is reinforced
inside and outside with plates and
inside there's like three tubing's
to prevent the bike or the swing arm
from collapsing when you whip it or you
can't guru the bikes as the previously
mentioned the swing arms are very thin
so they tend to have a problem with
wobbling getting out of shape and you
definitely don't want this going on the
on the track with the best riders
[Music]
a good upgrade for the bike would be
changing the stock 8-millimeter adjust
the roads for a ten millimeter which
obviously be stronger I had some
problems when we do the kangaroo stop is
to vent these bolts and they get you
know out of shape and this would just
mess up the whole chain adjustment setup
I have some these shoes getting back on
the 360 kangaroo as I would break the
swingarm every time I tried it it took
some time a couple of swing ups after we
got the the reinforced one I've been
able to recover pretty fast with the be
better forward setup it's definitely
coming fast and safely back yeah so like
the swing arm and the main frame I
upgraded the subframe as well to a fully
CNC subframe this being a very
lightweight version very rigid and it's
in my opinion better looking than a
turbulence a frame as she would normally
do as my previous bike the CBR I run two
calibers from an r6 connected with the
old school junction valve just to keep
it gangster I'm not a big fan of the
three caliber setup and this will give
you the same amount of brake power so
you have to both of them are working on
the handbrake and the top one is working
on the foot brake in my opinion it's
never gonna be a problem as there's no
no real need for the ability to push the
brakes at the same time you need to
learn some sort of timing when you
release one brake to another but this is
a small detail and for the upgrades to
me this is an upgrade over the three
caliber so I would prefer this everyday
the look is much more clean and it's a
obviously lightweight
[Music]
Mangan Del Mar guy I used to ride the
stock exhaust as we got a noise
restriction law and not permitting us to
put the short cams for the track like
here I prefer the RSC exhaust it has a
inner core which makes a lot of back
pressure so we still got a decent amount
of torque compared to just a fully open
muffler and this will at the end of the
day will give you a much more like idle
power and this is definitely something
we want as we're very reliable or the
idle to be consistent that's wrong mr.
Mohit the prat thing just really have
any for me I didn't put it as a purpose
I just wanted a better look in their box
so it's not like I tested it or anything
I don't have any numbers to refer to I
just like the look of the golden airbox
compared to a boring black one the front
brake system is like set up to match my
specs I wanted to make the braking power
of my Fri with with a set of 2008 brake
calipers SPS brake discs from Denmark
and the best break form in the world dia
casado brake master cylinder
[Music]
regarding the chain and this Parkin
setup and I would like to give this as a
free advice I would suggest every anyone
to get a 525 set up over d520 I had the
bike for around two weeks and I broke
the chain in the sprocket at the same
time so upgrading for a stronger set up
would mean longevity and you know your
security at the track usually I would
like to have a strong front fender but
given the time that I hit a a ship
yester the past week with my bike during
the video shoot I'm here with a broken
fender and this is gonna cause some
problems doing Watchtower but yeah I'm
gonna trust the defender to last
hopefully for my run this year checks
done days 2019 I will be adding a few
miscellaneous tricks like a shuffle 360
in there and some more adventures bunny
hops and NASCAR circles at higher speed
[Music]
okay so this is a checks done May 2019
we're all here we all prepared well
we're ready for battle
everyone who's taking part here should
be super proud of themselves as this is
the biggest unwrapping event of the
world and the level is super good and
yeah it's a pleasure to be here and take
part for another year
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
you
