Hello everyone!
I've had an '03 600 Katana since... well, '03. It's kinda my first and only bike, and I've put about 40k on it.
Most recently it's sat for a good two years, and I'm only now giving it the loving attention that it has deserved.
7 or so months ago I:
- Changed oil (Castrol Synthetic)
- Changed fuel filter
- Changed plugs and wires
- Changed air filter
This week I'm finally able to afford these repairs (parts purchased, work starting tomorrow!):
- Ivan's Jet kit carb upgrade
- new sprockets (1 down in front, 2 up in back)
- new chain
- new bearings
- new tires
- new fork seals (old seals were in a bad way)
That said, does anyone recommend any additional upgrades/work I could do to help pep the bike up? Would a slip-on exhaust help any (For performance, not sound - I'm not a loud pipes guy)?
Also... I'm kinda at a loss on finding a good manual for this bike. It doesn't seem like anyone makes a shop manual for the katana 03 or later. Does anyone know of any?
Many thanks and nice to meet you.
