New KR1S Project in OZ
Hi all. Just joined the forum and I must say, very impressed that there are individuals that are so passionate about 2 strokes. Give you a little back ground info, I've owned a 1990 KR1S for the last 15 years. My first mode of transport when I moved to OZ. The last time it was running was in 2008, but due to electrical problems it's been gathering dust. In the last few months iv been thinking that I must pull my finger out and do something with the bike. In the past it has been very difficult to find parts and even fine a good bike shop that is passionate about 2 strokes, so let go fishing on the internet and do some research. Well times have changed there seems to be a large range of second hand spears now available, even though they mostly come from the UK or USA. So it seem that a re-build is possible but may be pricy due to getting parts sent to OZ, so more fishing. Well jackpot found a KR250 1988 for sale no picture in the add, got the seller to send me a pic of the bike, and what do you know its actually a KR1S, and it runs, deal done $1000.00 picked up on Thursday. Parts problem solved, WELL NOT ACTUALLY, decided to re-build both bikes now, sucker for punishment. Hopefully you will not mind if I call on your knowledge at some point.

Ho ho ho, welcome to the forum Monty =D>Parts problem solved, WELL NOT ACTUALLY, decided to re-build both bikes now, sucker for punishment.
I think you'll find there are one or two of us who have one Kr & enough to build at least another.
I've always loved my bikes but never been addicted to one model, until I got a Kr1.
Its like a drug I tell you

Ohyesindeedie... This forum has some of the friendliest p*ss heads I've every had the pleasure to converse with... And I'm one of them that likes a whiskey too... and then also talks shite!teerex wrote:Welcome Monty,
My advice on a rebuild is plenty of whisky and plenty of whisky! oh and to be able take shite, which as some of the lads on this forum will know I'm very good at especially after some whisky.
It's gets really entertaining when a few of us are on the sauce and Monty your very welcome to join in
If it takes more than 2strokes then your just playing at it..

I noticed the bub seems to be pointing at the 2nd KR. I reckon she's thinking "Dad, can ya chuck the engine from that bike into this thing for me? I'm sick of waiting for someone to push me."
