Hi guy's, I have a lexmoto titan 125cc and went out to work on Friday and when I come home I went to go the shop and the battery was flat so I baight a brand new battery from Halford I fitted it and there was still no power so I took it to a garage and the negative terminal was broke so it got replaced along with a fuse and it worked perfect started first push on button.... Now today I went to start it up and there is no power again but there's a brand new battery and terminal fitted few days...

I need to remove this bracket in order to fit the clocks on my Trophy CRK cafe racer. D16D466E-71A5-42C1-8B0F-61272A6517AC.jpeg

To do this I have removed the top yoke and now need to undo these fixings:

E7CDF1BD-AAC2-44FC-BA87-36A187A1E7D9.jpeg

Any ideas apart from drilling them out? I’ve painted everything & don’t fancy scratching things doing it.
Are they likely to be L/H thread or anything else bizarre?

Hello people.

I have a lexmoto venom that I am hoping to be selling on before summer (tests inbound) so obviously I want to tidy up the bike before selling on so it holds its value more and of course does the next sucker new rider a good turn. The only real issue with the bike I cannot seem to rectify is the rusty exhaust.

It rusted slowly and surely (I ride every day more or less) and I did try ACF-50 applications but being the exhaust it soon seems to burns off, my next step was to remove...

Fitted new battery, boom started no probs,, put all back together, ready to get going,, nothing again.
Put on jump leads get it started but when take leads off it dies of death?? Anyone came across this before,,
Bike is cbf 125 any info very welcome..
Thanks in advance..

Last night I looked at the coolant level on my new to me VFR 800 Vtec. Very low and I didn't check it when I picked it up fron the dealer 1000miles ago. So did they check it? change it? Is it drinking it? I don't know although they allegedly serviced it. Anyway I either need to top it up or drain/refill.

Is Halfords coolant any different to Honda's or any other?

It's important to be pumped

Tyre pressures are a crucial factor in determining how your bike handles and how quickly you wear out your (not exactly cheap) tyres.
There are lots of myths and misconceptions about what pressures you should run in the wet, on track days or when you're loaded with luggage. Usually you'll find someone propping up the bar who knows better than the manufacturers' recommendations. To find out how close...

HI all. My bike, a Honda CBf600sa-8 (2008 model) has a dash with two little lcd displays in it, one is a clock (if you look at a pic it is the rh one), and the other is a combination odometer/trip display. Since last Monday the clock display has been blank and the odometer/trip just a set of dashes, and it now has a clock setting on it, though never had before. I removed all the front fairing this weekend to look for a faulty connection or something, but could find nought wrong. I sprayed all...

At the weekend, My friends and I had been out on a road trip about 20 miles out from home I noticed my rev counter had stopped working.
Then I noticed when I used my indicators, they werent flashing as they usually do.
It was at this point I decided to head back home. Half way home I noticed my speedo had stopped,
it would come on intermittantly and the readings were way off.

About a mile from home the bike lost all power and stopped. When I turned the ingnition i noticed some slight flashing...

Hi guys.
I'm new here and relatively new to riding as well (only been riding for about a year) and have just bought byself a new bike, 2010 yamaha yzf r125.

The only problem with sed bike is the speedo does not work, it is ont of the electric ones but the revometer, the fuel gauge and all the turn signals neutral lights ect that are on the same circuit board with the same wiring loom all work. It's just the speedo.

I've looked around and can't seem to find anyone esle who's had the same...

Hi,

Recently purchased a Honda CBF 125 2009 44K, I am currently completing my Direct Access and so I just wanted the bike for now to go back and for work. Whilst also getting in some
Practice for my MOD 2 I have left to complete.

Once I got the bike home I noticed the natural light wasn’t working on the dashboard even though the bike was in Neutral.

I bought a Haynes Manuel and got my hands dirty and done the following:

changed the bulbs in the dashboard

I have a 2011 CB600FB Hornet 600. Plugs are due a change. Are iridium ones worth the extra money?

Hi All, I've got a Honda CBR125R (2017).
Currently doing quite a long commute (80 miles a day) on one dual carriageway, sitting at about 70mph (8.5k revs) for about an hour.

I've heard that a sprocket change of 1 less tooth? Could help lower the revs at high speed and preserve the bike better. I don't know much at all on this, can anyone give me some advice on a good chain and sprocket for me to buy, and any opinions on the matter.

Any help is appreciated.

right my 2012 honda cbf has got a light problen all of a sudden all the lights have gone of the headlight side light all the console lights rear tail light but brake light works n high low beam checked of connections for corrostion and all bulbs and wires to see if any bear plz help

So I have finally managed to replace the left front indicator on my ninja......what a f*cking ball ache that was, so after swapping the wire over from the original to the replacement as the replacement didnt have the connector block on it so once I'd done that I started putting the indicator in to the fairing hole......yea it didnt fit too easily and how I didn't crack the fairing is beyond me and pure blind luck with the amount the fairing was bending.......but after much shouting, swearing...

Hey all

Recently my back arch and light unit got smashed off by a passing vehicle. I wanted to ask if anyone had any information regarding a back break light unit for the keeway superlight. I am having a real difficulty trying to find a replacement or a different type of unit that fits. Has anyone had any experience replacing one?

Hi all,

First time poster.

Have just bought a CBR 125 2011 model as a cheap run around.

Got it through the MOT on Monday and one of the advisory items was indicators flashing too fast.

I've bought a new flasher unit/indicator relay. Does anyone know the location of it on this model? I've heard conflicting stories of it being behind the rear fairing and behind the speedo unit. Would like to be certain before I start taking bits off.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks.

I measured my sag (40 front, 44 rear) but the rear preload adjustment isn't how or where I expected to find it. I'll wait for the heynes manual to arrive in a couple of days. Does adjusting the preload change the seat height? Ideally I'd like to drop 20mm but anything would be welcome.

Next post could well be about how to drop seat height!

Hi people,

Took my Thundercat out for a spin this morning amd noticed the clutch is almost non existant. It has been wearing down for a while but was almost unrideable today. Ive got a car mechanic background and have changed countless clutches in cars that come with everything. Clutch Plate, Pressure Plate, cover and thrust bearing. Ive checked a video on the bike one which looks do-able but ordering the parts isn't that staight forward.

A few of the kits have just the friction disks in...

Hey guys, I'm hoping I can find a solution on here.

I've asked on reddit and have had some responses but nothing yet has worked :(

Basically, recently my MT 125's dash started glitching and basically lagging, everything would show but bars would appear randomly, my MPH may glitch up to 100+ and then within a second drop back down to 20 and stay there forever.

Even when the bike was switched off, everything would still be on show? (mph, time, fuel, trip time etc) I think this may be a reason...

Hey guys,

I have noticed some deposits on my brake discs, how can I get rid of them? Could it be the reason why I feel a slight judder at low speeds when braking? Sometimes I feel it, sometimes I dont. It's annoying.

These are relatively new discs, bought second hand, fitted by the garage and tested, no warping at the point.

I had the same problem with my old discs which were scored and shot.

The brakepads are relatively new, sinthered goldfren.

Any suggestions?

Hello, I am currently having an issue with my Yamha MT-125 2017 speedo not showing. I am wondering if anyone has encountered this problem and knows what could be causing it. 

The bike is currently stored outdoors due to recently moving but has a cover over it. Indicators, ABS, fuel warning, neutral light all still work but the speedo itself doesn't. I have taken the speedo apart and noticed some condensation inside but not sure if thats fully damaged it.

I'm new here so sorry if this is posted in the wrong place. I just turned 16 and purchased a Lexmoto Aspire 50, a cheap geared 50cc bike. Everything works fine apart from when I'm riding I can't get into fourth. Everywhere I've looked it has mentioned that it has a 4-speed gear box but it simply won't go into fourth. I'm assuming that people wouldn't count neutral as gear... Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Hi there, I have a issue with my main commuting bike, as I ride it every day it has a hard life, I am worried the engine has completely died on me, was out for a short ride we’re I noticed it was making a noise that sounded like metal knocking or grinding the then loss of power and finally no power at all, did not fully seize up and will now not start. Any help much appreciated. Cheers Matt.

The boys bike is up for sale and we've had a couple of offers but nothing solid. However because the bike has been standing in the garage for a couple of weeks now I've been starting it and running iit for 5 - 10 minutes every couple of days. So today I start the thing and rev it up then switch off, no problem so I push it out of the garage and leave it out while I tidy up the garage.
An hour or so later I push it back in and decided to try it again. B*@$tard won't start and because I'm now...

Hello everyone. While getting ready for work i junked on the thundercat and it wouldn't start. The immobiliser had been dodgy for a while. So i pulled the immobiliser out, the wires were a farce so I've replaced the wiring loom to save time. Just fitted the replacement loom but now my problem is this. The electrics turn on, i can hear the fuel pump start, but the bike itself won't even attempt to start. Just wondering if anyone has any idea what this would likely be. The immobiliser was a...

Whenever it's a bit wet out the brakes are snatchy and squeaky until they get some heat in them.

My cure is to ride the first few hundred meters in second gear with front or back brake on which is a bit dicey as the front tyre is about as grippy as a moist haddock.

Anyroad, I've had them apart and they look fine, cleaned out the dust, roughed up the drum and put a small chamfer on the leading edge of the liners but they're still pants in the wet.

Has anyone got any great...

Hi all been doing rear break shoes on my er5 and lost a part which sits in between the bit that connects the break pedal to the rear hub I cant seem to put images up for some reason so cant get a picture of what I mean :x if anyone knows what I mean and can help me find on would be much appreciated cheers all

I own a 125 lexmoto Valencia, had it since August this year. 16 plate. Since November I've not been riding it as the roads around me arent safe to ride on. Just want a little advice on how to keep it over the winter. Currently have it under a motorbike cover and up on centre stands.

Been running it for 10-15 minutes for the past few weeks but it seems to be struggling to start. Assume this is due to the battery being close to drained?(battery is only a few months old so I know it doesn't need...

Hello groovy gang.
I’m my zzr600 always needs the choke to start. According to the knowledgeable fastbob It is an enricher not a choke. When the bike starts the revs climb quickly to 6000 revs if the lever for choke thingy is fully open. I often close the lever part way so as not to disturb the neighbours.
Whether the choke is open part way, not at all or fully when I put the bike into gear and release the clutch the engine stops. I can super gently let out the clutch and there comes a point...

Hi guys,

Hi

I recently inherited a Suzuki B120 and having no bike knowledge have decided to attempt to get in running.
I have got as far as purchasing the oils for the bike but the Hayes manual says the gearbox requires SAE 30 2 stroke oil. I can find some SAE 2 stroke oils online such as the below

... il-1-litre

I am not sure if this is usable as gearbox fluid for a bike? Or if anyone knows what I should be looking for?

Thanks for your help!

Going to work today and notices the Speedo needle doing a little jig. Then it stopped working as did the odometer.
Had a look on line and the sensor which controls the Speedo is on the left side of the engine and the connector for it on the right near the top radiator hose but not really sure as searches.for 1998 CBR throws up the F4. Anyone got any experience of this problem and how's it best resolved.

Cheers

Hello.
The problem that I am experiencing is as follows:
My honda CBF 125 starts fine after resting. I ride it and at some point it cuts out. I coast and stop st the side of the road.
The engine turns but does not start. There is no spark. I have tried changing the coil. The bike ran for 30 seconds at idle then stopped.

I have experienced this twice. The first time I was riding for an hour when it cut out. The second was after 5 minutes.

Could it be the ECU/CDI? -how can I check this?(OBD2...

So I’ve been browsing through different forums looking for advice, but nothing I’ve found so far works!
I have a 125 Honda PCX which I only purchased a couple of months ago. I’ve haven’t rode it in a little over a week. All of a sudden the key won’t work!
I’ve tried moving the steering whilst turning the key, lubricated the keyhole, even tried the pencil idea! Nothing works.
The steering isn’t locked and the keys are brand new of course! So it can’t be due to an old, damaged key.
It allows...

Hi guys and girls,

I'm after a bit of advice please.

I currently ride a YZF600R which is perfect for me. I started on a GS-R750 and found it too bulky, heavy etc. I used to go miles out of my way to avoid a 3rd exit on a roundabout. The Thundercat was recommended to me as I needed something that was comfortable enough to do the commute to work and back, but also sporty enough to aid my mid life crisis and make me think I look younger and more down with the kids. I love the T-Cat, its so much...

I have a Suzuki GSX600F 2003.
It has twin headlights, only one is on with Dipped beam.
Whan I switch on High beam the 2nd light comes on, the dipped light stays on as it was.
Both lights have H7 single filament bulbs in them.
I have suspicion they are the wrong way around,
The beam patterm for the high beam light seems to be better suited to dipped beam.
The low beamlight as currently setup is the nearside one (left), high beam the offside (right) one.
When on low beam there is very little...

Hello

So I have a Er6f 2006 for 4 months now and i love the bike but I have a small problem with it. When the engine is hot, if i rev the bike on idle a little quicker than usual so say to move of quickly, the bike literally cuts out. Starting it back up it will start perfectly fine first time.

No idea on the service history of the bike however the bike itself is in very good condition with just 18,000 miles on the clock.

When checking the oil it seems new however this is all i know. Could...

Hi all, just fitted my chain and sprockets, what's. Sod of a job with a cheap shit chain tool.
One of the rivets I slightly over flared and the edge split... Is this a massive issue? Obv it's over flared by .1 of a mil but the split worries me a little more than a tenth of a mil ...
Tempted to leave it and check regularly...
Is that stupid

Hi Guys

I have a KLX and have decided to swop the wheels, tubes and tyres to enduro. Apparently it's a quick plug and play deal. However when they arrived I noticed that the spokes are poking through internally (maybe 4mm) which I guess would pop the inner tube? They are brand new from the factory. Any advice would be appreciated. I will get in touch with the supplier also.

Thanks

Steve

My current project bike is a 1970 CB350K, but I already have the next project bike lined up (it was too good an opportunity to miss). It's a 1980 Honda CG125 (K1?). It's 6v and has points ignition. I'd like to convert it to 12v to make getting lamps for it easier and to open up more options of a decent headlight, USB power socket, etc. This, and an electronic ignition conversion would just make the bike easier to live with on a day to day basis.

From the research I've done, I would need a new...

Morning,
I have Oxford heated grips on my Hornet.
The power cable runs under the fuel tank and connects up to the connection plugs from the control unit. 1. Left Hand Grip, 2. Right Hand Grip and 3. The power.

The connectors are white plastic with a small clip to hold together. The power connector is obviously a little loose or perhaps corroded. I CBA going to the trouble of removing the connectors and either soldering or fitting better connectors if I can help it. So, is there such a thing...

Good morning/afternoon/evening fellow bikers.

I am having issues with my 16 plate Honda CB125F with 4000 miles on the clock.

A few days ago the engine started making a ticking noise which I am struggling to find the source of.

I have added a video of the noise on YouTube ->

Some of the things I have already checked:
1. I have checked the valve clearances are correct both on the intake(0.08) and exhaust(0.12) valves.

2. I have made sure that the adjuster locknuts are tightened to the...

Hi guys, hope someone might be able to help me.

Recently I was riding home as normal but on a few occasions I was losing power when coming off the acceleration. I would use the electric start and regain power and continued in hope to just get the bike home. Unfortunately a few miles later I lost all power and was unable to restart the bike properly. It would come to life with the electric start but as soon as acceleration was used it would die. The bike was recovered and taken home before it...

I don't use the heated grips that often, but when I do, as soon as I start the bike I switch them (Oxford ones) on, scrolling through the heat settings to the warmest. But today, they refused to switch on and I had to ride off with cold grips. But, after 5 minutes, I tried again and there was some sign of them switching on, as the lowest setting light flickered. After another 5 minutes they worked fine and I was able to switch them on and could feel them warming up my hands.

Is that delay the...

Has anyone ever fitted lighted chain adjuster kit to their bike, if so what do they think of it? 111.jpg

I have a customised bike with a lifan 250 engine. Had quite a few problems, most recently a vacuum leak from the carburetor causing to splutter and stall when the revs got too high. Thats now been sorted and has been fine since. Over the last week though every time it rains it has started doing exactly the same, spluttering and stalling as soon as it goes through a puddle or gets hit by same rain. Only when it rains though, it is absolutely fine otherwise.

Any idea what this could be? I live...
