BUDGET CLASSIC RACE/TRACK BIKE BUILD: 88 KR1 250
Hi All,
I purchased an abused ex track bike that had sat idle for seven years. The bike I am told is a 88 KR1 250.
I have not ridden on the track due to the Irish economy in four years, this will be my first attempt back! =D>
So If you guys have old road spares lying round please help out, paypal waiting for cheap parts.
Day one
Not too bad right.......pfffffffffff

Gather thoughts together...decide to remove engine and continue
Engine out
Could you chance using this head?
Strange bore, liner coating? Useable?
At least one is useable

I have a tiny budget but will get there so far my needed parts list include
One piston and Rings, Gudgeon bearing.
Engine Gasket Set
3 x Powervalves, Powervalve pullies and 1 x linkage.
Exhaust Gaskets
Powervalve motor and bracket
RH Clipon
LH Rearset
Front master cylinder
Rear caliper and bracket
RH passenger footrest/exhaust hanger
All parts including the piston will have to be used for now, once up and running I will replace the forks and shocks when racing again. My budget is a wopping 200
All thoughts, comments, tips and help much appreciated.

who the F*uck is crazy enough to run that setup
outer tubes are interchangeable between KR1 and KR1s
If I were you, I'd change the outer tubes off the forks to KR-1S. The calipers are a straight fit (you just need spacers for the bolts, or go one up on the thread in the calipers). Outer tubes should be cheap to find, lot's off them survive a crash while the inners don't, or forks are putted aside because off pitting, and swapped for better ones. this way, you'll have much much better brakes than putting the original calipers back onblanc wrote:SLIGHT PITTING TO FORKS...BODGED ON CALIPERS OFF A FIREBLADE, EITHER NEW BRACKETS OR STANDARD CALIPERS NEEDED.
