So I have an oppurtunity to put a 1990 GSX-R 750 in my 89 kat 750. My motor blew at 105,000km and the gsx-r has 30,000km on it. Can I use my stock exhaust and carbs from my kat? Anything else I should be aware of?

Just make sure you grab the CDI and coils from the replacement engine as well -- some of the oil cooled GSXR engines from that era were "slingshot" engines (I don't recall the years specifically), which had the same displacement but different bore/stroke (longer stroke). As a result, I'd expect the CDI is probably not interchangable on those units with your Kat's CDI. If the bore/stroke is the same, your existing CDI can probably drive it, but you'd still be best off using the CDI that originally shipped with each engine.

So I got an e-mail the other day from the guy who sold the engine and it wrote that the buyer skipped out on the engine because he didn't want to pay for shipping. The seller sold it to me for $130!!!! because i picked it up. The only thing I am concerned about is that there is a hose coming out of the 4th intake boot and I'm not sure where that can go. Any help would be great.

I'm putting the engine in the frame maybe on wednesday. I noticed that my oil cooler lines may be too short for the 90 gsx-r 750. That is the first problem so far. I'll keep you updated. I feel something with the clutch cable maybe being an issue too since the cable has to be on the opposite side than the katana.1989 Suzuki Katana 750
