Why are the bullet connectors on my Suzuki Katana so bad?
I don’t. One of the major contributing factors to an ill performing bike is corroded contacts. Those bullet connectors are harbingers of corrosion. Oh yeh, over heated terminals as well, thanks to Suzuki’s legendary poor charging system.
Why are the LEDs not working on my katana?
LEDs do not have enough resistance to actuate the Katana relay. The signal control module on under the left side cover is not needed for the signals to work. It is part of the auto cancel system. If that is not working anyway, or you don’t care about it, remove it and save some weight and room.
Where does the wiring come from on a katana?
Make sure all your contacts are clean and don’t expect to much from your thirty year old wiring harness. There are three phases (wires) coming from the stator and plugging in under your seat. Connect all three wires directly to the regulator bypassing the wire that goes up to the kill switch plug and back down again.
Do you need a kill switch for a katana?
The kill switch is a very easy upgrade also. When using flatslide carbs you need to use a push/pull throttle which requires a slimmer kill switch assembly. These stock unites are getting scarse. I like the SPA ($500.00) or Vapor ($150.00) clocks in place of the stock Katana instruments.
