New guy!

[Ronbot]

Hey guys, I'd like to introduce my self, I'm Ron

I hope you all had a good time off work! I got my motorbike for Christmas, and I'm chuffed with it, It's nearly ready for the road! Just waiting on new bearings. It's a Lexmoto XTRS 125, and I know I'll get some stick for owning a Chinese bike, but I'd rather call it brave

Anyway, I hope to speak to you all soon, Take care!

Lo Ron. If you like the bike then that's great. I hope it lasts long enough to pass your test.

Thanks guys! It's currently in my uncles garage, he is fixing it up, just waiting on bearings (which should have arrived today) and then I'll be on the road, I like the look of the bike, but I haven't had chance to give it some yet

Looks good, won't last.

you want more than bearings, he wants to strip it all down. Check ALL the bolts, grease and loctite anything.

It it moves and shouldn't, loctite.
If it doesn't move and should, grease.
If it does move and looks like it always will need to, more grease.

Breakdown cover, ACF50 and start saving for a new one.

That should solve the issue

Heh, you will get stick, and rightly so. That's got the same stone age CG-copy engine as many other Chinese branded bikes. "Giving it some" will mean 60mph on the flat, although your speedo will flatter to deceive.

That said, they're very pretty CBR copies, the engines are actually pretty robust, so take good care of the rest of it and you might actually get a lot of grins for your money.

See you in the Workshop.

I've got an XTR S 125 too. Mines surviving, only done about 4500miles but its still alive (other than coming off, stupid twats knocking it over).

Seems to be okay so far, not a bike I plan to keep for long though

[Ronbot]

We did PADDY, my uncle has a Kawk 1400, he knows his stuff and is teaching me what I need to know I also have locktite at work, by the truck load! Thanks!

Roger, I was aware when I bought it i'd get some stick! The only thing we cant seem to get working now is the rev counter, the cable seems fine but at the moment I can't afford a new clock £57!!

Billy, that's good to know I'm not the only one on here! :') This has done about the same, I'm in the same boat as you, 12 months and I'll get my Derbi gpr!

Thanks for making me welcome guys!

Right, welcome by the way. I've gone through 2 Chinese bikes myself, they're actually OK - if you get lucky.

Haha, Thank you Roger! I hope I have, it's like playing the lottery, but with reliability!
