Greetings,
Just wanted to stop by and say hello.
I personally do not ride a Katana. I did however pick up a 1992 GSX 600F a few days ago for my wife to ride to and from work.
She has 2 seasons of to and from work commuting on a GS500 and we both felt this was a good step up from that.
Although considerably older than the GS I find we made out pretty well. Aside from sun fade the bike is complete and runs quite strong for being 21 years old.
Can not confirm actual, but milage on the clock is at 10k. I'm doubtful its rolled over to be 110K. I am currently getting the bike ready for safe riding so I haven't actually had a chance to check the ODO. Brakes, tires, lube filter, and whatever else I can think of. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
here are a few pictures of how the Katana looked when we got it home.
The only thing I've done so far was remove the Yoshi pipe and header. It was obviously not inteded for the bike as fitment was less than pleasing. Previous owner had to beat it with a hammer just to get it to clear the swing-arm and rear brake line. It also made it impossible to change the oil filter without removing the header. Since taking ownership I have added an OEM 4 into 2 header set up. The sound is ideal and more pleasing for my wife.
Anyhow, please feel free to comment and make suggestions.
Cheers
Nem
