  • Hello Everyone!!!

    Hi all!! My name is Chantel, I live in Highland California and am currently working on a Katana 600, trying to start a business out of my garage and this is one of the bikes I have. Someone was kind enough to give me a link to a manual although I had posted in the wrong place and then sent me the link here so I could introduce myself!! I am 26 years old and LOVE to ride!!! Anything else just ask!! I have lots of different kinds of bikes here as well at the moment and am a graduate from MMI out of Arizona so feel free to ask ME questions as well!! Thanks all!!!

    Oh by the way this bike upon starting Revs up and WONT stop until I hit the kill switch! It sounds like the engine is about the blow up! I have tried checking for air leaks, making sure the throttle is closed all the way, making sure nothing is obstructing the throttle from closing, making sure the diaphram is opening the closing properly using DWD40 checking for air leak EVERYWHERE and can't seem to figure this out!! So if you have any useful tip s for me or have had even heard of this happening please please please contact me ASAP
    Thank you all so much!!!!!

    Welcome. Check to make sure the choke rail isn't stuck open. Stick a finger in there from the left side of the bike and push the rail to the right to disengage choke. (Lever on the handlebar should be forward to disengage.)
