When you plan on racing her mate?

I would love to do it. Does it have to be taxed + MOT to go on a track or?

What do you need? just a license?


About 50 questions for you to answer

Nope but i thought that high level racing is different to just riding around a track etc. Nvm... my mistake

I wouldn't worry about lockwiring it until just before your first meeting.

I'd get the forks rebuilt(at least) and resprung if you can afford it.

Rear sets?

There used to be a guy at PB that owned a pretty tuned KR1-S so he may be worth emailing for some tips.

Looks good though.

aye thats what il be doing anyway big Ham.

Im lockwiring everything After the trackday.
And the forks will be getting either hyperpro progressive fork springs or rebuilt as you mentioned.

The rear shock will be changed for a Hagon race shock.

Just the lack of a fairing at the moment is annoying, but its coming along nicely

Thanks lads.

Looks pretty shit to be honest Matty












Dunno if the disks have been changed or not yet matty lad?



He recently cleaned out the exhausts, and also removed a switch that wasnt needed, and now we have ignition coil turned on via the headlamp/full beam button and need to link the side stand switch

Corse they have been changed ya nugget, i had to clean up surface rust didnt i.

These are the pfm iron ones my friend,


"what ya's gonna do about it"

Because we put the discs on then when i had the money i got my carbon loraine's so, hopefully ultimate stopping power.

Anyone got any good suggestions about a better front brake lever and master cylinder?

To get more feel and power.

so matty when did you take your race licence?
me and a friend have been contemplating it. as he is still on a restricted licence and will probably be by the time we get round to it.
how does the kr1-s keep up on the track as that is what was going to use for a track bike.
my mate would be using his zxr400
good to hear your racing on a track at a young age

well matty21 hope to take it on a track day this year going to put a aprilla sapc box on her as this opens the power-valves differently and it gives a bit more power in the midrange and my mate at work made the ally end cans which give better midrange without getting rid of the top end

[Matty21]

Got it not long ago, and im doing a trackday at rockingham on 28th to see how it fairs up to get practice then will be racing august at croft hopefully.

Cost fair bit to get licence sorted at first.

zxr400 fair very well in 400 class, was watching at elvington today, fast pace.


I cant wait


Sweet, nice one noy.

Your friend is very talented haha
Have fun on her aswell
