normally its the stator coil that fails

check the readings as per the on-line manual

you can get them rewound to repair them if you have trouble getting
a replacement

Came across a similar problem when I brought the remains of a KR1S a while back.
He'd taken it for a run before selling it and noticed the tacho not working, but still ran fine. The next time he tried to start it, he had no spark.
Turned out that the regulator had failed, which meant that it was being seriously overcharged. The first casualty of it running at such high voltage was the tacho, followed shortly by the CDI unit.

I'd recommend you test your regulator before you try running it again, or if you do run it, check the charge rate isn't too high.

Good luck, Scott.
