  1. Yeah exactly my point. But like I say its a stop gap to my next bike. I'm planning on doing my DAS in March due to work commitments then looking at either a GSXR or a ZX6R. But that's an argument for another day lol. Thanks for your help though peeps, really appreciate the ideas. Although we couldn't find the exact number. Just got to apply common sense to it. sorry my pals OCD led me here lol.
  2. Guys like I said I didn't want to start an argument. Ride your own ride. If your happy with your Chinese bike and its been reliable for you, then I am more than happy for you. I know how bad the Chinese bikes used to be, and they have come quite a long way since. But they just aren't there yet in my opinion based on my own and a mates experiences. Yes these bikes were brought used. but both bikes are less than 4 years old both currently have less than 6000 miles. But I cannot recommend anyone buy one. Especially when for so little much more you could buy a faster, better built, more reputable, easier to find parts and info, Japanese bike. You could argue the toss of throwing it away. I'm not like that. I've had many arguments with this bike, but I still maintain it and fix it to a high standard and will continue to do so until I get my next bike. Back on topic. So is told my other mate, that is helping with the forks, we have to eyeball it and see if it comes out hard or soft.... He cried (OCD). So the plan is not just top up the oil, but replace it. As there is nothing in the SH about it. And as the forks are off it'll be better to do so now before it actually needs it.
  3. Honestly guys I didn't want to start an argument about what bikes are better than other bikes. Just my experiences. I will add to this though. A mate has a Keeway Superlight. really bad electrics, bad brakes, nuts and bolts vibrating loose, ordered parts direct from china. Bad customer service, parts not arriving or damaged. (Not necessarily the dealers fault I know). But wish I spent an extra £400-500 on a Japanese bike. As before I don't mean to spark anyone's arousal and apologies to anyone that disagrees with me. And I'm not a 17 year old on my first CBT. I've been driving for 11 years, so understand not all vehicles are the same. But I cannot recommend a Chinese bike to anyone after these two bikes. Honestly I'm just after knowledge. Thanks again for the advice. I'll get back to the guy that is helping me. He will have to bite the bullet. One of them has leaked so it needs doing.
  4. Thanks for the quick replies. so this the idea I had. The guy I have helping me is OCD so didn't want to do it like this. I'm going to man up and tell him I cant find the info so will have to be done like this as a final resort I think. I've been looking for 2 days now with no hope. Think my kids could find the answer to this in 5 minutes if it was a GSXR or a Ninja.
  5. Hi guys and gals, So as the title says new to biking here. I made the mistake on starting my biking journey on a Chinese 125. A KSR Moto Worx 125. No end of problems with this bike. Under powered, unreliable, parts are hard to find and knowledge is too now, I apparently come to find. By any chance has anyone had one of these, or just so happen to know the oil capacity of the front forks? I found 3 manuals online, none of them have ever helped for what I've had go wrong with this bike. Now this is the 2nd forum I've signed up to try and find out. I will say its not put me off riding, It's driving me harder to do my DAS and get a big boy bike. For the time this bike will have to do, so will to look after it the best I can. I will say though, anyone wanting to get a Chinese bike. Avoid them. Not wanting to wind anyone up about it. Just my opinion and no offence is intended.
