Modenas KR3
other
The Modenas KR3 (later known as the Proton KR3) was a racing motorcycle made by the Malaysian motorcycle company Modenas.
other
The bike was used in the 500cc class of grand Prix motorcycle racing from 1997 until 2001, when the company got taken over by the Malaysian automobile company Proton.
other
Proton renamed the bike, calling it the Proton KR3 and using it for three more seasons - from 2002 to 2004 - before replacing it with the newer Proton KR5 machine.
other
The origins of the KR3 lie with the strained relationship three-time 500cc champion Kenny Roberts had with the Factory Yamaha team at the time.
other
After Wayne Rainey became paralysed from the chest down due to a crash he sustained at the 1993 Italian Grand Prix and Yamaha's rivals Honda and Mick Doohan took multiple titles, Roberts became increasingly unhappy with Yamaha's working method in the mid 1990s.
other
He was constantly unhappy with the progress of their bikes and even complained many times publicly that the factory did not listen to his feedback on how to improve their motorcycles.
other
Because of this, he made an announcement that surprised everyone in 1996 – he was breaking away from the Factory Yamaha team - after 25 years of close collaboration - at the end of the 1996 season, working together with the Modenas company to create a new motorcycle for the newly formed Team Roberts in 1997.
other
The main reasons why Modenas decided to work together with Roberts was for two reasons: The company hoped that some of the technology would eventually make their way into their future models, and that participation in the 500cc would make their brand more known amongst the public.
other
The KR team decided to move the base of operations to the "Motorsport Valley" in the United Kingdom where some Formula 1 and race car teams are based and began working together with Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR).
other
They decided to create a unique three-cylinder, two-stroke, 500cc machine since the rules at the time gave three-cylinder machines a 10kg weight advantage over the usual four-cylinder bikes.
other
The idea was that the lower weight allowed the bike to be more agile and carry more speed mid-corner.
other
This was also deemed as an advantage as the racetracks during this time had more corners than long straights for the four-cylinder machines to utilize, some examples being Shah Alam and Donington Park.
other
However, they also were aware that a three-cylinder bike would make less horsepower compared to a four-cylinder one.
other
To solve this problem, the team focused on improving volumetric efficiency (how much fuel-air mixture the engine could induct).
other
The engine design was supervised by Bud Askland, the father of the team's manager Chuck Askland.
other
They created a 498cc engine with "square" dimensions i.e.
other
same bore and stroke figures of 59.6 mm x 59.6 mm.
other
The Vee-angle between the cylinders was set at nearly 180o with two cylinders down below and one up top.
other
The frame was designed to give the bike better handling characteristics.
other
The KR team worked with TWR and French chassis maker FTR, which resulted in an aluminium twin-spar "deltabox" frame that's smaller and lighter than conventional Japanese designs at the time.
other
The headstock featured eccentric carriers which would allow adjustments of the steering's rake angle and trail.
other
There were also eccentric carriers in the swingarm mount which were created to adjust the height of the swingarm pivot.
other
These were completely new and unheard of at the time.
other
Even the fueling system was ahead of its time, the team adopting electronic carburetors without float bowls which used ducted air to atomize the fuel, much like a fuel-injection system.
other
KR hoped that such a setup would avoid the fuel from emulsifying from intense vibrations.
other
Arrow made an exhaust system for the engine.
other
The result of this was an engine that produced 160 hp in the early years, and the team went on to improve the engine, producing 180 hp in 2002.
other
The bodywork was designed in such a way that it would wrap tightly around the frame for a smaller frontal profile.
other
Consequently, the radiator was moved to under the seat where ducts supplied cooling air to it.
other
At the debut year, the drier line-up consisted of Kenny Roberts Jr. and Jean-Michel Bayle and team's sponsor was Marlboro.
other
It was initially thought that the engine’s layout gave the engine good self-balancing inertial forces (of the pistons going up and down and the rotating crankshaft), but the bike frequently underperformed and suffered many breakdowns (expecially crankshaft spreadings frequently broke down) as well as driver DNFs, - 14 ...
other
Additionally, there was no controlled-tyre ruling back then, thus the tryes were manufactured to each specific bike in the paddock.
other
New and small teams such as the KR team often had to use old tyres or those designed for other bikes, sometimes even both.
other
It meant that KR could not capitalize on their handling.
other
For the 1998 season, Bayle was replaced with Ralf Waldmann.
other
The team continued to underperform all throughout the year, but did better than its debut year and scored a total of 105 points with a best place finish of sixth, courtesy of Roberts Jr, finishing fourth in the constructor standings..
other
The KR3 was supremely fast in midcorner and there were other riders who commented that they were led into entering corners too fast behind it.
other
However, when the situation was reversed, the KR3 riders found themselves blocked by the slower four-cylinder machines and then outgunned at the corner exits.
other
In 1999, the driver line-up significantly changed.
other
Kenny Roberts Jr. left the team and went to the Factory Suzuki team.
other
His replacement came in the form of an American rookie called Mike Hale, along with three replacement drivers; José David de Gea, Mark Willis and James Whitham.
other
KR lost its Marlboro sponsorship and renamed itself before the start of the season, going by the name of "Proton KR Modenas" after Proton decided to sponsor the team.
other
The lack of experience amongst the riders did not help and the team only scored a total of 17 points - their worst result ever - and only managed a best-place finish of twelfth.
other
The team also finished a lowly seventh in the constructor championship.
other
The KR team decided to change its driver line-up once more in 2000, letting go of Mike Hale and making David de Gea a permanent driver for the season, along with Luca Cadalora, Anthony Gobert and Mark Willis as replacement drivers when José was not available.
other
The team did better than last year but still struggled compared to the competition, earning 30 points, scoring a best-place finish of eighth and finishing sixth in the constructor championship.
other
In 2001, Proton took over the Kenny Roberts team and changed its name to "Proton Team KR".
other
The bike name changed as well, the new name being the "Proton KR3".
other
In terms of driver line-up, David de Gea was replaced with Dutch rider Jurgen van den Goorbergh and the replacement riders were replaced with a new wildcard rider: Kurtis Roberts.
other
The team performed more consistently and even managed to outscore some satellite Yamaha and Honda teams on certain occasions.
other
Overall, the team scored 65 points, managed a best-place finish of seventh and finished fourth in the constructor championship, equalling the result of its debut year in 1997.
other
2002 would be the best year for the team.
other
van der Goorbergh was let go and the team decided to get two regular drivers again: the experienced Nobuatsu Aoki and Jeremy McWilliams, along with David García as a wildcard rider.
