Hiya all! Just looking for some bits on a Katana 250 - does anyone know if the full brake assembly (master cylinders to calipers) for front and rear are the same as the GSF250F Across? I suspect it does but I've never owned either - scoping out a Katana to buy but it's missing these parts and I'm not too keen on an orphan.
Hey Murdo. Not really hey, I need the part numbers for GSX250S and I can't find a microfiche or PDF available online. Webike has hard copy parts manuals in stock, I may have to bite the bullet and get one for a bike I don't own. Already got Across parts manuals.
Theres GSX parts catalogues here .... I would think the basics of all the models of that time would be the same http://2fiftycc.com/index.php?resources/categories/gs250-gsx250.34/
here are a couple in Japan http://www.jauce.com/auction/c563985661 http://www.jauce.com/auction/e200968426 http://www.jauce.com/auction/s446269332
Thanks Grey - I would suspect the same thing from what I've seen on Jap bikes and cars but if it's no good that's a 170kg paperweight until I find the right bits. Hey Murdo - tried CMSL but they don't seem to do many JDM only models but they are very good at what they do - I got some parts recently for my WR200 (another orphan) that are unavailable new anywhere else and at a reasonable price. Kiffsta! That auction site is great! I'm looking for parts for a Y31 Gloria also, that will come in ultra handy. The year model is 1991 but they were only a 2 year production run anyhow. I'll buy the bike at the end of the week then. Thanks for the help fellas! If I hang onto it, I'll put it up in project bikes!
Check this out also .... may help with the parts hunt http://2fiftycc.com/index.php?threads/online-sites-for-parts-and-accessories.3736/ Heres something else to look out for ..... this is a 1985 model GSX ..... anti dive system that runs off the brake system

Excellent - no antidive! Disc size and caliper number is the same as an Across so I'm gonna blindly call that one. I see the carb differences, 2mm larger carbs on the Katana but allegedly 5hp less? (45 vs 40hp) I'm loving the limited edition decals - the whole damned thing was limited edition!
