Have an exact duplicate of this bike I had stored for 18 years. Just got the carbs cleaned, battery, oil flush/change, and it fired right up tonight. New tires and overhaul the brakes and it will be back on the road. Used it as a commuter and put 70K miles on it with no mechanical or electrical breakdowns. Out of about a dozen motorcycles I have owned this was the most reliable.
@@ronaldwilliams4053 Years ago when carbs were very easy to get to 2-3 hours shop labor, plus parts. I cleaned my own and got lucky, no parts needed. This gasohol we use now is corrosive to older carbs and seals. You could see $200 or more in parts. I had this bike and was a factory trained Suzuki tech in the eighties. Personally I would never buy a carbureted bike that has set up for years. Fuel injected bikes are now simpler and cheaper to work on. Plus they are designed for alcohol blended fuel.
@@ronaldwilliams4053 Lol I think not. After tearing into that thing I remembered why I let it set all those years. Maybe in another 18 years will rebuild a set.
I loved Katanas when I was young, but never had one. So when I found this and a Katana 600 in great condition, I had to buy them. I already sold this blue one, but I still have the black 600. Best regards
I found something on e bay when searching for brake parts. A guy in Finland had brand new calipers cheaper than you can get old ones rebuilt and he has a lot of nos oem bike parts. By law manufacturers have to keep parts available for ten years. After that they dump them and some people hoard the stuff. Just do an e bay search for 1993 Katana 750 front brake parts. Then you can find the guy's e bay store and search the store. If you do need brake parts brake crafters on e bay is high quality built in house, much cheaper than dealer.

Very cool! Thank you for sharing. I had to sell mine last summer, because I had too many "toys" and not enough room. :(
How much is it to clean carbs or rebuild

I've always liked these Katanas, in that they're kinda ugly in a good way. It's hard to find a used 750 that wasn't beat to death, though.
