Floyd Fullard very good tip! I wish I would have done that step! :)

wheres the oil pin located i cannot find it i just want to add oil

Bailey Ridgeway Right side, right above the little window to check how much is in there. There's a panel with one bolt in it to screw open then a cap and that's where it goes in

illegal tacos thank so much bud couldnt get answer anywhere

Hey Floyd and Ben: I'd take the top screw off before draining - to make sure you can! If you drain it then find you can't take the filler screw out - you aren't driving this anywhere...

I'm no expert by any stretch, but the easiest way to tell is to look for a radiator inside that intake in the front fairing.

Abraham Smith Thank you and yep that is an 06, also known as the Final Year of the Kat.

Josh Gore stand the bike up straight then look, maybe that helps

Check out the Katriders website. Read all the post they all say something different. I did mine at 2 turn . Runs good it’s not a gixxer but it’s no slow cow. It’s moves and takes me wherever I want to go with plenty of gas to spare

Great Dogdad Thanks! :)

I have a 06 Kat and use 10-40.

kenny Miller It's an oil filter wrench. I have three different wrenches from all the oil changes, the last couple filters have had rachet holes built into them, which requires nothing special! The best way to know what you need is to take the filter out at the point of purchase to see if you need a specific wrench.

Larry Harlem It is definitely possible. If your bike is strictly air-cooled, possibly switching to a higher octane fuel can help with that as higher octane fuel burns at a lower temperature. I had an old Volkswagen that would overheat all the time unless I filled it with premium. But oil still is a critical part of cooling the inside of the motor. :)

Ben Fixes Everything! I have the exact same bike I was reading up and it says it is oil cooled this is my first bike so I'm trying to figure out why it's over heating

I would definitely start with fresh oil, and make sure it is full (but do not overfill it!). Make sure all the cylinder head cooling fins are in good shape and are clean, those directly cool the cylinders, and lastly I would clear out the fuel and try a higher octane. I personally cycle through one tank of 88, one tank of 92 and back to 88. I've never run the lowest fuel and I've never had an issue even on 100 degree days. I'll keep thinking on it for you, tho.

Ben Fixes Everything! Thanks man I appreciate the feed back and info.

Raptor Factory Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40. Its the sport bike brand you can pick up at automotive stores. The first couple were done with Genuine Suzuki oil....and the price was a little ridiculous. :)

nice I have a katana 750 engine on a 2 person small buggy its basiclly a frankenstein, im traing to make it work again do you know the order for the coils tu the sparkplugs? i have it se to be left coil 1 and 4 and right coil 2 and 3 but im not that sure

Raptor Factory That sounds so dope, man! I really haven't messed with the ignition system, so I don't know exactly what the firing order would be. I'm sure some Google-Fu would show some pretty good diagrams.

thanks bro I have been checking around but no luck but i think I got them right haha, i have a lot of work to do with the ignition and stuff havent turned on the engine jet but i hope the CDI and coils work fine, keep it up bro
