Suzuki GSX / Katana description

We bought this Katana for sport touring and advertising for our business - Sturgis ATV & Small Engines.  

With the big Yoshimura exhaust, it was running lean, and we elected to go ahead and replace all of the exhaust valves and then re-jetted the carbs to compensate for the higher air flows through the engine.  With the carbs apart, we overhauled them, too.

The stock sprockets had been replaced with lower gears (included) but I didn't like the RPM at highway speeds (75-80) and replaced them with higher than stock gear ratio, (replaced both sprockets and chain) thus improving fuel economy, and still leaving tons of power to the rear wheel!  You can still roast the tire when getting on the on-ramps to the Interstate, but get 50 mpg if you be nice to it!

The body is gorgeous, with the rear turn-signals delete, LED tail-light/stop/turn, with orange LED emergency flash.  The body stripe kit has been customized to include several new reflective stripes on the sides and rear of the bike to improve night visibility.

New front and rear tires, new battery, and choke cable.  Always babied and loved.  Starts every time, reliable fun!
Mileage will increase slightly, as it is still being ridden around the 2013 Sturgis Bike Rally.  (This bike has been in many of the Sturgis videos!)

Suzuki MotoGP Team Make Progress In Final European Test At Mugello

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

A week on from the Suzuki MotoGP  test at the Misano circuit, and the team has wrapped up its final test of the season at Mugello. Here, team riders Randy DePuniet and Nobu Aoki tested a new cowling, an updated chassis, as well as further revisions to the electronics package. The new cowling was reported to give a better top-speed performance without any negative effects under different circuit conditions, so it was an improvement and step-forward from the team’s initial test of it in Misano.

It was good to catch up with my old mate Daryl Beattie last weekend in Misano. Daryl was pushing Mick Doohan hard for the 500cc World Championship in 1995 until he high sided and broke his collar bone in Assen mid way through the year. He eventually finished runner up in the series but then some fairly big tumbles from his Lucky Strike Suzuki in 1996 brought his career to a premature end.

Nissin ABS Modulator Recall Explained in NHTSA Documents

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Earlier this month, we published news about an issue with certain Nissin anti-lock brake system modulators that have been connected to recalls in Canada and Japan from Honda, Suzuki and Kawasaki, with the possibility of it expanding to further models and manufacturers using the same component. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has now released documents from American Honda’s recall of ABS-equipped CTX700 and CTX700N that shed some more light into the issue. According to the documentation, a manufacturing error may have resulted in Nissin ABS modulators being contaminated with aluminum chips.
