Changed engine from pre kat to post kat and have a problem

[alchemist007]

I have a 1991 suzuki katana 600. I recently swapped its engine with a 2000 katana engine.


One of the problems is this:

How do I attach these hoses to the new engine? There are no holes to screw them in like the old engine.

They go on the other side.

I think those are for a california emission bike, the new engine isn't a cali engine, you should be able to do away with all that.

Looks like cali-forny ****...

No they are not. Those are the oil hoses, they are on EVERY oil cooled engine. The run from the crankcase to the cylinder head cover on the back side of the engine.
2004 Suzuki GSX600 GSX 600 Katana oil cooler lines hose
that's them.
Actually, now that you mention it, it's very possible that is CA emissions ****

Wait...you're not admitting that you might be mistaken...are you?

Those are definately the exhaust port connectors for the cali PAIR emissions system.

They are not nessasary, nor will have any effect on the bike in how it runs. The hoses connect to a couple of cannisters directly under the gas tank. The pair is connected by one bracket, 2 bolts to the frame. Remove those 2 bolts, pull all the hoses and the cannisters out.

Plug the ports coming out the bottom of the carbs, and remove those hoses.

Remove the large black cannister on the left side of the bike, under the tail fairing and attatched hoses.

Change out the vacuum to petcock line to be a single line from the carbs to the petcock.

Disconnect and or remove entirely the fan on the right side under the main fairing, directly under the carbs.

You have successfully remove a bunch of not needed crap and can go forward with riding your bike with no worries.
