hi folks
I am looking for a bit of help to put my KR1-S back on the road after storing it for about three years.It was a good runner before being laid up but now I cant start it.Battery is fine as is fuel,the puzzle is when the ignition is turned on the power valves activate and I have good sparks for the first kick but then lose the sparks on the second kick.if the ignition is turned off then on again I get sparks on first kick then lose them,anybody got any idea what might be causing this?any help would be very much appreciated,cheers

I am having similar trouble.
Took the bike for a rego inspection today, everything was just fine. On the return journey it just quit. No sparks.
It has been standing for about 6 months sinsce I got it. (you cannot believe how hard bits are to come by here in Australia) I bought it as a box of bits and put it back together with new discs chain sprockets tyres etc.
It will run for about 2 seconds, then just stops...... Had to push it for 8kms.... Drat.....
I tried a new cdi (well different) and coil.. Not a fx.
Will try a new exciter and then go through the pain of extracting the rotor.....
I'll let you know how I get on!

Pain Pain Pain
Ok Pain is where I'm at 
One of the exciter coils has gone, the rotor housing stinks of fried wire, sooo, I have to get the rotor off, but it doesn't want to play
I have the puller engaged on it, been there over night , tighter than a ducks chuff. I've tapped it, hit it, sworn at it.......
Anyone got any top tips for persuading the b'stard that it wants to come off?
On another note, does anyone know where I can get a good quality re-wound unit. I don't want to put another one of duboius origin in to have it shag out again.... One 8km push is enough!!!

Mine took a lot more pressure than I thought was safe to be honest. Had to use a long handled ratched, but it did give a satifying bang when it came off.
Make sure your puller doesn't flair the bolt opening in the end of the crank. Kawa list a little button thing that goes in to the bolt hole to stop the puller damaging it.
Good luck !

You can get new stator's from http://www.electrexworld.co.uk/erol.html#1X0
Good prices and work well, I've got one fitted on my bike.

It's off!
Left the puller on for 24hrs... The little bugger didn't budge. So I got the blow lamp out took the puller off, heated the centre of the stator until the outside bit was hot enough to boil spit off quickly. Put the puller back on and tightened the bugger up as tight as I could. Then left it to cool down. Hey presto in the morning the crank and the stator had got divorced.....
Just got to get a new stator now and we're set.
Thanks for the advice, have ordered an electrex one!
