Ah thanks for that Dave .
The excesive smoke is only cos of assembly oil and the first run after having the barrels off and some work of the pipes . Use Castrol 747 which is a synthetic with a touch of castor oil .
Smells nice too :D

Ooooh, lovely. I wish I had picked up a KR-1 rather than the TZR, but it was cheap and fast two strokes aren't that common. My TZR is almost back in action and hopefully will be on a racetrack in the near future (I would have to ride there and back though :( )

And thats where they are staying :twisted: ..................... until I can rebuild a motor :oops:

Have ordered crank seals from England and should start pulling a motor apart soon . Will get Martin from Hyside Trading to pull a crank apart and get new bearings and hope that the crank is OK .
After that will get a set a barells replated and whack a set of forged pistons in . Might even have a crack at flowing the cases , then should be ready to attack the interclub series for next year . :twisted:
All of a sudden the cheap little KR is looking a bit exxcey !

All this gear was found lurking about a dark corner of a wreckers yesterday.
I told it I knew of the mythical place that old KR's go to be loved again and so Like the Pied Piper I am leading it to "The Great Garage in Bendigo" where the messiah shall determine its worthiness.

Better get Slow and Wobbly on the case :lol:
Try emailing Martin at Hyside Trading .. hyside@austarnet.com.au" target="_blank if you want some bits for a rebuild
He is a bit of a trader and scrounger and has lots of Pommy contacts . He talks a bit like Rossi :lol:
He has a 350 LC that he drags out to Broady so he might have a few clues .
