    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hard to put in neutral

I recently bought an '83 1100 Kat and I can't get the touch to put it in neutral while I'm stopped and idle. If the motor doesn't turn it goes to every gear easely. No problem either if I'm still moving. My friend had an 88 Katana a couple of years ago and it did the same. Any suggestion to what I should expect and look to solve the problem. Thanks :?
 
Play with your clutch cable adjustment. You need some free play, but basically as little as possible as long as it's fully released when the lever is out. This allows you to apply as much release pressure to the clutch arm as possible without affecting lockup.
 
Generaly it's easier to get it in to neutral before you stop, or often I'll go from 2nd to neutral.
But also make shure your clutch adjustment is spot on.
Use the right weight of oil ,and change it when you should do.
