hmmm actually hor the kr tank cap has a fault. Whenever it rains, water will seep into ur tank. since water is denser than petrol, it'll naturally sink to ur reserve tank. so when you turn ur fuel petcork to reserve, ur carb will draw water from the reserve tank instead of petrol thus choking ur bike and eventually cannot start.

 

Last time i also ride kr so i encountered this problem, but i solved the problem by placing a piece of clear plastic (bao xian zi) and cover over the tank cap area. Den i would put a netting overover the tank thus securing the plastic. this way, it can lessen the loss of petrol via evaporation and intake of water thru the tank cap.

 

Every 3 months i would go service carbs and flush the tank lar. You'll be surprised how much water it'll be inside.

 

Changing the fuel cap is quite ex lar (cant remember), cus you'll have to change the key than you'll still encounter this stupid issue.
