KR-1S.co.uk Forum

I saw this one on the PB forum, Dan kindly sent me some photos and I said I'd stick them up on here. Hopefully he'll be along sometime and add some details. Seems to me that there's going to be more KRs withe zxr fronts thn zxrs with zxr fronts soon

very nice

front end looks good - are forks shorter? looks to kick the back end up more?

must have had to do a bit of work to use the orginal 1-S wheel.

does look good tho .



ps nearly every KR i see is leaking Gearbox oil onto the right hand spanny.....

very nice.
I'd have reversed the colours on the front mudgaurd though.
mind you saying that he might have tried it and his way looks better.
still nice bike

Are they ZXR250 forks?

I also agree about that oil leak. It seems to come from a bolt at the rear of the engine on the bottom. I keep saying I'm gonna have a proper look at that on mine and stop it as I'm feed up of wiping the darn spanny clean.

Well mine doesn't... Unfortunately, the right hand slip on leaks oil onto the gearbox

Nope, definately 400 ('L' I'd say) as are discs and calipers
250 fork bottoms are different bolt spacing same calipers as a KR1.

Hi thanks 4 showing interest the reason for the better profile is that a 2007 R6 shock is now present. this raised the rear up by about 25mm and it handles like a 250 stroker should.

nice lookin kr......

mine leaks over both spannies...but it stops em rustin

should really treat mine to a full gasket set but the leak isnt worth 50 quid to fix yet.....
