have access to a 96 katana 600

[CCC-TT]

Ive got access to a 96 katana 600 motor. I'm working on a 1980 gs550l. Would any parts from the 600 be compatible with the gs motor? I was thinking if the transmission could be swapped, I'd opt for the 6 spd over the 5. If anything else is cmopatible it might be worth my time to look into. Let me know what you think.

Thanks.

No. 8 valve motor in 550 & 16 valve Kat mator. What you COULD do, if you have any fabrication skills, is to put the Kat motor in your 550! Ray.

I added a GS700E to my GS500 frame...

Required a new front and rear mount plate assembly to be made...and adapted the rear swingarm too..lotsa work..but WORTH IT!

How much faster is the kat600 vs my stock 550?

Most likely, a lot! Engine technology has come a long way since the 80's.

You already have 6 speeds in your 550.

Are you sure. I'm about 95% sure its a 5 spd

The early 550s came with six speeds.
