  • Just bought a dead Kat

    Hey all...

    Been without a bike since job (and bike) loss in '14. Gainfully employed for a year now and decided to pull the trigger on a ride that ive always wanted, the katana.

    It's an 05 600, blue and white. Only 10 k on the bike but previous owner let it get low on oil, and locked it up (at 5mph luckily).

    Picked it up for $500, worst case I can pick up a salvage yard motor for $350. Gonna pull it apart, see if I can get lucky with a crank and bearings..

    Preve bikes...06 650 ninja, 99 r6 streetfighter (insurance auction), and a lil klx250sf

    Hope to share pics of the build ..and will be looking around here for ideas and inspiration.

    Cool man, good luck. My advice is "if" you need a new engine....get a 2001-2005 Bandit 1200 motor. Minor mods to make it fit, and get a set of 36mm Mikuni RS Carbs. (GSXR750 & 1100 OEM Carbs) Doubles the torque of the bike and really makes it fun to drive!
    Cheers!
