  • Nuts and Bolts

    Are the nuts and bolts on a 2001 Katana 600 American or Metric? Also what is the best way to clean a KN air filter?

    Metric... it's a metric bike.

    Best way to clean a K&N filter is to buy the K&N filter cleaning kit. It comes with a cleaning solution and the special oil that makes the K&N filter. If you don't re-oil it, it will be worthless.

      Also might want to just ditch the K&N and go with a factory stock air filter, especially if you've noticed some hesitation somewhere in the midrange. K&N's and the Katana's CV carbs are notirious for not palying well together. lol

        It was worthless the day it came off the assembly line.
        90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

            While the K&N recharger kit is the best way to clean an K&N, you'll find your 98+ Kat runs better with the OEM filter (period). The kat will also last longer if you switch back.

                You do that... and upgrade to a 98+ while you're at it, because I don't comment about the pre's...
