Hi all, hey anyone know of a online or manual of some sort for the 83 Kat?

What I'm needing to know 1st up is the tapit clearances and how much fork oil the forks hold?

Depends on how hard you tap it as to the clearances and the forks will hold about a litre each although you'd do weel to probably only half fill them to save on them compression locking.

That was easy wasn't it?

Hacksaw blade for the inlet & steel ruler for exhaust :blip:

inlet/exhaust = 0.09 - 0.12mm (0.004 - 0.005") cold.

forks mmm have you got air caps ?
specs here say 15w oil , 238mls per fork, and 0.5kg/cm (7.1psi)

or just use Catapillar gear oil :wait:

cheers man, no air caps... and I think I'll go for the heavest oil I can, will remove the anti dive aswell, but thats linked to the brakes.

The anti dive units on most of those older bike were just a bunch of bollocks and did sweet F/A :yes: typical mid 80s 'techno bling' cobblers.

I wouldn't worry about it being linked to the brakes, the slaves on the forks are probably siezed anyway :lol:
