Disc valves
Posted: Mon Nov 10, 2008 3:51 pm
Broken one of the disc valves on your KR ? You'll struggle to damage the metal bit, but the nylon inner can strip its teeth or become detached altogether. New parts are no longer available.
The AR125 shares a similar design of engine and parts for those are much easier to find. The disc valve is a different part though.
However, I've been handed top secret technical information from Kawasaki in Japan that suggests the AR part can be used in the KR engine. I don't have any details other than that shown in the memo's, which I've scanned below (click 'em for bigger versions). And if anyone tries it or has any other advice to offer, please let me know.
