Lexmoto bulb replacement

[LazzurusMan]

Does anyone know how to replace the main bulb in my zsx? I can access it from the front and it just seems over complicated to get to it from behind. I'm sure I'm missing something really simple :/

Is this it? If so, there should be a place on the back where the bulb goes, if not, then the headlight must go off, to replace the bulb.

There's currently no requirement for bulbs to be roadside accessible and it may well be a complete ball ache to get at.

InB4 "you're meant to just throw the bike away when the bulb goes". Such humour, very jokefresh.

That's the bike, and there is a rubber bubble on the back, but no visible or easily accessible way of removing it

What's the box by the for leg on the front for?, never noticed before.

Phone a local lexmoto shop and ask them?.. Inb4 "you need to bring it to us m8", silly idea.

I think it's a label added by the maker in promo shots then photo shopped black by lexmoto.

I looked on Zongshen website and couldn't spot it on any actual bike listings then I noticed a banner ad at the top with a red version with their branding on it. Zooming in it appeared to be cable tied on.

Infinite speed? That's an impressive claim.

I've only just got the bloody thing BACK from a lexmoto dealer. He told me I'd need to replace the bulb, then gave me the keys and fucked off.


For the time being I have two options. Blind everyone with my high beam while I wait for payday, or I walk to work.

Do you not just get the rubber thing off somehow? Are there any metal clips running along it's edge?

Honestly it can't be that hard. Just have a good look at it and play around with it.

Try twisting it, try prying one side up, try other stuff and keep trying more stuff until you've figured it out.

Having to go to a dealer to get a bulb changed is very not cool.

So the bulb I bought from the only other motorcycle dealer in my town was the wrong one. Suppose I should inform him that not all chinese bikes are the same.

This is the bulb I can buy through Lexmoto themselves: https://www.lexmoto.co.uk/ZS125-48A_parts_BULB026.php

Would this one from halfords fit? It looks identical and seems to be the same wattage: https://www.halfords.com/motoring/motorcycling/motorcycle-parts/halfords-bike-it-motorcycle-bulb-hmb472-12v-60-55w

Thanks for all the help guys, I managed to get a replacement from Halfords and fit it in the car park.

Thread isn't complete without an answer as to how it's done, otherwise we'll find ourselves in years to come with that very question.

I own a Lexmoto ZSX R/F 125cc, and i believe my main headlight needs changing cause it's extremely dim bearly on compared to the brightness it was when i first got the bike.

Anyone know how i am meant to change the bulb weather i have to take the complete front of the bike apart to do it or if there's a simple easy method.

Thanks
