Another Smoker - KR250 (1984)

[Bogan]

This one's not so good as the RGV in one way (condition) but better because it's a Kwakka. Excuse the quality of the pics...

KR250A (1984). Get it running first, then see if I want to track it, restore it or just tidy up and ride it around on the road (cheap rego commuter). I already know what Macca wants me to do with it .

Kewl

I wouldn't bother tracking it, just fix it up and ride it. A full on resto will probably be a bit exxy with parts availability.



.....and I bags a ride on it when it's going

Nice pickup. Would be good to see it built back up.

Sweet as mate..............

The only action has been I bought a battery and the two seals for the fuel tap so it doesn't piss fuel everywhere. Might give it a few more kicks this weekend if I can get the fuel tap not to leak.



It will be road only, cheap rego. sounds good to me and it won't be any slouch scratching through our local roads.

[Bogan]

The fuel tap doesn't leak but there's fuel pissing out of the drain holes in both carbies , might be time to do some surgery on the carbies me thinks.

Anyone know if a 1984 bike has to have a compliance plate, and if so where I'd find it on a KR250? If it's gotta have one and it doesn't I may have some sort of overseas model and I'll have dramas getting it registered?

[MickLC]

It should be on the frame up around the headstock area. I'm pretty certain that they had to have them in 1984, but a quick google hasn't found the exact start date for bikes....it was either in '69 or '77 I think.
