  • New To Bikes

    Hello Everyone. I am new to riding and I have picked up a 2000 Katana GSX600F. It's blue in color. I have already started my tune up. I am also learning all of the mechanics that go with having a bike. I don't want to be one of those girls that rides but doesn't know anything about the bike. I have changed all spark plugs, cleaned my carbs, drained the oil (intercooler included), and put in a K&N air filter. I am just trying to figure out how I'm going to drop the filter. It's on there REAL tight and nothing seems to be working for me. Hopefully, you guys have a few suggestions...

            Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a
            mistake when you make it again.

                        Get you one of these. I'm unsure of the size you need since I'm not at home to look at mine. Maybe some one else could chime in.
