Barn find Katana recommission on shoestring budget?

[@carlwallace7157]

Messy forks and good tunes ....Happy days .Keep it going lads 😎😎😎

[@alaindavis5704]

Seeing the little dude with his lid on made my day, thoroughly enjoying this build keep up the good work.

[@abbieatk]

Baz and billy we know whos in charge there 😅

[@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport]

Definitely Billy 😂😂

[@laurencehastings7473]

Original content, original music and an oily rag. What more can you ask for🤣

[@shanerobertson6267]

PDF are anti dive when braking - they never really took off. Make a spanner from 3mm flat bar - with 26mm wide forks. Set pdf to position 4 it will expose the flat sides of the thread to undo. Pop pdf if vice gently to crack seal - soak in wd first as fine thread has gunk. You will find water in there corroding the zinc plated parts. Pull down and reassemble. Cheers Shane - don’t try to get just cap off.

Good tip buddy ill take a look. 👍😁

[@salsavillo9991]

Good Morning Baz. No insult meant. I"m glad to see you finally are using a proper penetrating oil

[@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport]

Almost but not quite yet. 😉😂

Greetings from a fellow Sheffielder - Nice job on the clutch - I have XT600 and R80GS projects that are stalled but watching your vids provides some much needed encouragment

[@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport]

love it already you put a crash helmet on the dog

[@shanerobertson6267]

Hi gentlemen I forgot to mention put an inch Long piece of fuel line over the clutch pin ( driven into block by the slave) as the pin gets flogged by chain grit and gets pitted - that gouges out the seal next to drive sprocket. Shitty to change that small seal - drive sprocket off. Many misdiagnosed oil leaks from this issue as it ends up all over sump- stand and exhaust and is difficult to locate even after degreaser. Cheers Shane Australia

[@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport]

Top tip that one buddy, I'll add that in my next video.. Much appreciated. 😁

[@BatFastard01]

As already said in comments, keep the original look and finish with mechanics fettled and recommisioned where needed. 👍

[@markhandley7665]

It also works to use 130 lbs of air😊

[@steveneastland4128]

Best way to release anything hydraulic is to have a spare master cylinder with a short line, hook up to it and job done, piston forced out, never let me down

[@daveswarbrick5576]

Common problem in that workshop is shooting fluids everywhere 🤣 Totally understand you not doing a full resto job , which just leaves the airbox 🤣 Got my own project with an RD400c which a certain Mr Wonder has attacked and made a right dogs dinner of most things.

[@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport]

Which airbox is that? No idea what you mean.. 🤔😂

[@johntapley2549]

I've owned two GSX750ESD's in the past and I don't think either of them had a hydraulic clutch. Odd that they put it on the Katana version which is basically the same machine. Well done though, keep up the good work.

[@shanerobertson6267]

Your right John- the end had cable and pop up hydraulic one same as early gsxr and hyabusa cheers Shane from Aussie

[@ksouster6839]

Excellent work Like the Blue Man group tube instrument stylie section 😉 Re what to do, I’ve got chronic fatigue and for that ‘good enough is good enough’ so if it works ok then 👍

Thanks Kev. What is Blue man group tube? 🤔😂

I feel privileged to have heard every Smiling Ivy song on their new Album almost a year before it comes out. 😁😎

[@ccavanagh8429]

CBR900RRX rolled out and my spanners are out, I was wondering where the great 80s ska type music was from.

[@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport]

Haha that's exactly what I want to hear buddy.. 👍😂 The music is from a band called Smiling Ivy who are based in the same building as us. A great set of guys and they have a new Single released this week on KZbin. Give them a follow (link in description) and let them know how you found them in their comments please..? I thank them so much for letting me use their tracks. 😎

[@jimallen199]

I reckon just do what you are doing. I don't know if your keeping it or not but maybe move it on to someone want to do s resto or a resto mod

[@ccavanagh8429]

The joy of Clutch Slave cylinders, I have one on the Ducati which is rubbish and one on the goldwing which is a bit better

[@inout3513]

Leave it as is as far as the finish goes as long as its mechanically sound ....Well that's my thoughts anyway...I have a baby 400 katana you could get up and running its all there but I can't seem to get it running

Could you email us through the website please? 😁
