I have a 1998 Kat 600. When I turn my bike off, it seems like the RPM's go from 1,100 to 0 in an instant. Is that normal with these motors?

I'm not even looking at the tac, I'm going by the sound of the motor. My only comparison is my Harley big twin, and it seems to make an additional revolution before coming to a stop.I love chrome like a fat kid loves cake !!!

My impressions with riding a Kat and a Harley sportster was the Kat had more "engine drag" as well.
I'd assume that would also make a difference.

Maybe they think it means pooOriginally posted by soulless kaosbut personaly I dont see a point in a 1000 you can get the same power from a properly tuned 600 with less weight and better handeling.

The definition of off for a motor is "stop turning"
Q: Has your HD done that since new? It's vaguely possible that it's dieseling on an extra turn due to carb build-up igniting the final batch of fuel-air mix after you kill the coils (which is effectively what the "off" button should do).
