Gsx 600 Fj

[wan3417]

A friend of mine has just bought and trying to restore his newly acquired bike but can't find any info on it's parts. He says the bike is a GSX 600 FJ year 1987.
The chasis no is : GN72A-103972 and
the engine no is : N 705-109621
Does anyone have any info on this model?
He needs to know where to get replacement parts for his bike too.
As the bike was badly rejetted by the former owner, he would like to know :
the main jet size; jet needle; pilot jet and no of turns for the pilot screw.
Plse respond, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Is it a Yamaha FJ600 or a Suzuki GSX600 Katana?

[wan3417]

I've seen the bike and it definitely is a Suzuki; so it must be a Katana then.
Did they have these models in 1987?

Here is a link-
Click it and look at the motorcycles listed, then tell me what you have-
They did not make a 600 katana till 1988.

www.bikebandit.com is a great site for replacement parts.

Thanks guys, but the model isn't listed in either websites.
The bike is a 4 in line Suzuki GSX600FJ. It seems the trailing 'J' of FJ denotes the year of manufacture (1987).
I'll try and upload some pics soon for easier ID.

its an 88 katana gsx600f. the j indicates the year. it was probably made in late 87 for a 88 model.

Got it! Found the parts listed on BikeBandit.com under Suzuki GSX600FJ KATANA year 1988.......
As for tuning the engine, could anyone advise on the following:
1. Main jet size
2. Jet needle
3. Pilot jet
4. Pilot screw ( no of turns )
Fantastic people here!
