|  1995 Suzuki Katana 600 won't keep running
I bought a used Katana 600 this weekend. It has the K & N jet kit, K & N exhaust and K & N air filter. When I bought the bike, it ran ok but the guy told me it needed to be driven hard and blown out because it had been sitting for a while. Boy was he right. I drove it hard and afterwardsm this thing screamed. Drove the rest of the night with no problem. I started it the next day and drove it again with no problem. Noticed I needed more gas so I pulled over to a gas station and filled up on 93 octane gas. Started the bike and ran it for about 5 minutes and it died. Now it won't run continuious for over 3 minutes, hard to start and idles very rough. THe bike has always had problems idling rough out of first gear. I really had to wind it up a bit to take off in first. After that, it ran fine. Now after the fill up, it doesn't run continously at all plus, it idles rough. Could it be plugs? Can you guys suggest where I should start? Please Help |
