Lexmoto Isca 125 HELP!!!

[Nels19]

Hey everybody,
In need of help!!

I bought a brand new Lexmoto Isca in March this year after having just completed my CBT as the bike was £1500 I never bothered paying for services as I knew I was never going to see much of the £1500 returned. I did basic services myself (oil and filter spark plug, air filter) but I never touched the inlet or exhaust valve until 3000 miles as I never even knew they existed.
Initially the bike would be an absolute pain to start and once it started it would cut out once the engine warmed if the revs were not kept on. I was informed that this was probably the inlet valve and so had it corrected but after a few more weeks I cannot even get the bike to start. It just doesn’t even sound anywhere close to starting up if you know what I mean. I have again adjusted the inlet and exhaust valve and it still will not start.

Would the inlet and/or exhaust valve being to loose or too tight cause the bike not to start up or is this a completely different problem.

Just FYI the bike is Fuel Injected.

Does anyone have any suggestion on just how to get it going?

Thanks

Too tight yes, also from what you say / state you should have kept your fingers off it.
The fuelling needs sorting providing the valves are seating properly.

The valves aren’t in a bad condition. I’m really thinking it is linked to the battery somehow!

Tell us what you've done to the valves. Adjusting them doesn't tell us enough.

Motorbikes need maintaining... if you dont take it to a dealer to service, who gonna do it? You? Do you know what you are doing? If you had toothe ache, wold you a) go to a dentists, b) try giving yourself a filling DIY with a dremmel and a mirror an a you tube video? This is sort of the analkogy to what yopu are trying to do here!

NOW we are pizing in the dark, trying to diagnose your problems,n not just by renote control, and voodo but shear clairvoyance, given the terse lkack of description of what the peoblem even is!!

Tappets.... yeah; it will need these adjusted aprox every 15oo miles, 25oo KM or so. Is the clerances are wrong lots of things dont work well and poor starting is but one of them! What else neds doing you dont know about or know how top do?

Battery related? GOOD ODDS. little 125's are not nery powerful, so they dont tend to have particularly generouse generators to steal any of the power they may msker; add oners who often get scared of hearing the little motors rev much and so short shift up the gears and make the motprs labour at lower revs NEVER making even the electric generator might... AND using the lights 24/7 cos DTRL meanms 'safety', doing short hops never letting motor get properly warm, or giving struggling genny enough time to top up the battery THEN hammering the battery and sucking out big chunk of any electric genny may have shoved oin it, over using the e-start for longer than probably needed... batterioes go flat... and this is EFI engine with an electrif fuel pump that has to pump up fiel pressure to make squirterds work, an electric brain that needs electric to make squirter work, if the battery is low and the terminl volts drop, s they do when the starter button pressed, the pump and ECU can stop working, and the vike wont start, especilly as starter will probably sp[in motor over too slow to 'catch'......

Start by putting the battery on charge... a good and proppa charge like over night on a 4a bench charger, not hal;f an hour on an omptimate or anything!

THEN, forget the thing has gears.. go thrash it a bit, if it starts good.... and take the hint that that was the problem all along.... THEN either learn mechanics PDQ or read the service schedule in the oiwners book, find a half decent paid mechanic.. note paid mechanic NOT mate down the road who's had a couple of peds before.... and get the thing serviced at the propper intervals by some-one who knows what they is up to!

If charging the battery and thrashing it a bit dont help... well... we are pizzing in the dark; we dont know what you have/haven't done or whats not right... take the thing to that paid for mechanic who shouild and should be able to tell whats actually wrong with it with bike actually in hands reach!

Cutting out when hot sounds like an air leak, always assuming things like the sparks are still occurring.

Sooo, in the space of about 1 1/2 hours after pub closing time, allowing time to get home, the OP has gone from having a faulty bike, to having a replacement all good to go, this on top of the issues on another bike, again posted yesterday, on a 2006 ER6N..

sock perhaps ??
