Hey guys, now I have a 1983 750 Katana that is a Jap import brought into new Zealand 5 yrs ago.
Now from what I have learnt the import is down on power compared to the NZ new model... so were are the power restrictions? I'm thinking cams and carbs, if so how do they differ?
As I am planning on racing this bike in post classics I wouldnt mind getting a bit more power out of it... cheers all
 
come on guys some one must know... how about some of the US modles, some were restricted in HP wernt they or was that the Canadian bikes?
 
It was usually cam profiles that made most of the difference in hp numbers. It would take some digging but I have a magazine or two that detailed the differences. The trouble is I probably have a thousand bike mags I'd have to dig through. An internet search may be the easiest way to find out.
 
The big question is,

What does the class allow in terms of modifications?

You can always get different carbs and cams for more power
