Hi guys,
Recently picked up a new bike after searching all summer for something I liked at a great deal. I found this beauty (1993 Katana 750) for $1300 in almost perfect running condition. Previous owner had the bike since 2000. It has fairly high miles (36,000), but still feels great. I could tell that the previous owner took care of it. It is a very nice step up from my previous bike which was a 1980 Honda CB650c. I'm hoping to get some good experience riding safely and doing my own maintenance on this bike.

Anyways, I've put on about 500 miles so far in the last couple weeks. It's been leaking a little oil from the engine somewhere. I think it might be the valve cover. Probably going to disassemble everything this winter to clean and rebuild with fresh gaskets. I haven't seen a specific section for the 750's here, but I think they are pretty similar to the 600's. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could point me in the right direction on the best forums to use for my bike and if there are any really good DIY rebuild type posts that are picture heavy.
