Hey guys. My name is Andrey and I just got a 1992 600 Kat. I had an 89 a long time ago for a little bit, but this one is here to stay. I am new to these bikes and don't know much about them. The bike I got has some things that need fixed, so any help you gays can offer in the form of advice would be greatly appriciated. The big things I wanna take care of are the huge dent in my gastank that happen when the previous owner layed the bike down. The dent is prob about the size of a football so.. its not small... Don't want to spend money on a replacement, and I don't mine getting my hands dirty sence I work on cars all the time. The other problem I have is an engine noise that comes in from 3500rpm on up... its a loud chattering that sounds like its coming form the head...Biked runs fine, and the noise doesn't happen if the bike is in neutral and revved up. Only does it when its under load. Sounds like collapsed lifters in a car. I susspect maybe poor grade gad thats making it the motor knock, or valves that need adjusted really bad! LoL But not sure. Thanks for any help you guys may be able to offer and I am glad to become a part of the Kat Community.

As for the football-sized dent in the tank? If it's on a crease you'll be lucky to get it right. I'd be checking to see if you can find a decent one from salvage or e-Bay.
Good luck bro.sigpicLife throws you curves......enjoy the ones you get when riding.

Thanks guys! And especially thank you slofuze. I got most of the dent out today by removing the fuel level sensor and using a 1/2 in socket extension and a hammer. Worked well. Just need some filler and she will be saved till i can save up to get a new one. As for the noise, im taking the valve cover off tomorrow and see what i find in there... hopefully its not too bad. Ill keep you updated! Thank you!
