Hi all, I have some GSX1400 forks that I wish to fit to my Katana, how do I tell what year they are?
2001 to 2006 or 2007.
- Does it come with a mudguard?
The color might give a clue
- does it come with the RHS switch gear?
Not all years gave hazard lights.. think its 2004 up that does
-
You can only tell if you open them up.
the K2 is on the left, obvious difference is the metal spacer, the cartridge, the bottom plastic insert, the springs for K2 are slightly shorter and a different shape, the rebound adjuster on the K5 can be unscrewed from the slider, the top unit on the K2 can just be unscrewed from each other, on the K5 onwards there is a retaining clip
the top tube is the K5, the transfer holes are in different places.

cheers blubber, that ES suits the Kat fairing
as for google ive been looking for ages and just can't find feck all ?????? never mind, I'll just have to go with the original plan and paint the whole bike silver
Just re-read your original question.
You want the paint code for the 400 kat.
My bad.
I assumed the 750 / 1100 paint code.

@Blubber….. what ever became of that slammed kat with the bmw car wheel that Simon was building years ago ?
Wasn't that Rotty's ?
Again... not a real kat..also a ESD
And.. no effing clue.

Sorry.. never owned a real kat.
Back in 03 i did own a gsx1100esd with a katana fairing.
The whole bike was painted bright metallic green.
Bikes from L to R... Mr7/11 - Patrick, mine and PP - Simon
Ps... google will be your friend for the most recent - available - paint for the katana grey :this is for the 750/1100 kat " Mine is in Bright Silver colour code13L coz its the bog standard colour i believe."

Slingshot sumps are different shape and have different oil cooler lines. They will fit with the correct pick up and drain tubes.
I would offer you the spare slabbie one I have but the forum mods will get all medieval if I did that...
PM or DM him so the mods won't find out.

Looking at pic 2 and 3: I see a raised edge where i would expect the dust seal to grip on.
I think the rubber needs to go over that bit. The cup will probably go deeper after that.
- Did you make before and after pics?
Please check before going on my first impression

Not sure if it works on a GSXR, but it works a treat on the GS / GSX.
That is what Superdunc already mentioned. It works on a gsx1400 too

You enlarge the radius the cable rolls on

By the way, I'm going out on the weekend in the van and there's a nice GSX750EF with 46000km's for 1000€...I'm thinking about bringing it back with me!
Check if it idles and rev's ok
I read that these can have a problem with that and it is really time consuming to fix the problem

I have found a lot of websites that do have countershaft sprockets for the GS1150 but none offering a 525.
I went to the link you gave me, www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk and checked every 525 countershaft available for Suzuki’s, this is what’s listed: DL1000, DL650, GSF650, GSR600’ GSR750, GSXR600, GSXR750, GSX650F, SV650. Maybe one of these have the same output shaft splines as an 1100/1150 but they gave no specific fitment reference as such.
That is solely due to the fact that 525 is not the standard fitment for the bike, 630 is.
But that is what G1460 already said.

Yes it vents through the cap but not actually via the key bit.
From memory:
Under the small hole under the flip up lid of the cap; there is a rubber mushroom shaped bit acting as the actual vent
That might be slightly disformed.
-
You know the rules... pics or it didnt happen
Sounds like a nice project

So basically you replaced the starter gear, the bike turns over but won't fire or is it turning over very slowly?
- Can you point out what you replaced of the attached diagram?
-
That looks like a compact configuration.
Or nice and tidy
-
Cool
In what frame is it going?
-
I would guess so.
We allow 1st gen Hayabusa's on here and turbo's.
I might even need to move this to the boosted section then
