Thanks Chris! I really appreciate all the work you and your crew did on my Katana, it sounds amazing and I'll be riding it in a couple hours when I get back home. Thanks again for all the hospitality!
It definitely sounds good
Where in Kansas are you from? SE, NE or western Kansas?
@@jeffreyhinman1397 I'm in the Kansas City area.
@@cycletron I’m down in southeast Kansas. Been up there quite a bit to street races and have a blast when I do. Ride up 2 hours and race on the bike. It’s a long straight highway there lmao
@@jeffreyhinman1397 Hwy 69!
Love mine. Full Yoshimura race system. Set up, dyno’d, makes 160bhp. UK
A Katana was my first bike many years ago. Loved that thing, but one day at a biker bbq someone told me it was a girls bike lol. I was heart broken. Sold it a year later for a gsxr. I like these new Katana's and didn't even know they still made that model.
They stopped making the Katana in the early 2000's. The second generation katana was actually quite a different bike than the initial Katana Gsx1100. The new katana was released in 2020 in the US, probably earlier in EU/UK. Seems like they are hit and miss with them TBH. They have a 2020, but I've never seen a 2021, 2022, or 2023 in the states. The current 2024 edition is actually the 2023 European spec and from what I gather is limited production. Brand new it retails around $14k. I remember the type Katana you had man. I'll be honest with you and in my opinion it was a soft GSXR, detuned and rounded edges. That was a pretty crappy thing for that dude to say, must be insecure 😅😅
Was there no baseline run? Would’ve been cool to see how restricted it was due to the air box.
I wasn't expecting so much power from that bike. That is insane. Great to see the customers on your channel.
where i live out in the country a silent bike is your best bet for evading police.(noise is a police magnet) you can hear the loud bikes for miles in any direction & fairly easy to track what road your on.whether they can catch you is a different story.why give away your position to the enemy thru unneeded noise.who will most likely revoke your liscence if he does catch you.
Me enemy is the inattentive cager, to which I'd prefer to let them know I'm coming.
It's sounding wicked bro. I love it!! Great job Chris.
Sound quality on the bikes is good but your voice and overall sound while talking sounds a little tin can like. Hard to describe but could tell right away when the video started. Love watching these, quality is still good just letting you know
Yeah I thought the same thing. It sounds like I might need to take the foam off the mic.
I had a 1982 model when they first came out and compared to the rest of the lineup this one looked like a friggin' space ship!
I had one of these bikes. They are pretty awesome.
My very first motorcycle was a 1993 katana 600 red for $3,000. It was a great beginner bike for me! Moved on to an 06 cbr600rr and now 07 gsxr750. Love the videos thank you for the effort and insight!!
Katana has come a long way. That bike looks clean and sounds even better with the Brocks on there. 👍🏿
Man great video!! That bike sounds very nice with the Brock’s exhaust!!
Amazing Video Quality! Good Job
Hey bro everything is up 100% top quality all round and a very good Investment .just keep them great works coming . always love your vedios even when I couldn't hear what you was saying most of the time.but now bro up up up up ❤️💯👌✊💪⛽
Oh man Chris… Awesome. I've been waiting for this. Sweet. OK back to the video for me.
Sound quality is great nice and clear
Great work man, the Mafia does it again 👏🏻
Fun fact : Chris Use to have a yellow Katana as a drag bike. And yes it was fast. Keep up the great work very proud of you.
Love the ECU flash, I might be needing that🔥😎🇺🇸
Definitely Like the Newer Kat, I still have my 89 Black Katana 1100.
I Just picked up a new Gen3 Busa, 2022 Silver/Red a few weeks ago, did the first service yesterday.
Owning a few Busas including my Gen 1 Turbo busa, now I see someone that can do some work on mine soon.
Keep up the Good Content, SC isn't too far from Dallas Texas. ;)
Boost! It's whats up...
Bike sounds good and I like the new look of the bike.
I love the sound💪🏽
I had a 2008 GSX750F - What fun. This one is awesome!
Dude I have the same one!!!! Finally the mafia got one!
Love it, i just purchased the same
Bike. I want to set an appt up with you to bring my bike down from jersey todo the same. Will be reaching out soon. Keep up the great work
its a short trip spirited back road rider, Sport touring....not so much, but looks nostalgic for sure with some modern touches
I had a 94 back in the day. Loved it. Had a lot of fun on it. Sold it because I got walked by an R6 lol. I've learned a ton about bikes since then.
This one has about 40hp more than the R6. Definitely not gonna get walked on.
That's a sharp bike but that Suzy badge is HUGE. Another great Mafia vid.
Love the video quality
I just bought a new busa, but have a 2020 katana and am having a hard time putting up for sale. It's such a great bike
I really want this bike!! I love it!!
Perfect quality all the way around
I had a feeling that you would have dealt with the Katana, that's great news. I'm going to pick up a 24' and basically fix it just like this. Full exhaust, air box/Filter and ECU. Damn son, that Katana sounds mad as hell!!! Looking forward to this! I sold my last liter bike about 5 years ago and gave up riding the big nakeds. The Katana has been on my Radar as well as the GSXS 1K for a couple years, and I'm ready to get ready for spring. I might just ride up there, or trailer the bike maybe. I'm down in GA, so not far.
I love Brock exhausts!!
I own the katana that Brock’s did a video on similar hp numbers and I can say it’s an amazing bike
Very true Charles .
PLEASE turn one of these into a drag bike!
Mate your new mic set up is like your talking down a pringles tube and the camera I preferred the old one.
What did you use before I need that set up lol.
FYI Sound quality is way off. Great video nevertheless.
Audio/video is good chris
Freaking love it!
Digging the retro street fighter style Blast from the Past 🤟☝️👆🤘🙌⚡🏍️👀🇺🇸🤝💥💯🤗😎💪love from Miami Beach 🏖️ FL USA Sky Champion on Powamoto 🤟
Yo Chris can you do a video on Honda CB500 series of bikes and your tunes?
I love the new Katana and waiting to see the latest model with all the updates the GSXS 1000 got. Love Brock’s exhaust but I think that one is way too loud. Needs a longer can to take it down a bit and it may even pick up more power
Can't stop my new katana from wheel standing and shredding the rear tyre when cold not sure it needs more balls than stock, tail tidy got rid of a few kgs and looks better, cheers.
Definitely some audio issues here Chris! We are in a fish bowl! As far as the content; I LOVE the new Katana! Honestly it seems very similar to my Bandit 1250S (other than the exhaust servo) it has many of the same restrictions and fixes. The lighter weight and updated suspension probably give it considerable edge, it's really only slightly down on torque in comparison but then nearly 30HP ahead. As far as touring goes, it just needs a windscreen or you'll be blown around a lot. I'd really like to get my hands on one!
Sounds are too high pitched and sounds like he said fish bowel …I’d go back to the old camera
My friend has a bandit 1250 and I've ridden his bike several times the Handling is leaps and bounds better on the Katana being a GSXR frame and swing arm. And when we raced I was able to pull away pretty good even with a passenger. I like the bandit alot tho great bike smooth good highway gearing comfortable and torqey
The only thing I have done to my 2020 so far is remove the elf ears turn signals and get some flat ones that blend in so much more. I just wish I could get a more comfortable seat for it.
I've been debating grabbing one of these for so long now, I love the look of it
Me too, I just get frustrated when the dealers are asking retail price and the damn bike is 3 years old leftover by this point.
@@BreakStuffClub yuuuppppp I currently have a cbr650r but this just feels a little more comfortable and unless I go for a straight up touring machine, I need something like my bike or naked like this because I ride so much
I've owned a Katana for about 3600 hundred miles. The fuel capacity thing really isn't annoying and the bike is awesome
It looks good. I'm not much of a Suzuki fan so this is unbiased.
clear video awesome .... is katana K5 motor?????
Yeah Audio is not as good as Normal. It does sound like muffled at times but overall great video full of solid results and info 👍
Sweet looking bike
The Guys Reaction @ 4:10:
Oh Shit....I forgot to install that Gasket 👀
Hopefully there's something you can do with the tail light, just doesn't look right. Your new GoPro is working fine very clear picture 👍
I would love to mail my ecu to you to do the same work. I own a 2020 katana as well. Super fun bike. Checking in from Az
Before you mentioned the new camera/mic I noticed at the beginning that it kinda sounds like your talking through a coffee can, or possibly a mono sound.I'm listening on a very high end home theater/quadraphonic system so these things are very noticeable.
How did the new sprockets compare to the stock ones as to the number of teeth?
Thanks for the video!
Did I miss it?
I did not hear why the sprockets were changed?
Less RPM at highway speeds, better acceleration, more top speed???
audio is a little rough but the video looks great. not sure what you use to edit your videos but some echo reduction would help
Videos look great, just as good as that bike sounds.
Hey can you do the 2022 Suzuki GSX-S1000GT
I must say those can a tuna’s have come along way .🤙🏼🤙🏼
I need to get back out to Cacalac. Just so damn far...I want the Dyno tune!!
There's a couple problems with the title.
No naked bikes are great sport bikes due to wind bashing you around past 130kph. (A sport rider is often well over this)
The second problem re touring on this bike is the 12L fuel tank...
The gsxs1000 has a 17L tank as most 1000s do.
I found 200kms was really as good as I got on the open road.
Great bike to ride with a very usable motor etc.
I always found the throttle to be very smooth at all rpm coming on and off the throttle.
I only mentioned that due to what was in this video.
Kawasaki rolled in with their 1000SX sport tourer and said "Hold my beer!"
Omg this is beautiful
Hi. That Katana sounds monsterish ! I wonder why it has all those throttle restrictions? Isnt that on purpose? For exaple to limit some vibrations and save the crankshaft? Or just some eco shit? 😅
Is it possible to remap the ECU of Duke 890 R for pops and bangs?
Nekkid bike content, yes sir!! Love the Katana. Always wondered if I'm too tall for it or not. Never seen one on the road.
I'm 6'2 and it's okey. Great bike. Amazing in fast corners .
6'3" here and I second this man's statement.
Looks like my GSXS1000 .. witch is a blast on the streets
Been a Suzuki fan my whole life! Always had gixxer 1000 but decided to go with a s1000rr to setup and want it tuned by the best! Chris moore why do you not tune the s1000rr ? Makes me regret getting one knowing you don’t even tune the ecu lol
Can you address the vids of sprint air filters letting dust through?
Not interested in making noise as i use this bike on daily basis/ have neighbours/ am mature rider. However removing certain factory limitations whilst keeping the stock cat in the pipe might be good
I just sold my '88 Katana 1100 a few months ago, and love the looks of the new ones. My preference is the black with red, and if I was a young guy I might have one, but the small fuel capacity would no doubt bug me after a while. Being 70 I find that exhaust a bit too loud, but like the system over the looks of the stock one.
I Still have my 1989 Black with Kraus Bags and Yoshi exh.
Been a minute since I rode it I think it was 2014.
@@Busafied They were amazing bikes. Mine also had the Suzuki/Krauser hard luggage which was a pretty rare option. Only sold it because the wife and I are retiring to our condo in the Philippines a bit more than a month from now.
@@Busafied I have a blue and white 1986 gsxr 1100
@@Shane-zx4ps I'd like to see that one
I have one someone painted on the lift in storage where it has been since 2009
Subframe auxiliary tank could be easily fabricated...put the pump in there, with a billet plug for the fuel gauge sender?
When unlocking things in the ecm will it affect the tc system?
Can you flash a quad ecu and turn off the dec fuel cut ?
Dang i would have like to have known how much it did before you installed the exhaust, filter and opened up the air box :(
Should have dyno it in stock form. Should of showed the air box when finished. Camera was good and sound.
like button smashed 👊
Sport TOURING!!! Without any luggage bags
All that tech and no cruise! Come on Suzuki. It would be a major sport touring contendor, give it cruise.
Where are you located in s.c. and how much does a tune cost just a tune on a B Kink
Hi Chris, that Katana looks pretty good. I had one of the first 1100cc Katan's when they first came out. Dragged it stock standard and did a 9:94.
I smashed my legs up in a big off and now ride a Boulevard as my legs don't bend enough to get on sports bikes. But do you have a flash card I can buy for the Boulevard as the air filter and exhaust has been changed. It's doing the full on full off stuff. I saw you were doing a Boulevard awhile ago and solved that problem.
Please can you send me how to get and pay for the flash card or whatever it's called. Thank you Chris.
There is no way a stock 1100 Katana from the early 1980’s would ever do a sub 10 second pass standard, not even with Chris Moore riding it. They are a cool old school bike though, and worth a lot now.
Anyone know why when dynoing bikes you have to Rev it out then do a pull? So curious
Where is this place I want to take mine to have it tuned
The sound is not right on the go pro sounds if you stand in the distance
For the katana great job done
How much does it cost to do this? I have a black n red katana
Question! Currently on a deployment but when i get back was going to send my ECU in and this Katanas setup is pretty much the same as mine! What is the price to get the same ecu flash and tune if i send it in??
Does your dyno have an Eddy brake?
Suzuki really shot themselves in the foot with that 12L fuel tank.
Yup, they can't sell these where I live due to that issue. One is marked for 8k, way under msrp, and has been in the showroom floor for 8 months+
@@Goopie48 As before, put an auxiliary tank on your subframe, easy for any decent fabricator? Blend it in with bodywork!
The katana looks pretty cool but it's a model that I don't really understand since Suzuki also has the gsxf line up. Seems way to similar.
Vortex aluminium sprocket, why? The weight savings is not worth the short life span to me.they dont last as long as a rear tire.
Comment on video/audio quality:
There is some room reflection in the audio, it's not a huge deal but maybe a lav mic might isolate your voice a bit better and get less of that echo off the walls, just had a little google and rode make a "RODE wireless go 2", so you could wear a lav mic that is connected to the gopro wirelessly and doing it like that would be easier than having to sync audio from a separate device for every video, should come out of the camera just the same, video with audio.
Absolutely agree mate. I bought the Rode Wireless Go 2 just recently because audio is so important. The camera's exposure, contrast and sharpness was good but the built in mic not good.
Never seen anyone strain so hard lifting 35 lbs 😆
the baseline pull should have been done with the stock exhaust in my opinion for those people who would get an aftermarket exhaust to improve the bike. Like this, it is for the people who get the exhaust for the sound no matter what the improvement to stock would be, mainly just to have the bike running properly with the new blink. I never see a dyno of the stock exhaust as baseline pull, mostly explained with time constrains. Is it possible that the gains would not be that dramatic?
Baseline pulls with factory are approx 135rwhp, my 2020 Katana with full Yoshi system and tune 155rwhp
Video quality improved,, audio looks like same but loud
The new camera doesn't seem like a good mic. I mostly listen to your videos while I do things, I figured you were using your phone for this video until you said something.
Curious to see what you could do with my 2020 triumph rocket 3. I’ve been told numerous things from other rocket owners as far as a simple ecu flash really waking the bike up
Me too
something that I always think about when I see tunings like this. It looks amazing, free extra power seemingly out of nowhere... but is it? will the fuel consumption increase after the tune? will the engine life (or other parts) be shorter? And those restrictions, I doubt the engineers just put them there willy nilly. Was it for emission purposes ? to protect some components maybe ? I am not bashing on tuning here, just trying to understand. And this might be especially valid for suzuki since they are known for polishing to annoyance their products.
The majority of restrictions are for emissions, noise and to a lesser degree, fuel economy. You are not getting free power from nowhere. It's power that was already there, but restricted by air flow and factory ECU settings.
Oh yeah!
Holy crap that looks like the first gen kat
