Lexmoto XTRS 125 - Rev Counter Not Working

Ronbot · Derestricted Danger Joined: 03 Jan 2013 Karma :

Hey I recently bought a Lexmoto XTRS 125 on a 61 plate, I was beinging it back from Bury, my first ride since passing my CBT last year! I was wondering if you could help me out with something:

The rev counter, it likes to flicker at the higher end RPM but anything else doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure how to fix this, I think it runs off the crank? I can't seem to see anything around.

Many Thanks,
Ron Smile

It's ran off the crank, we checked, is there any fix for the clock or is it a new one in order?

(We took it out from the back of the dial, it spins freely, also I can't get anymore pics as it's not at my house Thumbs Down

)

On a mates 61 plate XTRS his rev counter has been useless since he got it new so even if you get it working don't expect much from it.

Apparently his bike idles at nearly 2500 rpm and it is very slow to react to the engine revs.

That's grim, but it's what you get for £500 ehh...

We tuned the carb and to be honest it's running sweet as a nut! :')

so is cable all ok ( greased rather than oiled ) and when eng running the cable inner rotates??

make up a drive bit to insert into drill and speedo, turn on drill ( so bit rotates the correct way and drives the speedo head ), what happened??

maybe speedo internal need lub?? sorry revcounter not speedo.

Yup, definitely check the cable first. Free it at both ends, and make sure it's contiguous - it could be snapped internally and dragging the top end round some of the time - my GPz305 did that.
