Hi , Is the front wheel on a KR250 centered (or offset) in the forks?

Looks like it's centred.Difficult to measure accurately without removing guard.

can you stick your figure between the discs and forks to feel the gap?

Disc rotor to fork leg is between 14 and 15mm.I've got four KR's measured them all.Are you missing spacers or are you running different forks?

I have a non standard wheel that the previous owner installed , that is not centered. I beleive I'll have to correct it .

I wouldn't have expected the rim (and therefore the tyre) to be anything other than centred between the forks. Or the rear one non-centered in the swingarm either for that matter. Wouldn't that give strange handling ?
Obviously, at the hub there are normally different length spacers to cope with the speedo-drive (and the sprocket/cush-drive at the back) but the net result is to centre the tyre surely ?
No doubt someone will be along shortly to point out I'm wrong...
