Hey, just bought a 2006 gsx750f, i don't know much about these bikes.. i saw the bike and bought it because of the mileage and price.. i just wanted to know if there is anything i need to check out, common issues etc. Thanks

I would suggest visiting each section of the forum and reading any of the stickies there that catch your attention. There is a ton of information to be had with just a few clicks and some reading.

Welcome!

The most frequent are:
a) not knowing the settings on the petcock
b) not knowing the function of the sidestand kill switch
c) not knowing that the clutch needs to be pulled when attempting to start it
d) not knowing the proper size tires made for your rims.

Never really thought about it, but you just summed up at least 50% of the daily posts in a few lines...nice...

Once all of that is figured out, then comes:
e) how do I get more HP
f) K&N air filter pods
g) How do I wheelie a Kat

That's the other 50%

Welcome to KR! Orient yourself with the manual: http://www.metal-fab.net/files/98~02...e%20Manual.pdf

This will give you all of the information you'll need to maintain and service your Kat - or at least know what is involved should you decide to have a stealership do the work.

Once all of that is figured out, then comes:
e) how do I get more HP
f) Why does my bike run like crap after installing K&N air filter pods
g) How do I wheelie a Kat
h) why are my friend's bikes all faster?

Fixed that for you.

And here's the average KR answers:

e) Buy a Busa or a B12 or swap in engines of said bikes.
f) Because you're the FNG.
g) Not very easily, Why?

And then there's
h) Should I stretch my swingarm with cheap bolt-on extenders from flea-bay?

A good sense of humour goes a long way here....as does a Kat's engine.
