kat 1000 information please

Post by spondonchris » Sat Nov 10, 2018 6:44 pm

Hi all
Looking for info on the UK Kat 1000 as I intend to rebuild a kat 1000 project I have bought. I would like some high res images of either side or maybe someone has a brochure from back in the day? Just want to make sure I get it right.

There is a topic in this section saying kat 1000 info but the link does not work?

Any help appreciated :D

Hi Chris

Everything on the 1100 is exactly the same except for the Carbs, push/pull throttle and cables. (also engine size) :D.

So any picture of a standard gsx1100sz will do.

Thanks for the input. I know the engine is different so that's sorted and I have the carbs as well. If it looks the same as the 1100 Ill just go with that
cheers
