  • New rider with an old kat

    Hey whats happening.
    My name is shawn and I'm from maple ridge in BC.
    Just bought a 1990 katana 600 with 70,000kms on it. Only mod I know of is the yoshimura exhaust altho I still need to have a look at all the paperwork that came with the bike.

    She needs the following:
    Brake pads up front (uneven wear)
    Brake rotor and pads out back
    Some major clutch work...
    and the cam chain is rattling I'm told.

    Does anyone know of a manual cam chain adjuster for these bikes? If not I'm going to have my CNC guy make one.

    Gotta say I love riding this bike. Cant wait to see how she rides with the new parts.

                    Thanks guys... just got in from my training course for motorcycle riding. 2 days left and I gotta tell ya that I would have been quite the unskilled rider had I not taken the course.
                    Been riding about a week with maybe 20 hrs of riding time before that in my lifetime.

                    These bikes are quite the treat. My instructor cleaned and lubed my clutch cable today before the ride and the clutch works flawlessly now. So that just saved me 300 bux.
