Hello from a newbie from south america & already a quest

[mR.s7]

hello there im glad to find this marvellous forum iv e been reading som posts and ar every interesting. =)

I have a Gsx 600 F a Katana from 95.. quite old but i modify her a lot so it looks cool for me..

Well the main reason im here is cause i have a problem and i dont kow who to ask.

Yesterday night mi Katana died after a light (not a nice thing in the middle of nowhere at night with no help). =(

Any way the simptoms where this:
the bike sputtered and died. when i tried to re start again the tachometer was like crazy and died. im very afraid might be cdi.
I checked the battery and it measures 15.3 v when the bike is turned on (2 k revs )

i think this might be a little high dont u think? does any one know what must be the charging reading for this kind of bike?

might it be the rectifier regulator? is it over chargin?.. might it be my cdi?.

i mean the bike is very well cared.. why the cdi might be suddenly damaged..??
any ideas suggestions pls!!

thanks a lot
and forgive my English ill wait tons of answers Kat riders! =)

Welcome to KR and Enjoy the ride.

As for your issue it could be a number of things. Does the bike turn over at all What were you doig right before it died What is the temperature down there right now I know when my bike gets to hot it will shut off and not start back til the engine has cooled down a bit. Like I said it could be a number of things that is causing this issue.

thanks for answering..

you see, i had a Kawasaki with the same problem of getting hot and die.. but it was CDI. now this Katana has not overheating problemas at all. actully as i said it was middle of the night. and i was in a red light.. and suddenly i tried to go and the bike started to sputter and fynally died..

i opened teh cdi but looks fine for me.. but i couldnt tell until i measure the reading..

for that Does anyone know the measurements of a cdi must read?? pls???

that would solve my question-..

thanks again guyz

Welcome to Katriders. Like HS2020 said, your problem could be a lot of different issues. With your tach doing what you said it did, I definitely think it's an electrical problem. You need to post your question in the appropriate category in order to get a propper response to your question. The introduction page isn't necessarily going to give you the answer you're looking for.
Good Luck!!

Post your question(s) in the mechanic's section.
