    Here's my ride...

    So here we go... Got this bike mostly for free from my brother. He had the bike for 10 years, hasnt move for about 7-8 . So here i am, getting this bike alive one more time. Suzuki Katana gsx600f 1988





    Yup, 7-8 years = thiss





    Old fairing that i won't use.


    Bike is'nt starting. ( No kidding ! ). Prolly need to clean the carbs or do more. Get a new front headlight. New battery. The starter works. New chain & sprocket. Front brake are jammed. I will focus on getting the bike start, and after , will go for the esthetic.

              o come on now that chain still has a 1000 miles at least left on it!

              but ya i would consider a new one.. if your going stock look, those fairings are perfect candidates for repair. cause theres very limited pre kat body parts
              but welcome and good luck

                        Instead of telling someone who rides a motorcycle how dangerous it is -- LOOK TWICE before switching lanes, making turns, or pulling out of a drive way. Stay on your side of the road, especially in corners. Don't FOLLOW too closely; bikes can stop faster than cars can. Keep your eyes on the road and off your cell phones. If you care about someone who rides a motorcycle, please repost

                          THx every one for your comment! So i cleaned up the carbs. Got a new air filter, battery, spark plugs, changed oil.... Some new Idle screw + o-ring (2 ) , i really messed them up trying to unscrew them. Now i need to clean my fuel tank because its all rusted! New fuel petock is on the way too... 1 float bowl has an airline crack in the female hole of the drain plug. If anyone has a spare one... Bst31 ! Would really help me, i cant seems to find any.

                          BUT! I got the bike running really good. Holding idle, reving good.







                          I'm probably gonna keep the fairing on for now. But i have future plan for a streetfighter

                            LOL..chain makes me want a tetnus shot update.
                            heheheheh Looks pretty decent tho for sitting...
                            Is that headlight got a crack in it or just water running down?

                              Glad to see that you are making some good progress on your bike.
                              Go that way really fast, if something gets in your way turn.
