Ulf Rehmann and Jun Morita, in their 1989 paper "A Matsumoto-type theorem for Kac-Moody groups", gave a presentation of $K_2(A,F)$ for any generalised Cartan matrix $A$ and field $F$. The purpose of this paper is to use this presentation to compute $K_2(A,F)$ more explicitly in the case when $A$ is hyperbolic. In particular, we shall show that these $K_2(A,F)$ can always be expressed as a product of quotients of $K_2(F)$ and $K_2(2,F)$. Along the way, we shall also prove a similar result in the case when $A$ has an odd entry in each column.
