KR1S What is everyone's opinions on them?

[sakashitti ratter]

I am seriously contemplating buying one. Anyone who's had experience with them what are they like? How much work are they to keep working properly? Do they have any problems to be aware of?

Thanks

they are great scrathing fun, but personally as a everyday tool..............not a chance, they had a tendancy to loose a circlip on the gudgeon pin, and knacker the barrel, have to rev the knackeres off them to make them go and become this can become tiresome, and changing pistons a rountine only use the best stroker oil. they can be a lot of fun but they can be a pain in the arse. would i buy one again................possibly......but for occasional use though i expect parts are getting rare now, so i would check out the availbilty of parts before you buy one.

As above - great bikes, fastest 250 stroker ever made yet simple parellel twin design. Problems are piston ring pins and alternators, Kawasaki did improve these but regular spannering and use of the best 2T oil available are essential. As transport - forget it, but as a toy I can't give you a good excuse not to buy one.

owned one. If you get one get a decent one, mine was in a dog of a state and in the end best place was to break it.

Only managed 500 miles out of it before i decided to break it but they are so awesome and makes me want another two stroke bike as a toy.
