I'm planning to put a YZF600 Thundercat ('98-'03) front end on my RZ350 and am wondering what parts interchange with R6 (more people must fall off R6's as there are way more used parts out there). I guess what I'm after is; -Can I put a Thudercat wheel in R6 forks? -What are the axle diameters? -Do R6 calipers bolt on to Thundercat forks ('98-'03)? Thanks

Would like to know if anyone has fitted ba risers to their cat and do they make any real worthwhile difference. I been looking on E bay for ages and they dont seem to come up, is this an indication that no one uses them. They only lift the bars 18mm which is a very small amount

Is it possible to add a different top yoke and coventional bars to a TC for more upright riding

Hi all. Ive got a Thundercat and have lately have been thinking about buying a set of aftermarket clip ons, and setting them under the yoke as opposed to the standard ones being above. Am i able to do this? Has anyone done it and how did they find it? Cheers

Hi everyone.. I have a 96 Thundercat, the silver and yellow one. I'm not too keen on the yellow and would like to change the colour. The front mud guard is not such a problem as i can just replace this with a black one. I have noticed that the yellow on the lower fairing and side panels seem to be declals rather than painted on. Does any one know if and how to remove these. If any one has already done this can you let me know if the fairing is painted underneath. Failing this can anyone direct me to anywhere who supplies replacement decals to put over the top... Cheers, Richard

Hi, I have just found an exhaust clamp bolt missing from the head of my Cat. Does anyone know a good place to get new (Stainless) ones? Hopefully for decent money. thanks

I'm new to the road bike world but i've just started learning CBT on SAt and a few lessons then off for a 5 day DAS in a few weeks. i'm quiet stocky and looking fro my first real road bike. i did like the GSXR600 or R6 but seam too small for me, and i have been told a little too daft for my first bike. i was recomended a thundercat but i can find much out about them. would they be recomended as a started sports bike? are they that much slower that the others? i.e will it struggle to keep up with my mate CBR600RR? please help.. just got change of a cheap cosmetic damaged thundercat ... cheers

Hi out there. Replacing the fork oil on my Thundercat and although I have the air-gap for the level, this is taken with the spring out. Does anyone know the capacity in cc/ml so I can refill without a full strip-down? Many thanks.

Hi all, Ive got a Thundercat 2002 year. Im looking for fully adjustable levers, but cant seem to find any. I dont mind if they are the short ones or long ones. Went to M&P today and they have trak tech, but dont list any for my bike. Anyone know where i might get some? Cheers

Hi In need of some help please. Recently brought a 1997 yzf600r thundercat which is brilliant! But im only 5'5" and need to lower it. do i have to buy a lowering kit for it, or is the suspension adjustable already? Thanks pj

Can some kind soul with a Thundercat please take a measurement for me? I need to know the front rotor spacing, ie. outside of left rotor to outside of right rotor, in millimeters. Contemplating a swap. Cheers

Hi Im 53 and use to upright riding Harley BMW TDM. I keep looking at thundercats reason, to say i've been there and done it before I get to old. What r they like are they too much on thr rists any comments please.

been away from biking for a while and just got back into it. got myself a 96 yzf thundercat. I'm a nightmare for lettting the petrol run low so was wondering... can any one tell me roughly how many miles are left in the tank when he light comes on.. cheers

Just put my deposit down on a 52 plate Thundercat... so I'm just after a few pointers for living with it... Bike will mostly be used for commuting / distance work so I'll be racking the miles up. I'm thinking of either Pirelli Diablo Stradas / Bridgestone BT020's / Metzeler Z6's - any preference between these of Cat owners out there? Bearing in mind riding will include cold / wet / winter. What "quality" of oil do you guys use? I'm torn between splashing the extra on Castrol, or just sticking with Halfords as I've always used in the B12. Is it a motor that loves the cheap stuff or does it need to be mollycoddled? What kind of fuel economy / tank range …

Hi, first post here so if it's stupid please treat me gently. I have a 95 XJ 600N Diversion and both rear pistons siezed, I do schedule a strip down every year but the additional bad weather has caught me out, anyway I have managed to free one piston but the other won't budge. I have trawled the internet and contacted all the breakers that I can find but can't get one anywhere. hence the question - does anyone know if a caliper off any other bike will fit ? I have placed mine against a 02 Thundercat and apart from the pipe entry (which I can work around) they look the same. thanks Brian

Hi All, I am new to bikes, and just bought a Thundercat, What a bike! For some reason mine has a red reflector stuck to the rear numberplate - I noticed it failed on the last MOT having no Reflector so they must have stuck it on to pass. It looks rubbish and i am wondering where should it be? Thanks

Hi everyone in new to the site and been enjoying my 97 Thundercat. The problem i have got is that while i was setting the rear shock to standard settings everything was going fine until i was changing the rebound (counting the clicks),i heard a "PING" now theres no clicks and not changing to the movment of the adjuster.Adjuster just seems to just spins on the thread. The Shock really sits and pushers at the top of the travel (as though the rebound is quite high) with wooliness and doesnt settle(wholloing,like being on a waterbed).I've adjusted the rest of the the bikes settings to get around it/ not make shock the setting unrideable. Questions, Is it easily fix…

Hi there, new to the forum and looking for some advice. I recently bought a 2002 cat and although bike is prisine for its age the rear shock spring is corroded and its bugginf me. Wa looking to strip it out, clean and repaint it but I've found a company that will supply a new spring relatively cheaply. Only problem is they need the specification for the spring to supply a like for like replacement and they don't have them. They are looking for the Internal diameter of the spring and the load rating in Lbs/sq In. I can give then the I/D measurement but have no idea where to find or how to work out the load detail. Can anyone point me in the right direction. …

hi all, i have a 97 thundercat and its been layed up for a little over a year and ran perfect when i parked it up but since resurecting her in feb this year its had a rough tick over and spluters when on low revs but seems to run perfect on over quarter throttle, ive had carbs to bits and could not see any dirt also changed both coil packs but no diference, checked plugs and swapped them around to see if any change but still same, it seems the problem is with cylinders 1 and 3 as leaving the bike on tick over and checking temp of down pipes they seem lot cooler than 2 and 4 and also when had carbs to bits i ran bike with no petrol tank or airbox and proceeded to smother t…
