Right chaps, just an update on the KR. Changed the oil, fitted new front pads and replaced the brake fluids front & rear.
Fitted new plugs. WOW this is an undertaking in itself, not one sparkplug spanner in my collection can fit over the plug, so i used an adjustable spanner! This must be the first time i have ever used one to take a plug out in 35 years!.I could have had the engine out and rebuilt the crank on my kh250 in the time it took me to change the plugs!
Just the chain and sprockets now, but waiting for my the paddock stand, should be in for Tues at my local shop.
I should be out by the end of the month, and hopefully will be showing it at VJMC Lotherton Hall on the 28th July.
Is there anybody out there whom will be attending, as it would be nice to meet up with another owner or two!

Re: Update on the KR.
To work on a kr1s carbs you need the hands of a little Jap man to get them in and out.
Good to see it should be on the road soon, i think Gary changed the air filter last year, save you a job.
