    • I look at it every time I go through the garage over the last few days. Since I am sitting at home with a torn calf muscle for a month. Can't ride it. Might as well hook up the battery to the trickle charger.

                But basic troubleshooting should get it running.

                I rode my Kat today. It still has a little problem between 4500 and 5500 rpm but I'm pretty sure its the floats. 6000rpm and above is sweet. Its hard to believe anyone would talk smack about a Katana. 6000 rpm to redline feels pretty freaking good. Plenty of power and enough speed to kill you if you fall off.
                thanks for offer to help. next time your austin hit me up, well go ride

                    At a constant speed in the same gear, it shouldn't matter about load or headwind. If your revs change by 1000 RPM at 100kph, you probably have a slipping clutch.

                          If it were 34's, no but, they are rare 33's and mikuni doesn't support them any more. I have to mod 34 parts to work. Just waiting on my R6 throttle and cables to arrive, stock cables are too long and my thottle tube was broken on the return side.
