Replace the coils first as it's a relatively easy job to do..... Coils of show up as a problem when the engine is under load at lower revs.....but often clears when you get the revs up...

This is what has been happening but then pop pop pop last night...I have been told coils and if it is , its an easy one, cheers

Hi

Can anyone recommend a good seat upholsterer in Hampshire/Berkshire?

I am looking for someone to remove about an inch from a seat, but I am too lazy/incompetent to do it myself!

I've tried a search but with not much luck, only Andover Upholstery but they aren't taking bookings until October!

Many thanks!

There are many videos of how to do it yourself. I have done mine not too long ago both front and pillion seat. Just get a decent staple gun, some good scissors and follow the vids. I didn't think i could do it but was't as bad as i thought, and was alot cheaper than upholsterers

Hi all, today i picked up my bike from the garage...but when i picked it up, the mechanic told my that either the coils are on the way out or cards need doing. I have done about 30 miles today in the sun but tonight (and its chilly out) It started popping/back firing and juddering. If i put into neutral and rev, no pops or anything. I didn't get far enough for the engine to get even warm...just a few hundred yards lol. I have noticed (before the garage) for a while that when stationary ie at lights, the bike revs almost stalls and sometimes does cut out and the mechanic who has just replaced the exhaust system, whilst taking it for a spin noticed the same thing and suggested either coils or carbs.

First are the symptoms I have described that of a coil failing in style? Or possibly carbs?? I am a novice when it comes the mechanics of things but would appreciate and advice

Hi, i have previously posted about another exhaust but I have been fortunate to find a 1992 model bike being srapped but has a 4 into 1. Even thought hat isn't the original exhaust, would anyone know if the original would fit a 1994 model even though its an after market one? ( My theory is that if the original one fitted, then the aftermarket one wouls also fit therefore fit the later model one 1994 one)

Hi, I am in need of an exhaust but it has been very difficult to find a decent second hand one however, I was forwarded this one and was wandering if anyone had any idea that it may fit my bike. The difference being is that the one i am thinking of buying is for a 1993 model and my bike is a 1994. I am interested in it as it is almost new and at a bargain price.

might be worth emailing this person see if they got a good exhaust http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/suzuki-gsx-60 ... t_36wt_922

Could be good....cheers

Hello all fellow enthusiasts, I have a 1994 Suzuki Gsx600f. I need an exhaust but cant seem to fine one, i would like to know whether any other exhaust may fit this particular bike second hand or new, if any one can find any decent prices/websites etc for either 4 into 2 or 4 into 1 systems that would be great. I Should say that the only one i can find is a shade over £300 so anything that beats that price would be fantastic, cheers all bikerrrrs

Does anyone know if any suitable aftermarket parts would work? Do they do such things? As for messing with my current fairings, never thought about it but its a possiblity.

Hi all bikers,

I would like to tease your knowledge and ask if anyone knows if i am able to change the garnish (fairings lol) by using another bikes fairings on my bike which is a 1994 Suzuki gsx600f, i heard that maybe a gsxr or similar, of the same cc (not necessarily year), could be a good match...any ideas including years, that would be suitable too? cheers all

Are chains/ sprockets universal for cc size eg 600 chain and sprockets would fit any 600 cc bike?

HI all Bikers,

Im looking to replace sprockets and chain on my bike 1994 suzuki gsx600f (katana) and was wandering if anyone can provide links for me, i have tried to look but unsure to which one to get, im no bike fixerer lol so try not to baffle me with science, many thanks for all your time

try RS bike paint

http://www.rsbikepaint.com/en-gb/colours.php#makeid=142

stay away from halfords and general paint supplies make sure you use one who knows about bike paints as others will just do as you tell them and once you have paid its game over

Only one problem with this site, the fact that it doesn't show you the colour you choose so still unsure, as for the other site, i have used that one before but like i said, the fairing on my bike now is different from the original one so it wouldn't be accurate anyway.

I know the fairings on the bike now is from a 600 gsxf as it has it on the side of the fairing but as to which year, i don't know.

yes your bike is carbed but I doubt that is the problem

it sounds electrical and when its damp its missfiring

the plug leads are right on top of the motor and go deep down in to the head you have rubber washers around the plug caps to keep water out

also some bikes have a weep hole on each port to allow water to drain out if yours has these make sure they are clear

WD40 is good to see if it is the problem but a bit of electrical grease in fact normal grease will be better around the caps

dont use vaseline as some contain petroleum which will eat away at the rubber eventually

It's not misfiring although i will still use a bit of wd40 in it's special places lol.

It's usually on the VIN plate. Stick the steering on full lock and check the head tube.

I wouldn't go to Halfords though, best bet is try a decent spray shop.

I only want a touch up, that's all,hence why i want to do it myself however the fairings have changed just before i bought the bike, originally red now it is this kind of blue, i have had a look through all the colours available for a 1995 bike but not for my year (1994) as it doesn't go back that far http://www.colorrite.com/product/suzuki ... e-1714.cfm but the colour is very similar to the link. Do you know if earlier or later fairings would fit my year bike? If so that could make it easier to trace the colour better.

Hi all Bikers,

I am trying to find out the colour of my fairings, i know that they are not original to the bike, went to Halfords and they said they need a code. Is there a way to find out this code? Is it printed on theinside of the fairings for example or is there aplace or website i can use to determine what colour my bike is. If not, does anyone know of other fairings which would definately fit my bike (1994 suzuki gsx600 f ) Cheers in advance for any help

Or the wet causing one of the HT leads to track down to ground a bit......have a spray round the coils and HT leads with a little bit of WD40......

Now on a car that wouldnt be a problem but on a bike, i am useless, i haven't taken the fairing off too see though, does my bike have a carb? could that be a possibility as well?

Hi all Bikers,

I noticed the other day when I was in the middle of a downpour the bike really started to judder, not sure if water got somewhere but probably. I would like to try and find out where the water has got in and what to do about it, would anyone have any good suggestions? I should say that i am not very technically minded when it comes to bike so nothing too technical please...i know how to start it and thats about it lol.

The bike has also has the same problem after all that rain we had....it was covered outside (don't have a garage) but when it had cleared up a bit, i took it out and the juddering was there for a while.

Cheers all for your expertise.

1994 Suzuki GSXF 600.

Custom stuff is usually not that cheap - can you get one that nearly fits and do a bit of modification?

Well i am unsure how to even go about that, unsure as to which one to get, how to measure etc etc

Looking for any rideouts from the plymouth area? Unsure if there are any or if anyone knows of any upcoming events

so any one in south devon ?

I hail from Plymouthshire...on 600, but weather is shockingly Shit!

Hi folks, i am wandering if anyone knows if there is a rack and box available somewhere that would fit a 1994 suzuki katana 600? I have looked and been unsucessful. If not how much roughly would it cost to have one (a rack) made? cheers all easy riders.
