The Kat's not well

IT'S ALIVE

The Kats purring again
Well, the Kats out of ICU and back home in a comfortable position in the garage.
Now the findings were as we know rooted solanoid, next was a shaged fork seal due to rust and pitted holes on the fork leg... fixed for the mean time thanks to the old trick of sanding the shit out of it and epoxy.

Now #2 pot... carbs, full of water as were the other carbs, but #2 the diaframe had collapsed and the emulsion tube was corroded, the carb also had a different sized jet in it to the other three.
I scored a set of 1100 carbs but it turned out that they were the same size as what the bike already had.

Next w/e is rd3 BEARs so time will tell, but its sounding different and starting sweet.

OK it sound different but the $64,000 question is: does it haul any harder than it did before??

The biggest performance improvement that bike could get would be a new rider

You mean you didn't take care of the basics before you started diddling around with it it's a worry

Very slightly off topic- I have the option of picking up a GSX1100 for $1500. Not reeaaally what I'm looking for, but would it be any good? Ignore that fact that I would be riding it! If a decent rider was on it against a decent rider on something more nimble like an LC would the GSX stand a chance?

At that price you would be silly not to buy it, and if you dont want to I would be interested in it

with a decent rider yes it would, the LC doesnt have the top end speed or the same punch out of the corners

Mate, they hold there own, I mean like at Teratonga it was a GSX 11 that won each race, be it a rather hoted up bike but it still did the job, and the other 11 there was hauling arse rather well too
So tell me more bout this eleven

thats right... be buggered if I was going near 4 carbs, havnt the patents for that, and I aint no rangi
So thanks to Triumph Street and Sport the bikes tuned rather minities

Won each race my arse, it only finished one race because it shit the clutch in the 2nd race, the GS1000 won the second and I won the third

Teretonga is also track that suits big bikes because Diesel Pig beat him at Levels on James RD400 and I even passed him a couple of time

Buy it, ring him now, you can always on sell it or trade it if you dont like it

Its not the yellow GSX11 that Spudracer sold with the cracked cylinder head, is it? (see page 2 or 3 of this thread)

whats scary about working with 4 carbs, you only do one at a time then 3 sets of two when you balance them

so it's tuned up mmm? means it'll be faster than the Nero
