2006 Suzuki GSX 750 F (Katana) - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Question edited for clarity, full 'year make model'. My guess is a problem with the Mikuni Carburetors and a torn or damaged diaphragm. https://www.google.com/search?q=Mikuni+BSR36 https://www.google.com/search?q=2006+Katana+750+cuts+out+closing+throttle+fast ..

take it to a mechanic mate.

Take a plug out, plug it back into the plug boot and place the other threaded end against the engine.Now crank the engine over with the starter, you should see a nice strong spark. If you have spark the problem is either fuel or air related.If you leave fuel in the tank all winter without a strong dose of fuel stabilizer you more than likely have gunked up carbs or injectors . pull of the air cleaner and rubber boots and check for a blockage. Engines need 3 things to run air,fuel,spark.

Check the power regulator from the alternator to the battery line.

The chain is worn out.

The Katana is Not the best bike for learning wheelies. It is nearly 100 pounds heavier than 750gxr and has a longer wheel base, which means you will require more energy/force to bring front wheel off the ground. I've had an 1100 '93 and a 600 '03 Katana and only once did I get either into a wheelie, primarily because I never tried. The 1100 wheelied on me on a quarter mile race strip when I dumped the clutch and gunned it in an attempt to beat my buddy in the 1/4 mile. It was too heavy, veered left and scared the bejeesus outta me. If you have access to a lighter, shorter race type bike, learn on it. Otherwise, I wouldn't suggest learning on a Sport Touring bike unless you can afford to wreck it and have medical insurance. Hate to give the "be careful" advice, but its best to use tools for the purpose they are best fit: enjoy smoother longer cruises than the gxr or cbr guys and be thankful that your teeth and hands don't rattle when you get off after a 20 minute ride. I used to cruise between Sarasota and Tampa at high speeds and would feel fresh and relaxed after an hour. Didn't even know how obnoxious the sport bikes are til I rode one for 10 minutes. No thanks.

You don't adjust it. It has an automatic tensioner which you should replace with a new one. You also need to take off your valve's head cover and measure the camsaft chain's pins distances if itshould be replaced as well. Consult your service manual for accurate measurements. If your camshaft's chain need to be replaced then you should replace the tensioner side chain's guide because it wears out with the chain together as one part.

carbs are dirty try this spray starter fulid only 2 to 3 sprays do not exseadmore if that works run it if not running right pull carbs off and bowls clean them do not touch any more then that if you dont know what your doing

under seat right befor gas tank there two black boxes its the one on the right

make sure kick stand is up

A blown fuse is highly likely.

Idle issues can be fuel/air (mixture ratio) or igition (spark strength). It sounds like an air restriction issue. If there is no blockage throught the air inake/filter, make sure you adjust the jets to specifications and make sure there are no float issues with the carbs.

You need to check the main fuse. You have to get to the battery and follow the main positive cable from the battery until you find the first junction box. This box will be the starter relay and under a cover there you will find the main fuse. Check this fuse for being bad. While you are there check all your wiring to the starter relay and out to the starter. Here also you should find the main fuse box. so check all the fuses so you get to know where things are.
