84 KR 250 has come across me and i cant resist some good green. I would like too know how good part availabity is for them? Or is there anything i should be looking for when i go and veiw this bike? Cheers Coops

the road one I presume parts aren't easy to find as the bike wasn't sold in Europe and in America

There is a lot of info on www.kr250.org
The KR250 was sold officially in Japan, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand only, though there were grey imports to other countries such as the UK. So for parts your best bet would be looking in those four countries.

I've got a couple of grey market 250's that I've had to source parts for...a NSR and a TZR, and I would think that parts for the KR would be obtained in similar fashion. What's no longer available from mother Kaw, could be obtained via YahooJapan or eBay UK, NZ and thru the various forums where owners of these bikes linger. There are many parts for the TZR that cross reference to other Yamaha models, FZR, TDR, etc. It may the same for the KR's.

Companies like Tyga Performance are big on aftermarket and OEM parts for the NSR's. RSCycles also sells lots of parts for the TZR's, as they still race TZ's and order parts from Japan often. You may want to email Steve @ RSCycles ( rscycles@gmail.com ) and ask him about availability of parts for the KR's. I'm not really sure how popular they were.
