Got me a 'Kat' I ave

[dangerous]

Damn it... just couldn't help myself, I have been watching trade me for a Clubmans bike to race along with the buckets, knowing fully bloody well I couldn't afford it.
But then the other night a 750 Katana poped up, bidding had started at $500 and there was a bit of interest... buy now was 2k.

Ummme'd and are'd all night, Kickaha asking me every bloody 2min's on MSN if I had brought it.
Anyway next morning I kinda mistakenly hit the buy now button, then bugger it I bumped the confirm button... ahhh well shits done now :scooter:

It has 33,000k on the clock and hasn't been ridden for 5 years, hasn't been started in 18 months... ahh hell what kinda state will it be in.
kickaha said hell ride it up from Timaru... boy is keen on them Kats, to my suprise he even said he will ride pillion with me to get there... just as well he hasn't spoken with K14 lately or he'd be some what put off that idea.

So let the adventure start this w/e when we head off... BTW the owner droped $100 of the price so as I could regester it, ahhh who needs rego :wait:

Damn it... just couldn't help myself, I have been watching trade me for a pre82 bike to race, knowing fully bloody well I couldn't afford it.

Easy... as long as it was in production before June 82 its elagable...
Kats started in 1980 so there... BTW the 19inch was history in 83 and whats wrong with a import... down on power... so what, wont be for long.

haha... weight isent a prob, as I could never be as heavy as you and ya RS even If I was on to Kats :nya: as for power... it has less than the 500TC but then my 100cc MB keeps with ya RS :nya: :nya: man I cant wait till the next BEAR's now :first:


Suprised ya didnt buy a CX500!! Theres even a turbo on TM as well :gob:
Yeah I know... amazing, but that 500TC is too dear, nearly had a 650TC last week but that was an 83 so no go for pre82.
hey Gav I do know were my old hot rod CX 500b is... I wounder :blip:


Didn't the 750s have the one piece blue seat and the 1100's the 2 tone?
Yeah thats what I thought, and the 1100 has the black lower on the frount guard... were as the 750 dident.
But then remember this is an import bike so that could be the reason for the colour markings being the same as the 1100.


congrats! cool bike

Well, Kickaha rocked up this morning and we headed off on the MG to meet Manuboy, Rashika and Thunder.
Bloody cold ride to Timaru it was but enjoyable. Found the street that the Kat lives on and dragged the bike out of the garage. looked a little run down but for a 24yr old bike not bad nick.

Took the tank off and it was dry so filled it up with some fresh gas and injector cleaner. drained the carbs and this brown goo dribbled out so I left the full tap open and the bowl drains open to run the fresh gas through it.

Droped the new batt in and figgered it was time to start her up, and considering it hasn't been ridden for 5yrs, I wasn't too hopeful, 18 months ago the guy put some oil in the plug holes and as we couldn't get the plugs out figgered ahhh hell crank it over.

Started almost straight away, no odd sounds either... wicked aye?
Kickaha put some air in the tyres with the front being at 6psi and the rear 10... then headed for home.
Bike ran well we swapped at Templeton and I rode it around the airport, reckon it will do well on the track altho it seemed to go dead after 7500rpm... but next w/e I'll give it a scrub up and minor tune.

Camera batt is dead so will post a pic tomorrow of the group... as soon as I got home I removed the sky satellite anntena from the rear, looks way better already.
Thanks for the help Kick and good ride you others.

u going this weekend though aye!

[F5 Dave]

Suzuki tanks rust on the inside so fill the carbs with silt. My kat had about a cm of brown sludge in them. A thorough clean would be the caper before giving it any stick. Careful installing a fuel filter. One they aren't fine enough to stop the silt & second the shortness of the hose causes a kink with a straight filter section that will make the bike starve often as not.

Paper air filter could be well stuffed by now with mildew & crud. Plugs easily could be garbage.

Picked up a magazine I don’t often see, classic motorcycle mechanics. They had an article grafting a seat unit from a GSXR thou onto an original Katana.

Sacrilege! I hear you say? Erm, well not really. It looks far better than the pillion seat & suits it quite well. Like it could have been original. Kool!

[dangerous]

All sounds good about the Kat D. Are they its jumper leads hanging up in your gargre?

By the way, if you are looking for a new battery or memory for your camera, I just bought some bits from www.flashcards.co.nz/. Their prices are real sharp and delivery is next day.

hey oh, spent a bit of tie on the old girl over the w/e Kickaha helped out cheers man, new tyres, fork oil, brakes de seized/pads etc tappits checked and the clip ons swaped from left/right too right/left and put below the triple clamp instead of above it.

[Stan]

Oops, didn't realise this would go in the middle of a thread. Have added it at the end.

[Stan]

OK, I know this is my first post but I've gotta correct a couple of things.

1/. Katanas didn't come to New Zealand (or anywhere in fact) until 1981. I know because I bought one of the first 30 1100cc (120hp, wire wheel, slide throttle carbs) Katanas to come in to New Zealand in September 1981. And because of a cockup on the part of my dealer (Marlborough Suzuki) I ended up with one of the five that was supposed to go to the Wellington Motorcycles race team. :-) It had a different clutch and big bore pipes.

2/. The seats on 1100 Katanas were a fake suede and were grey in the pillion section and blue in the rider's section. 750cc Katanas had blue vinyl seats. Any confusion over this probably comes from the fact that most of the race teams used the 750 seats on 1100s because it was easier to get off the seat in corners with the vinyl seat.

The first pic is of the first Katana in New Zealand. This was a factory prototype sent to the Easter motorcycle show in Christchurch in 1981. I ordered mine on the Tuesday after Easter.

The next pic is my new Katana on the day it arrived in September 1981.
Thats me on the back and my wife on the front. Actually, she wasn't my wife then, we got married in October 1981 and we rode to the wedding on the Katana.

[Stan]

Got a lot more pics. I think I may even have an original brochure around somewhere. I'll have a dig and see what I can find.

To be honest, the Katana wasn't the greatest bike I've ever owned. Our previous bike was a GS1000ET and the Katana was a whole different kettle of fish. It was pretty radical in its day; the riding position was totally different to anything on the road and you couldn't take it anywhere without people asking lots of questions about it. The answers to the standard questions were: $7,200, 240kmph (Two-up on the Sanson Straights), and 120 horsepower.

But, it really wasn't very user friendly. This version had big, (40mm from memory) slide throttle carbs and the throttle springs were so strong that your right wrist and forearm would be in spasm after 15 minutes riding. I replaced the main return spring with a lighter one but then the throttle wouldn't roll-off by itself. Made it a bit tricky on scratcher’s roads :eek:

The handling was interesting. The rear springs were about the same rate as a GSX1100E but the damping rate was waaaay higher. This made the rear so stiff that the back wheel would bounce off the ground over sharp bumps even two-up. Also, it pushed the front end so hard coming out of bends that the front tyre (soft compound ribbed Pirelli Phantom) was worn out on the sides after 2,500km and still had a heap of tread in the middle.

We sold it in less than 3 months. Traded it to FCDC Honda in Fielding for what we paid for it. They wanted it for a customer who wanted to race it and couldn’t get a new one. We were going to trade it on a Mike Hailwood Replica but whimped out and ended up with a new CB750F which felt soft, gutless and sit-up-and-beg after the Suzuki.

My XN85 has the Katana logo on it and looks very similar in style but nowhere does it say Katana (In fact the only wording is just the 'Suzuki' on each side, it's an '83 from memory and a USA import.

[T.W.R]

The Katana was designed by German Hans Muth in the late 70s on contract by Suzuki, he was a designer for BMW, the 1st Katana models were shown a various Motorcycle shows around 1980 but slightly different to the production model , without the minimal bug screen, and fitted with stepped mufflers.

We got the rare wire wheel model (GSX1100SZX), while other countries got the standard model. The US however got a 1000cc (with different carbs as well) model to allow it to be raced in the AMA superbike series.

The XN85 was designed around the same perameters to encapsulate the Katana theme as it used the same engine as the GS650G Katana (673cc 2V DOHC) and not a sleeved 750 4V dohc TSCC engine

Nipped out to the gargre just then and had a look at the XN, it has a funny whitr 'F' shaped logo with a red samurai sword behind it, this logo is directly behind the steering-head on the fuel tank, just a little on front of the filler.

Hmmm, and the Ausie REVS mag of May '82 shows a black seat, mines an ex-USA bike, maybe they had different colours there - or maybe it's been recovered?
Whatever, it has been well done.

Could be standard ? a mate of mine had a imported 1100 Kat that had what had been a light brown coloured seat, by the time he got the bike it had faded to a caramel colour which looked quite good in the flesh and it was factory original.
doesn't matter what the colour is in all reality as long as its comfy lols, and its only splitting hairs unless you want a fine Sundays only showbike

Well things come and things go, The Kat hes been retired from racing and put back on the road. After riding the oll pig over to the coast I relised that racing wasnt for it, to tidy and too comphy along with the weight and effort needed on the smaller tracks I figered Id try something new.

Bloody two strokes... yeah well Ill give it a go, hell they are fun to ride so I found me a 350LC in need of a reblild. So attached is the last pics taken of the Kat and a few of the new shit box pre 82 race bike.
