Suzuki Katana 50

recently bought a suzuki katana as a bit of a project becasue its not in perfect condition, its a 2002 52 plate liquid cooled. any one know what engine is in it so i can start ordering my parts? thanks

 

sr 50 and aerox parts fit

 

all aerox parts, or just ones previous or after a certain year?

 

Its a minarelli engine and there are loads of parts for them under aerox catogerys

 

i thought it was a morini engine?

 

it is a morini, not a minarelli, therefore ROX parts Won't fit.

some SR50 parts will as for a few years aprilia used to suzuki powerplant.

 

only thing that a katana will fit an aerox or vicer versa is the speedo cable, they are exactly the same length

yeah the katana uses the franco morini engine not minarelli, like primark and prada

 

haha so its not a very good engine?

 

yh its definetly not a minarelli , a morini makes more sense

Aerox FTW

 

not really.

its not very refined and isn't widely used as a tunable motor.

 

I must be wrong but Im sure I can remember seeing katana when lookin for aerox parts

 

checked all the models listed on bikepics.com and all stock katanas on there are the morini motor, easy way to tell is by the tranny case.

the minarelli one goes the whole length of the transmission, the morini one goes to about 2 inches from the back.

Morini:

 

fully derestricted they do no more than 40 - 45mph on the clock, yeh and as wobbly said the easy way is to look at the end of the tranny case i thought my mate had broke his case or something when I looked it at first, the standad suzuki katana pipe comes in two pices aswell
