I just got a 99 katana. It has been sitting for about a year. Has no chain on it. When i start it up in neutral the sprocket that would turn the chain is still moving (in neutral). What could be the problem.

It's normal for it to move a, bit especially without a chain on. After you put on the chain I think your problem will be solved, let us know.R.I.P. Marc (CyberPoet)

Cold oil. When I first start my bike up for the day the back wheel will move if it's on the center stand and in nuetral. Once it warms up and gets some oil flowing through the clutch plates it should not move it much at all.

The oil doesn't even have to be cold.. And if you have the bike on the center stand, chain or no chain it still might spin the tire. This is what is know as viscus coupling. (wow I used the work viscus in two posts this morning.)Comment

Ok, I have to do it, sorryOriginally posted by Black_peter
The "viscus" you are talking about is really "viscous".
Viscus is actually a singular for viscera, which is :
vis·cer·a (vsr-)
pl.n.
1. The soft internal organs of the body, especially those contained within the abdominal and thoracic cavities.
2. The intestines.

Ok, and with that, lol, my rear wheel will move while in neutral and on the centerstand.Comment

I think viscus was the proper wording as he was talking about the inside "guts" of the transmission
