Katana Owners Club U.K.

I'll take some pics once the job is done, but if you're going to attempt it, it's a MAJOR job.

To give an idea, I've had to remove ALL the bodywork save the rear light/rear panel. Also to join the parts pile is the gear lever, fuel tank, the radiator and yes, the rear shock!!

NIghtmare..

That being said, another 15-20bhp from cat and servo removal might perk the pedestrian nature of the bike up a bit.

147bhp at the wheel.. pedestrian.. my MT-10 would kill it.

That being said, the Kat doesn't call you a pussy if you're not riding at 10/10ths like the MT does!!

It's also about 60mm too long, but that'll have to wait for now.

10s are mad.. and the noise.. well, nothing like it.

My mistake on my dyno figures.. it was 147.6bhp at 74.5ft-lbs..

More to come!

Any updates/pics?

Does it feel much better?
How much of a noise increase?
Is the fuel economy affected up or down?

I'll take some pics when the weather improves and I can get it out for pics.

In turn..

Yes, plenty, who cares?

How much HP does the MT make, like at rear wheel? I had the first year R1 cross plane crank, I think 2013? I think it was like 160 or so. or a few up from the 04 GSXR1000 it replaced.

About 150-155, but it's the way it produces it.. the newer R1s with the CP4 are knocking on the door of 190bhp..

Here's a pic of my system..

I've made some stainless brackets that hold any aftermarket system without the need for ugly hangers or modifying the standard rear footrests if you want to delete them. pm me if you're interested as I can do them for £50 each including all fittings rather than the near £170 for the Yoshi bracket!

Very nice..
I still have my decat exhaust sitting in it’s box. I can’t seem to find the time to fit it.
