    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

650 Katana help needed

I have in my garage at the moment an '83 I believe 650 katana.
The owner connected jumper leads up "arse about" and managed to do some damage to the loom.
Spent a bit of time last night pulling the knackered loom out.
There is all manner of weird stuff going on. The bike had one voltage regulator rectifier, a rectifier and a regulator! As well as a lot of other craziness...
I have checked "Basscliff's" site and found a wiring diag for a 650G (not a Kat) but I don?t think that will be an issue.
Can?t seem to find a manual for the Kat, sadly.
I would be forever grateful if a member here who has a 650 Kat could post some pictures of the way the electric components are mounted on the bike.
Specifically under the seat, on and around the air box and on and around the battery box.
Here is a picture of the bike to give you an idea of what I am dealing with.

Regulator fits under the battery box.

Here's a few pics from when I stripped mine down, If you require any more give me a shout and I'll get some done.

Are you talking to me or Walt?
If you are talking to me, then yeah that is what I would do if it were my bike.
Unfortunately it isn't my bike.
The owner just wants it to run.
I have thought about making the owner an offer on the bike though......
Cheers
