Hi folks ive been away from the 2 stroke world for a while and was wondering if there is a definate way of finding out which model i have - ive just exchanged her for my fzr400rr and im wanting to put it back to standard colours - as this one seems well worth saving - any help would be greatly appreciated- ive read a few random posts and you lot certainly know your stuff
cheers

Kr1 has a main beam with ridges. KR-1S has a smooth frame.
Post some pictures and i'm sure someone on here could tell you which model you have.

From what I remember of your other posts, you bought a 1990 KR1S and got a KR1 spares bike along with it, is that about right?
If it's a 1990 KR1S then I'd think it's a C2 model (being so early), but if you post up the first part of the chassis number (just leave out the last 4 numbers for privacy) someone will be able to tell you for certain.
That said, there's still a couple of different color schemes for each model, and I'm not sure if anyone can tell which one a bike had from standard unless it still wears it's origonal plastics.
Cheers, Scott.

These are the 2 bikes ive obtained - a winter in the garage should sort the kr1s out nicely but could do with some info on the correct paintwork and graphics - can anybody point me in the right direction?
cheers

The KR1S looks like a C2 model in the white/blue/Green paintwork scheme.

Hi Ian,

It looks to me like you have a KR1S C2 and a KR1 B2. The KR1S paintwork should be like mine below. The KR1 you have is completely non standard.
