    KR250 workshop manual

    A mate of mine has just got an early KR250 tandem twin 2-smoker (pre-power valve) and we're looking for a manual somewhere online for it. Have had a squizz thru the manual threat but can't see anything. Anybody know of something? Cheers:-)

    His is the same as yours nudemetalz apart from the little fairing bit below the bikini fairing and the belly pan. I went out for as ride last weekend with him and it goes damn fine. He loves it so that's the main thing. I remember riding an RGV 250 back in the 80's and was impressed by that. Not my thing to have to rev a bike so hard to get go but different strokes (in this case, two...LOL) for different folks aye?
    Cheers guys

    I loved mine (back in '93 !!). Went to the Brass Monkey and back on it.
    But then I bought the RZ500 and it was KR what......

    Hi there
    I suppose your mate is Nigel, if so I have spoken to him and he knows I got a manual so if you need any info I could scan it for ya.

    Oh yeah I got 2 of these bikes and love it

    Yeah it is Nigel...and he's having a lot of fun with the KR. Have just got back from another ride today with him and his KR fitted with nice new silencers so she sounds a lot nicer now. Nigel has mentioned you and said that you were a resource for him. That's cool, was just looking in case there is a manual floating around out there somewhere.
    The more I ride with Nigel the more impressed I become with the little KR.

    Cheers Sparky. No that's his other mate with the later model KR1. I ride an SV650. Had a good ride on Nigels' KR yesterday and it turns a whole lot easier than my SV. I'd like to have a go on a powervalve version 'cos I didn't like the total lack of anything under about 7 grand. Nigel can get it to sing tho...
    Safe riding this summer on yours mate:-)
