I just picked up my new to me katana on saturday. It is an 88 600 with 22K. First thing I noticed was that the upper fairings are shot. Will be looking for a good set soon. All the fasteners have been replaced with plastic inserts and screws, not attractive with the bad plastics. The PO left the fuel tank in prime, and emptied the gas tank in the oil. Pulled a couple of plugs, and they are black. Front forks feel like there is no oil in them, and rear shock feels wooped too.
Going to Ron Ayers today to pick up the oil, oil filter, spark plugs, K&N air filter, and order a manual. What forks/frontends will fit these bikes without too much mods? How/where to I drain/refill the fork oil? What rear shock will work besides stock? Where can I pick up new mounting hardware for the plastics?
I am hoping to get the bike running today or tomorrow. Hopefully with the fresh oil and plugs, she'll fire up and run. Anything else you all would suggest doing? Thanks for the info.
