Katana Owners Club U.K.

Thanks for all the comments guys, have decided to bite the bullet and get a Suzuki factory dating certificate. After speaking with quite a few folks, it seems that the bike is a 1987 SAE model but has an older front end, so will see if the certificate verifies this

In the information I can find about the 1987 SAE model, the only main difference between an early bike and this one is the cast pegs (and black top yoke) both of which mine has.

I found a Japanese advertisement online of the SAE.

Thanks for the help guys!

Thanks Fossie - The bike has never been UK registered and I purchased it from from Unit 5 Moto who imported it from France.

Guys just to check, the flasher relay should be three pin to match the block connector on the loom, as all the ones I’ve seen advertised are two pin?

Thanks again

Pictures of the bike. Pretty sure 1987 SAE with now later carbs fitted

Sorry, just seen that you can attach files....Doh!
NRP have just said that they come from a 1994 SR Katana where the carbs were different, though I’m not sure how?
