Lexmoto LXR won’t start

[MatMeister]

Hey I’ve had trouble starting my LXR recently

When pressing the starter button the motorbike cranks and sounds normal however it will not catch on and start.

Motorbike will jump start from second gear as long as it’s going over 10mph and throttle is maxed out. After motorbike is started throttle has to be added constantly otherwise after 5 seconds of no gas being added the motorbike will die.

Battery voltage is 13v and I doubt it’s a issue with the battery

Any tips and help would be appreciated if requested I can send videos of the issue.

It is obviously short of fuel at low revs but what year is the bike and has it a carburettor or is it fuel injected?

[MatMeister]

It’s a 2020, and is fuel injected.

[jaffa90]

2020 , should be under a warranty so young!
Your fuel injected engine has many sensors which adjusts the fuel intake.
I take it that the air intake and exhaust system has not been blocked?

Any reason you can't get it fixed under warranty?

The dealership I bought it from was horrible they made a lot of mistakes they were garbage in sorting out all the papers, this is my first bike so I had no idea you need a warranty booklet which they did not give me when I bought the bike from them which was in February 2020.

I don’t think anything is blocked however I have no idea :/ I’m not too mechanic savvy and a mechanic I’ve bought the bike to cannot seem to find a issue

starts if you bump it?
I'd give the kick stand switch a good looking at.
Could also be the fuel pump if it runs badly
You should be able to hear it spin up as it pressurises the system
when you turn on the ignition.
Mind you, thas just guesses, ideally you need to get the fault codes
orf it.
find the OBD socket and put up a pic of it.

Yeah bumping it works however not always I was trying to bump it for 1 hour last night before it actually started, I can take a look at the switch.

I’ll let you guys know it wasn’t always like this. The issue came out of nowhere and firstly it had difficulty starting when the engine was turned on for the first time in the day even when it was 25C outside however after that once the engine warmed up it started normally then the issue escalated into not starting at all

Hahaha no I wouldn’t dare to try to fix it myself unfortunately none of the services that were done on this motorbike were at Lexmoto dealerships and when I called in to a different dealership that’s closer to home they told me I need a warranty booklet that dates all my services it’s a bummer I guess.

It just bothers me that my bike was at a mechanic for a whole week and he couldn’t seem to find the issue.

[MatMeister]

Also might help to say, I went to another mechanic that told me it might be the fuel pump but even he wasn’t confident in his answer and I really don’t want to spend £90 on a fuel pump just for it to turn out that it’s not the issue.

[MatMeister]

I’ll talk to them and see what I can do.

To be honest main reason I didn’t go to the Lexmoto Dealership for my services is because they are a decent distance away from me whereas there is a motorbike mechanic literally 2mins away so I guess I just took the lazy route.

You don't have to go to a Lexmoto dealership to maintain the warranty. The law changed a few years ago and provided the bike has been serviced as scheduled by a VAT registered garage they cannot void the warranty.

You can take it to any Lexmoto dealer for warranty work.

Yeah but that's not about warranties.

That’s odd when I called into the closer dealership (not the one I bought it from) they told me they only do 1 year warranty and that if I want to have 2 I have to go to the original dealership from which I bought it from.

[MatMeister]

that’s why I hate going to dealerships they are lazy and most of the time can’t be asked to do anything.

Also with the starting issue my fuel economy has gonna extremely horrible we are talking about going from around 250 miles on a full tank to roughly 100/150

You guys think that means that it’s definitely my fuel pump?
