Suzuki GSX / Katana description

We bought this Katana for sport touring and advertising for our business - Sturgis ATV & Small Engines.  

With the big Yoshimura exhaust, it was running lean, and we elected to go ahead and replace all of the exhaust valves and then re-jetted the carbs to compensate for the higher air flows through the engine.  With the carbs apart, we overhauled them, too.

The stock sprockets had been replaced with lower gears (included) but I didn't like the RPM at highway speeds (75-80) and replaced them with higher than stock gear ratio, (replaced both sprockets and chain) thus improving fuel economy, and still leaving tons of power to the rear wheel!  You can still roast the tire when getting on the on-ramps to the Interstate, but get 50 mpg if you be nice to it!

The body is gorgeous, with the rear turn-signals delete, LED tail-light/stop/turn, with orange LED emergency flash.  The body stripe kit has been customized to include several new reflective stripes on the sides and rear of the bike to improve night visibility.

New front and rear tires, new battery, and choke cable.  Always babied and loved.  Starts every time, reliable fun!
Mileage will increase slightly, as it is still being ridden around the 2013 Sturgis Bike Rally.  (This bike has been in many of the Sturgis videos!)

Japan Needs Your Help

Thu, 17 Mar 2011

By now, we’ve all seen pictures and video of the devastation in Japan following the March 11 earthquake and the ensuing tsunamis. Japan, of course, has contributed much to motorcycling, with the Big Four of Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha, as well as tire manufacturer Bridgestone, helmet companies Arai and Shoei and many other motorcycle industry stalwarts all coming from the Land of the Rising Sun. Jon Bekefy and Greg Hatton, two motorcycle enthusiasts, industry employees  and above all, humanitarians, have set up a fundraising campaign benefiting the Red Cross for relief efforts in Japan.
