Bad Starting - Time to bight the Bullet

[Sweeks]

Does this bring an end to KR owners bump starting their bikes now?

I don’t know yet.
I refuse to have a bike that will not start easily.
I have a few triples and they start on the first kick.
I had a serious crash 5 years ago and have had 5 surgeries on my right ankle,
It hurts to kick.

What, and spoil all Shaun's fun?

[Cexley]

Yep, no more bump starting. Check the carbs before tearing the clutch and crank pinions apart!

Hi Cexley,
I have removed the engine from the frame and have disassembled the engine.
I want to completely rebuild the engine and check every component.
I am an engine builder by trade, so I want to restore this bike to as new as possible.
I would really like to speak to Ted about his race bike and discuss his modifications before I begin to re-assemble.
Could you ask him if I can contact him please?
Thanks,
Shane

It'd be great if Ted could be persuaded to come on here and share his knowledge.

[Cexley]

Ok all. I'll email Ted and see if he is up for joining/corresponding with us all! He is an amazing guy. He has made his own carbon fibre disk valves!

I have just put my carbs through the ultrasonic cleaner, as suggested in this post. Bike starts first kick now! Almost before finishing the first kick!

What a result!!!!!

Just stumbled on this post!

Did anyone manage to get in touch with Ted to discuss mods to the KR?

Thanks

Dan.
