Re: March CMM

Cheers for letting me know that the ''prizes'' are non existent Smallkat, wasn't bothered about missing out on two bottles of spray oil, but later copys of CMM were offering sets of tyres, gloves and even jackets, would have cheesed me off i'd have ''won'' any of those and didn't get anything.

Re: March CMM

Cheers, but i'm too old to be competitive these days, if you click on the picture and then click on the following picture you can enlarge the print and it becomes readable! that was nearly ten years ago but I didn't need the scottoiler anti rust spray, 'cos it's a Katana :)

Re: March CMM

Have to trump you there, Smallkat (though not in a Donald way) my letter was ''letter of the month'' in the March 2016 CMM, apparently I ''won'' two bottles of Scottoiler FS 365 but because I didn't send them my home address I didn't get it!

Re: Waking up the 400 after it's winter sleep (surprise!)

Couple of questions about lithium ion batteries, I've noticed on some you tube videos that there is a starting procedure, you have to wait for a few seconds (more than ten I think) before hitting the starter button and as the lithium ion battery is quite a bit smaller in size it will need some sort ...

Re: My modified home market GSX1100 Katana

Very nice, I like the pipe, got a Suzuki Gsr750 with a mivv double shotgun slip on in titanium that looks quite similar, i've owned a Kawasaki kr-1 250 two stroke from new and it has so many memories connected with it I can't sell it, did 100 miles on it last year! i'm getting older and fatter but t...

Re: Speedo needed

Looking at your photo of the clocks maybe you could just graft (glue) a plastic coffee stirrer onto the speedo needle and then paint both needles with reflective orange paint, would save a lot of hassle. and when it's stationary the speedo needle will cover up the hole in the speedo face, sorted! :)

Re: Waking up the 400 after it's winter sleep (surprise!)

Had the same thing waking up my 250, took the battery out in October last year to trickle charge it :shock: left it with a full tank of E5 and some fuel fit petrol additive, got the litetek viton carb kit fitted as well, last week I put the battery back in, pumped up the tyres, gave the carb float b...

Re: Speedo needed

A long shot but when looking for 250 kat spares I start with Two Wheel Spares (DK Motorcycles) then follow up with the Japanese company Webike, original clocks for any Katana are nearly impossible to find at the moment but you might be able to find a glass cutter to make a new screen and some people...
