Quick fix for starting issues on 1100 Kat

[John Kat]

My 1100 Katana was getting more and more difficult to start untill it failed completely...
The sparks were looking very weak and before going to the "coil relay" mod, I decided to check a few voltages.
To my great surprise there was a 2 volt drop at the spare terminals on the fuse box as soon as I turned the ignition on!
The problem could eitheir come from corroded contacts on the plug going into the fuse box or else poor contacts inside the fuse box?
The very simple and quick solution was to route two separate leads direcly from the battery to the spare terminals.
The good news is that the spare terminals are also protected through a fuse.
Needless to say but the bike started instanteanously following the fix.

Any chance we could see a picture of what you did?

Rather than invent a new miracle cure(i.e. bandaid) for lack of maintence, just do the basic maintenance.
