  • Cheap performance enhancements?

    I've got a 1994 Katana, and I was wondering: is there a cheap way to get an increase in power? My first car was a mustang and the first thing any respectable mustang owner does is swap out the headers (especially on older models). Is there someone similar for Kats? I remember one of the threads someone said that Kats have some very basic cams which limit their intake
    Some people are primarily positive, others negative. Some argue about whether the glass is half full or half empty. Me? I drink the contents and call it empty.

    ok, first thing to do is search. I'd follow that with ignition advancer, grind out header welds, ivan's jet kit, GSX-R cams, and read everything on CP's site

    And until we meet again,
    May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

            Oops

            "Only for Kats made PRIOR to 1998" is what I thought I had read.

                90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

                  The cheapest way to make your bike faster is to become a better rider.

                    If you do some research you will find there were NO Kats for the US between 83 & 88.
