Hi everyone, my names Steph and this is my first post, so be gentle with me
I bought this KR1S in bits about 10 years ago with the intent to go racing with it, just before they decided to scrub the 250 class in Scotland
It's been kicking around in boxes ever since. So it's about time she was returned to her former glory. Here's some pics of the state of her now

Thanks for the welcome guys
So hopefully I can pick up some stroker tricks with the wealth of experience on here from you guys, and I can share some of my experience with yourselves.
The Bandit in the background is mine, but I'm not owning up to the MZ that's a customers
Yeah I'm a "mecanick". I have my own garage for bikes and cars, although two strokes are not my strong point. The last stroker I had was a RM80 when was a kid.Do you work as a motorcycle mechanic or are the rest of the bikes your own private collection?

Hi Stephen,
Good to see a KR getting the attention it deserves.
Best advice i can give is kawasaki knew what they were doing when they built the kr's,engine is best left standard IMO as there easily fast enough for most mere mortals.
Chassis/suspension and brakes (providing there not knackered)are awesome even compared to modern tackle,they may not have USD's,radial caliper,high/low speed shock adjusters but they work as a package which is the most important aspect.
Good luck
