Hi Michael Had a KT many years ago, and although I had a lot of fun and did my first trial on it, my main memories are that the front end was never right. The stearing was unpredictable and the forks were also poor. The Kt, when used on the road used to pop and bang on the overrun, and I was advised by the dealer to open the plug gap to 75 thou ! I can also remember on wet days putting my hand on / near the engine and getting sparks jumping several inches. Most riders did away with the two stroke tank and went to pre mix. I'm pretty sure that I still have the original hand book somewhere which I thing was A4 size and fairly comprehensive. Ross

Thanks for the info, fortunatly the sprockets last well as long as you change the chain regularly.

Any help would be appreaciated. Haynes manual says you have to remove clutch, alernator, primary chain tensioner, and engine sprocket simultaniously (probably dropping all 25 beatings in the process) before removeing the cluth back plate to get access to gearbox sprocket. Is this the only way or are there any shortcuts ? Thanks.
