Gaskets / seals
Can you still buy crank seals and head gaskets for the Tandem. And if not what is the go when you need some. Can you goo up the old head gasket and get another use out of it. I changed the oil in my gearbox last week and there seemed to be petrol in the oil although I cant be 100% sure as I use the tray for everything. But I am preparing for the worst.

Haven't tried to buy either of those items for a while now. Wouldn't be too confident you'll find any. But phone round some Kawasaki dealers using the partnumbers you'll find on my My Site, you may be lucky. At least Kawasaki Australia know what a KR250A is.
Not sure if/how you can re-use an old head gasket. You might be able to find one off another model that will do the trick, use the template below to try matching one (print it off at 100% ). I can't see why a one-piece gasket is necessary.

The O ring may be the go if the gasket doesnt seal up. I am going to run it a bit and see what happens the bike had been sitting for years judging by the rest of it when I got it if they had put petrol in the gearbox instead of the tank it wouldnt surprise me
I will make a few calls and see what turns up.

The base gaskets have now come in also so I will nip around and get them. No good on the head gasket but if anyone is interested the crank seals are Kawasaki part no 92049-1478 and they are nothing special ao I would fancy my chances down the local seal supplier. They are NOK AE13121 6 . I got these for $13.20 for the pair
Must be the only cheap Kawasaki parts around.
