Kawasaki KR250 Tandem Twin

These bikes have a deserved reputation for being difficult to start. This one had been running moments earlier and was still warm.

I thought these were parralel twin not the twin crank twin with one cylinder behind the other?

[KR250ORG]

No, first KR250A was tandem-twin : twin crank, one cylinder behind the other. Later KR250B/C/D (KR-1/S/R) was conventional parallel twin.

so are they disk valve or reed?

or like the ar125 and disk valve with reeds aswell?

[KR250ORG]

Like two AR125's one in front of the other.

Nice bike, I've never heard of KR250 until today, and I've been a 2-stroke enthusiast since 16yrs old :)

Did you guys know the Yamaha RA31A 125cc V4 9-speed race bike already? Type in: Yamaha RA31A Imatra Memorial and listen to the scream :p
