Nah . I'm sure it'll wheelie easy enough if you hammer it , but not at part-throttle . That "smaller frame" is STILL pretty freakin heavy .

I am swapping motors between a 2001 bandit 600 and a 1996 Katana 600. I have noticed a few small differences:
1)On the front of the bandit engine there are 4 lines coming out of the head and go to a junction box that I think went to the airbox. These are not on the Katana
2)Just under the sprocket on the engine there is a plate with a wire coming out of it. What is this? There is one wire coming out on the Katana and 4 coming out on the bandit.
3)On the side cover that goes over the sprocket there is a sensor of some sort on the badit's cover and nothing on the katana's.
I don't know what to do about the first one, but on the second one would I just switch these plates? On the third one would I just keep the sidecover with the bike?

It SOUNDS like you got a Cali engine . Got 4 little metal tubes under the exhaust ports ? You can make or buy block-off plates for those . I made some out of a sheet of copper from the hardware store for like $3 . Cut them with a Dremel and stuck them between the tubes and the head . Pretty easy .
Also , the newer engines have a speedo sensor on the sprocket cover . Skip it , as your bike has a speedo cable on the front wheel anyway .

Originally posted by SweetLouJust for the record, the 1127 won't have a problem spanking the 600, 636 or anything else like that "At the Drag Strip" because you don't have that EXTRA gear. Trust me. I also have a minus 1 tooth in the front, for a while went up three in the rear, but recently brought it back to stock, and haven't noticed any fuel differences between the rear sprocket change. The bike hauls a$$ no matter what. 3rd gear pull is massive. I do mean massive. The tourqe is awsome. It will just keep pulling even at about 115mph. So get your little 600 or 636, and lets play.
