  • Glad to be here!

    Hello all,
    My name is Rudy, I Live in San Francisco (born and raised) and I just acquired a 1989 Katana 750! I've been riding for 25 years now and own several different bikes including an 03 ZRX1200R and an 82 KZ550 ltd. I'm looking forward to puting some miles on my Katana (I like the low seat height). I have many questions about the Katana and there is much work to be done like fork seals, chain and sprocket and the like. I actually took the bike for a ride yesterday and everything was fine until I turned the bike off and heard what sounded like a fuse popping a couple of seconds later? Now the bike wont start! The oil light and neutral light lite light up when I turn on the bike but the headlight doesn't come on and the bike won't turn over (dead). I have to get to know the bike and get a manual cuz I checked the fuses under the seat and they are all good?

    Any ideas?

      I checked all 4 10 amp fuses and they are fine, I'm confused now, don't know where else to look. Weird how the oil and neutral light come on but nothing else?

        ok, now check the small wire coming off the negative side of the battery. Especially the connection on it

                Thanks ThAzKat! The wire with the white coonector at the negative cable was the culprit. It was dirty and had buildup. I cleaned it and now the bike runs fine.
