Re: KR1-R Modification
Nice score there!
Would be a cool track bike with all that racing history. I'd love to get a set of the kit pipes like that. Will you be keeping them on or fitting stock pipes for a full resto?

Re: KR1-R Modification
intake... just saying YCC-I mechanism wired to KIPS
Gecko KR-1R...
it will be interesting to see if it has kit cylinders on it - check numbers/resonator
seeing it had what is presumably a kit CDI 21119-1279 (21119-1275 was OEM JDM)
it has the best forks of the period and trickest pipes
I think you should keep these mods, just stick an original fairing back on and some road gear
I think you'll have more enjoyment as a road bike knowing how rare it is riding it around, and riding to gatherings

Re: KR1-R Modification
I like the idea of the bellmouths moving away from the carbs at high RPM Danny. Very clever!

Re: KR1-R Modification
mick [kopite 30] dropped off his kr1r rare engine off at mine today.
thought I would post these photos to prove mick has a genuine kr1r [you can see by the number after
removing the resonater chamber.
mick has asked me not to disclose anything when I sort the engine, so if anyone wants to know anything, they must contact mick

Re: KR1-R Modification
Think it's just the auxillary exhaust ports that differ on those cylinders. Bit bigger than kr1s unless someone has been in and done some tuning.
