i dont think they have a liner in its just the ali coated with nicosil i think
years ago it used to be dear to repair as they would also have to weld the damage under the coating if it was bad
i remember years ago me mate got his son a cr 80 and that needed the bore doing and he got someone to put a liner in so no more nicosil i think
never let him down by the way
as for the kr1s one of my favourits of yesteryear nice quick bike
if its cheap enough buy it
