If by "tune up" you mean synchronize, you'll need a carburetor synchronizing tool first. They are either fluid based, mechanical manometer ones or electronic. Search for "carburetor synchronizer". You'll need to take the tank off and hook up a temporary fuel supply (rig it up or buy an external tank). For oil cooled engines like your GSXR/Katana/Bandit that have no fan you will also need a strong external fan to cool it.

This engine has four carburetors and they are synchronized in pairs. Small Philips head screws are located between the carbs. Hook up the sync tool to the vacuum nipples on the carbs. Hook up the external tank. Warm up the engine. Using the idle adjustment knob, raise the engine speed to recommended rpm. Using a screwdriver, adjust so that cylinders 1 and 2 are on the same level (the exact level does not matter). Do the same for 3+4. At last, use the middle screw to eliminate the difference between left (1-2) and right (3-4) pairs.

That's pretty much it. A cursory search on Katana specific forums or Google will yield plenty of more detailed instructions and videos. This is an easy job. The hardest part is hooking everything up, but even that is hard to do wrong.

SOURCE: I just bought a suzuki gsx 600f from 1993. It is to high.

There are lowering kits available for the rear suspension then you need to drop the frt the same amount that you drop the rear,you can drop the frt by loosing the frt triple tree clamps and using a ruler let the forks come up through the same amount that you drop the rear(this will help keep the bike from over steer.

SOURCE: where do i put oil in a 2000 suzuki gsx 600f

Hey pal, do you have a dipstick for checking the oil or a sight glass on the lower part of the engine ? Either one , you have a cap with a raised edge so you can grasp it w/your fingers and unscrew it. If it's too tight i use an adjustable wrench or crescent wrench. This hole is where you pour oil in. Check the sightglass or dipstick before doing so OK?....Good Luck to you !.....Tim

I had a similar problem with my Vulcan years ago, it turned out to be the Ignition Wires. Check to see if you get spark while the bike is hot.

Why did my 97 katana gsx 600f lose power after i changed spark plugs?

Pull those spark plugs back out and check the gap, Charles. If they don't have the correct gap, they'll work poorly. If the gap is a LONG way from correct, they won't fire at all.
