So I've been tooling around on my newly refurbed 82 Katana 1000. 16v motor with plenty o power to kill me. Been having tons of fun, but when I get back on my 84 Katana 750, well, it just seems a bit er, umm, ahh, tame shall we say.
What I once thought was a rocket is now a little less appealing. So my question would be this: What can I do to this thing to liven it up a bit under the seat?
As I understand, the Japanese gov't of the time regulated all motorcycles for domestic use be regulated to a max of 77 hp. Not too inspiring.
As this pop up is a Japanese Domestic Market it is probably safe to assume it conforms to that regulation.
It shares the same cases and internals with the 83 750e, and 85 700e. I believe, however, that the cams and possibly timing/advance/retard are different to achieve that number (77).
So first thing I guess would be to change cams? Igniter box?
If I wanted to go really crazy with a bore and pistons, what is available out there?
Does anyone know if the first generation GSX-R motors will fit in?
Any help at all is appreciated. Thinking about taking the 84 under the blade like I did the 82 Thou, and if I do, then might as well look at the motor while its all apart, right?
BTW, the bike is currently bone stock with the exception of some cheapy aftermarket mufflers because the lovely originals developed a severe rattle somewhere inside....
