  • common issues with 2001 katana 600

    I just finished the MSF course today and will be looking at a 2001 Katana 600 later on today. The bike has 13k miles and I was wondering what are some common issues to look for on this bike before purchasing?

    Nothing really other than the basics of running right, and looking for PO stupidity on customizations that aren't well done or safe. If it's all stock, and runs good... your good to go. Generally speaking.

    Good tires, good chain, so on... that's for any bike purchase.

      They are great - but just watch for leaks around the stator gasket - I had to replace mine fairly quickly at about the same mileage - always keep an eye on the oil, period!
