dont run 50:1 even with the best oil. I have been advised that in the past but it is too far for high speed/revs, might be fine on an MX but not the KR (30:1 is what the manual says).
agree with you there m8y,but was only running for short period of time to enable me to set up and bleed the oil pump,so motor is now running with oil pump supply.

main colour will be a pearl white,but going to try and stick with original colour scheme but with pearls and maybe some airbrushing of a slightly different approach to the original striping(different direction) of the KR1,and toying with some ideas of number board on seat unit incorporating a checkered flag (not original idea i know ,but i like em'.... )...but just got a few jobs lined up and kr keeps going down the list.......mr_bungholeo wrote:sounds fit...i think the frame may blend in once the fairing is on.....wot colour are you gonna paint the rest of it??
