KR-1S.co.uk Forum

Just got my KR1S from Australia a couple of days ago and its really tidy and complete, as soon as I got it I ripped all the wooden box off with a big smile on my face and when Igot to the bike I was relly happy with what I saw especially buying of the net you dont know what your getting. I havent started it yet but are going to get some fresh oils this weekend for it. I have connected the battery and checked the KIPS operation and are smooth and do there thing, Just needs a good polish and degrease under the bike and a new set of tyres and man what a mission to find tyres for these bikes,I did end up finding some Shinko tyres and apparently arent to bad form some reveiws I have seen.Photo shows no lower fairing but do have it and does need a little hole fixed but nothing serious.Will keep everyone posted and let you know how the ride goes when I get it all cleaned up and ready for the road. and yes it is in the bedroom

Can't you get Bridgestone or Dunlop tyres?

Charles

could get dunlops but none in the country for a while and tried to get some bt090 but have been discontinued,I am just impatient I guess and especially when there is a KR1S in the house The Shinko's will be fine I guess.

ATTN Col

It can be done.
No excuses now........

NICE... excellent

and the ONLY one in NZ of that colour scheme I expect
your half way there to collecting the set

ask NZKR1 (George) he'll have a source for tyres for his racebike(s) and sometimes sells part worn ones
