Shes scarred, but shes mine!!!

[Tuxxx]

Iv owned my 95 katana for bout a week now, and i jus found this site, she needs a lot of work, need to replace almost every piece of plastic on her. and my current problem, that i hope is a relatively easy fixxx..., im trying to find out if there is a way to adjust the friction zone on the clutch, right now, i gotta pull the clutch all the way in to get it to engage so i can shift... really fatiguing my clutch hand... got other problems, but im tryin to pace myself, so as not to annoy the vets... any help/advice, would be greatly appreciated.

i would start by making sure the clutch is properly adjusted, there's a very good how-to in the how-to section. As well as if its hard to pull it it might need a good lubing.

Welcome.
Start by cleaning/lubing/adjusting everything on the bike. One of the problems with buying a used bike is that the previous owner (PO) sold it because they lost interest in it. Usually, this means that it sat in the garage/carport/yard for a while, collecting dust and allowing oils to evaporate/get washed off/get loaded up with dirt and grit. Oh, and allowing moisture to collect and start rusting everything into a huge, gritty mess. You can pretty much bet on the fact that the PO didn't do anything to it that didn't have to be done in order to sell it. That leaves all those little things up to you. the good news is that none of the things that need to be done to a bike that was in reasonably good shape before it was parked are really difficult or even all that expensive. Besides, what better way to get to know your new baby than to pull the fairings and get your hands dirty?
