I brought my suzuki ay50 for £340 and it's never let me down once ( apart from faulty spark plug costs £3 to fix ) it looks great and is very fun to ride. My mates have scooters and not one is nearly as fast off the mark, it can beat cars off the line at traffic light etc. the only problem I have ever had is when it's cold it would take a while on the starter motor to start ( 30+ seconds ) but I found out the auto choke was not connected proberly and now starts fine every time. I highly... (read more)

i got this bike for E250 , when i got it it needed a new battery and indicators, also the body was damaged bad enough. but once i fixed up those things and i gave i a new custom paint job ,it was ruining nicely. it does about 65km/h max speed on a straight road with barley any wind. but here is a good tip. you sould all ways store your motor bike / scooter inside a shed or if you dont have one use a rain cover because if you dont you will have to change the seals on the gasket every few...

Sounds like the restricter is still on your bike! You need to see a Suzuki dealer to see if it's has been removed at the CID unit!
Written on: 09/01/2013
if it has a standard exhaust then that will have the restrictor in it as i have this bike and i have got a aftermarket straight through race pipe on it and it does around 45 - 50 mph i have been told to take the restrictor out of the air filter but as the bike is on high revs as it is and is screaming the knackers off of it and top end so i would just recommend getting a new exhaust..

I bought my 2004 Suzuki Katana as project and had to spend alot on plastics. Mine is an air cooled model and as standard had no engine problems. After replacing exhaust with gianelli race exhaust, changing rollers and placing a 70cc malossi bore kit, I have been through two drive belts and recently had to replace the coil but the bike still does not run. Replacing the piston rings is my next solution. Overall the bike is fantastic for acceleration but not top speed with the air cooled Model.... (read more)

hi if it only hittig 50mph downhill im guessing theres a restrctor somewhere as you say 1st place id look is the exhaust you bouht as when you buy them they are restricted because of the law the second plac i would look is in the intake manifold as there minght be a restrctor plate there and theres usually one on the varator hope this helps

I have a 2002 Katana WRK2 which i have owned for about 8 weeks. When standard the bike has a good reliability factor but nobody wants to do 35mph everywhere. I fitted a Tecnigas exaust and 4.9 gram rollers and the top speed is now 50, but it's the way it gets there, none of my mates peds can get to 50 faster than mine.
There seems to be a general trend that the CDI is restricted within Katana's, this is true but only for the earlier models.
Also try and avoid Ditech models as they make...
