  • Returning Kat Owner

    Hello, I had 2 project katanas a awhile ago. I was here 2012-2013 but disappeared for awhile.

    post buildup: http://katriders.com/vb/showthread.php?t=124033

    I moved to Florida January 2013, took my Pre with me, sold it about8 months ago and bought a project BMW car to restore. I was working on getting my life back on track after moving 1300 miles away and starting a new job.

    Fortunately I've been able to get back up, and I was able to buy a 2001 Katana today! Has carb issues but so did the other 2 katanas I had so nothing new there

    Really cool to be back with Katriders, it's just not fun to look at other people enjoying their bikes when you know you couldn't get one at that time I'll be lurking around more

    Bike has 4400 miles, paid $1600 for it. Has a couple decent upgrades already (non-engine) HID headlights, underglow, quick-connect pre-wired battery tender. I'm very happy for the price and condition that it's in

                    If F stands for fuel then everything is okay. There was oil/gas in the air box and it was dripping out of the cylinder boots. Good sign the o-rings in the carbs are shot from sitting. Probably going to add oil then run it for a bit and change oil/filter again to get rid of the fuel

                    If the original tires were "MACADAM" brand, then yes, they are the factory tires lol. I'll put some continentals on it before too long. Paint/powder coat the wheels and rear swingarm black
