Engine is still at S.E.P.
they seem to be very very busy which is great for them but not so good for me
is there anywhere else I can try for a fast response I have only ridden her 4 times since passing my test!!
If anyone has had crank seals done at the place they suggest some idea of price would also be appreciated
I seem to be going cold turkey their is only so much frame cleaning you can do

Stan stephens did mine. Full rebuild and balance was £150 plus postage IIRC. Included new mains and seals but I had to pay for new bigends as well. Great job.

PJ Engineering did a crank rebuild for my old KR1-S along with Barrells..
the whole thing looks sweet as a nut when it arrived back.. worth giving them a bell

OK the saga continues.... Get the engine back from S.E.P. as they had it for 5 weeks and hadn't even taken the barrells off
Anyway given it to a friend of a friend who did his apprenticeship as an engine builder and used to rebuild his own RGV engines. I am going to send the crank to Stan Stephens but need to source other parts.
Whats the best place to get gaskets, pistons and rings from
Hopefully is a couple of weeks I should be back in action

Cradley Heath a good bet for most KR1 parts, they have a website and a telephone mail order service they keep alot of stuff in stock and ship things nice and quick which is handy if you need something in a rush.
Im sure stan would be able to supply all that you need?
