Katana Owners Club U.K.

You're right, the smaller water cooled Kats are great fun and have brakes and tyres owners of the original bikes can only dream of, being small and revvy the best thing i've found out about my 250 Kat is that even keeping within the national speed limit you can still have fun with 10500 revs at 60m...

O.k this is it .I gotta say just don’t use crap fuel and the 400s is a SWEET machine.Dont blame the bike ..blame your fuel company or just use an additive and this bike is frikken awesome!! I have added another bike to my garage recently and as it’s winter I want to ride it but I keep going back to ...

Ok.Went for an80k ride today.There is no user manual with these shocks so I wound the shocks to put some preload on the springs I just gave them two complete turns and used feeler gauges on the housing to get them even on both sides.I didn’t do anything else.All I can say is if you want a cost effec...

Shocks arrived today . They seem very well built with nice external machining.
Bolted in nicely and bloody GREAT! Today is Tuesday so I won’t get a chance to ride until the weekend so I will give them a thorough text over the weekend then I will post my review

Thanks Rob yep those yss ones DO look the part I will definitely look at them ,and thanks Pookie I will check the Chinese ones as well.I just like the look of the piggy back shocks, Pookie when you say soft can you crank it up at all to stiffen them? Rob do you know if the yss can be serviced ? I pr...

Thanks for the reply mate.
Yep I have seen the yss but they don’t look the part.Does anyone have any experience with the Chinese ones on Ali express? They look good but Chinese?..........???.?

Can anyone help a guy across the other side of the world? I have a rear shock leaking on my ‘94 400 ssn. Over here in NZ it may as well be from outer space as it was never a local model.I am trying to source seals etc and hopefully I am successful but if not can you recommend a supplier in the UK wh...

whilst it may be fun to throw it down the lanes, i think that it must be much more satisfying to throw them in the river...... ;-) :D yep I do see your point but so far so good “and fingers crossed ,and don’t you fuckers quote me later on” but using fuel additive and non ethanol.If this is all it t...

Ok time for a 4 month summary.Using fuel additive and non ethanol fuel i have had no issues at all re hard starting etc.I still LOVE this thing and it still makes me smile (and it goes like fuck) :twisted: I have wanted a katana since I was a long haired teenager,and now I am a long haired 50 someth...
