Hi Chris I've just bought a new zsx r 125 ... obviously the dealership will service it initially for the warranty..but when I service it myself it looks like it hasn't got a usual oil filter . I guess it has a strainer ...is this in the clutch side of the engine and would I have to remove the whole clutch cover side to Access this small strainer ? Many thanks Mark pulling
Aprox 1.5 litres fill it to the corect level on the dipstick run the bike for a couple of seconds with the dipstick in then check again and add more to the corect level
What would you recommend if you have changed the chain, sprockets and bearings on the rear wheel but still getting a tight, loose, tight loose like an egg shape on the drive chain ?
Any help? I got an after market exhaust but have been told a new air filter and re tune us worth it, please could you link one for each I have the lexMoto LXR 125
You carnt really retune these they are efi and not really cost affective to remap a new exhauste wont make that much difference other than sound same with the air box you will be sending loads of air threw the bike carnt use
@@Ridingreviews ok so I have already bought after market exhaust is there any other enhancements I can make to increase torque or bhp ?!? Etc legal and non legal…
That was a very basic service, there was no valve clearance checking and adjusting, no air filter checking and replacing, no fork checking for leaks, no brake pad checking and replacement , and that's what I need to know, would love to see how to adjust valves , but definitely how to get at the airbox to change or clean the air filter, also, how to get at the battery to charge it if it's flat, Hope you could do videos of that please,
It was supost to be very basic this is for very beginers and i did that on purpose because all thing like valves should really be done at a garage on this bike there are 2 black pannels under the seat that pop off and there is 2 10 mm bilts take them out and then you can pull the seat up you can access the air box and battery in there

on the right hand side of the engine there is a rounded triangle plate with 3 8 mm or 10 mm nuts if you take them off the filter is behind there there will be some oil in there as well so make sure you have something to catch it

Hi mate I’m having some issues with my lxr, it wouldn’t start or even turn over and after bump starting it lost power completely. I charged the battery and the bike now starts straight away but when I slow down the bike loses a lot of revs then shuts off completely
I read up that it maybe a problem with the AFR or the air filter but I think there is an issue with the alternator aswell idk enough about bikes yet as I’ve only been riding for a month so it would be much appreciated if you could help
i dont think it will be the filter if you are running out of power it will be the stator the regulator or if this bike has it it will be the charging relay when a bike goes flat all the sensors turn of so it wont run correctly

You could change to an iridium spark plug but that will only make a small difference make sure it is serviced correctly get the tappet gaps checked make sure chain isnt to tight you can increase tire pressure 32 front 36 rear but this will only make a little difference there is only a finite amount of power is yours euro 4 or 5
This would be awesome if it was redone with a better view of what is actually happening. I need to change my spark plug but couldn't see what you were doing. That said, thanks for the post!
No valve clearance check/adjustment? In my understanding its kind of the main thing that needs to be checked according to the service interval. Not sure if id call spark plug and oil change a service, I pray that that's not a first service and that the owners bike actually lasts. Would suck if its not being done, sure it'll ride for many miles without it, but after a while it won't do it any good at all :s. Plus it should be quick and easy on this as its SOHC tappets from my understanding of the bike, well worth it especially in a high revving single. (Ignoring chain and tire pressure, as that's something easily checked/done at home, and needs to be done weekly/2-weekly in the case of the chain anyway if used a lot) Past sentence said that chain looks far too tight, so tight the wheel didn't look to be spinning well. By the time its on the ground with someone sat on it it's going to be so tight its a safety risk, at the least cause a heck tonne of wear on the sprockets. Then add to that the fact that you used red grease as chain lube???? Are you serious? Not only won't that properly lubricate the chain nor penetrate it properly it makes no sense, chain lube isn't that expensive. Tried looking it up and all I can find is one TH-cam video with 80% of its comments saying the same as me. Thought I was making a small comment when I first started watching but oh boy. No valve clearance, chain far too tight and red grease instead of proper chain lube! That's real bad. Feel like I also need to reinforce that its supposed to be slack/freeplay in the chain. I.e to test it, use one finger and lightly push up or down against the chain, that's the freeplay/slack in it. Whats shown in this video is you pulling the chain up and down with two fingers with a fair bit of force, there's next to 0 freeplay in that chain. Seeing this worries me greatly, again I pray that no one got hurt riding that bike. Rather than dismissing this please at least look into your chain maintenance practices, from every garage I've used this does not look ok.
Thank you for your reply this is suppost to be for at home servicing the very basics valves are suppost to be done at a garage and i didnt do it in this video on purpose there is no reason why you carnt use red grease on a chain as it sticks better than chain lube and there has never been an issue with it the chain was a little tite wich i specified in the video bit saying someone could get hurt from this is just rong and slanderous i have service thousends of bikes this isnt the hole of a garage service and you dont see the state of these bikes when they come in lack of maintenance on the customers part as i said the service on this bike is for beginners and if the tappets need doing they get done but not by the owner and that is who this video is intended for tire pressure and chains should be checked on every service due to the owner not doing it i know i carnt please everybody but im trying to help
Hey Chris I have the same LXR and I love the video (it’s my go to when I forget the size of the nuts and bolts lol), you mentioned iridium spark plugs before on another comment which ones would work as I am having trouble figuring it out (and NGK website doesn’t have LXR listed)
Got my LXR delivered, brand spanking new, only 2 days ago. Got around a mile down the road, parked up, went to start it back up again and...NOTHING. No electrics working at all. No lights, no horn, nothing. Going back to dealer but very upset!
It says on it is the code for the engine management light itself it may be a voltage issue make sure your battery is charging correctly and make sure the wires in the clock are in properly
For the warrentee purposes you have to have a garage do it because they are suppost to know what they are doing not always the case but it is what it is
every time I service my bike they replace the spark plug for no reason when you can literally clean it with a wire brush and according to the user manual it should be cleaned and after 3000km replaced they just want the bill to be bigger. Thats why im doing my own oil changes and filter replacements and the "tightening screws" is bs because they glued them all except engine the twats
We do change the spark plug every time that is what the warranty requires we do this on all 125cc bikes if you service your bike yourself you void you warranty

No valve clearance check/adjustment? In my understanding its kind of the main thing that needs to be checked according to the service interval. Not sure if id call spark plug and oil change a service, I pray that that's not a first service and that the owners bike actually lasts. Would suck if its not being done, sure it'll ride for many miles without it, but after a while it won't do it any good at all :s.
Plus it should be quick and easy on this as its SOHC tappets from my understanding of the bike, well worth it especially in a high revving single.
(Ignoring chain and tire pressure, as that's something easily checked/done at home, and needs to be done weekly/2-weekly in the case of the chain anyway if used a lot)
Past sentence said that chain looks far too tight, so tight the wheel didn't look to be spinning well. By the time its on the ground with someone sat on it it's going to be so tight its a safety risk, at the least cause a heck tonne of wear on the sprockets. Then add to that the fact that you used red grease as chain lube???? Are you serious? Not only won't that properly lubricate the chain nor penetrate it properly it makes no sense, chain lube isn't that expensive. Tried looking it up and all I can find is one TH-cam video with 80% of its comments saying the same as me.
Thought I was making a small comment when I first started watching but oh boy. No valve clearance, chain far too tight and red grease instead of proper chain lube! That's real bad.
Feel like I also need to reinforce that its supposed to be slack/freeplay in the chain. I.e to test it, use one finger and lightly push up or down against the chain, that's the freeplay/slack in it. Whats shown in this video is you pulling the chain up and down with two fingers with a fair bit of force, there's next to 0 freeplay in that chain.
Seeing this worries me greatly, again I pray that no one got hurt riding that bike. Rather than dismissing this please at least look into your chain maintenance practices, from every garage I've used this does not look ok.
Thank you for your reply this is suppost to be for at home servicing the very basics valves are suppost to be done at a garage and i didnt do it in this video on purpose there is no reason why you carnt use red grease on a chain as it sticks better than chain lube and there has never been an issue with it the chain was a little tite wich i specified in the video bit saying someone could get hurt from this is just rong and slanderous i have service thousends of bikes this isnt the hole of a garage service and you dont see the state of these bikes when they come in lack of maintenance on the customers part as i said the service on this bike is for beginners and if the tappets need doing they get done but not by the owner and that is who this video is intended for tire pressure and chains should be checked on every service due to the owner not doing it i know i carnt please everybody but im trying to help
How can you have the same tyre pressure in the front and back when front is 120/70/17 and the back is 150/70/17 🤔
Robert Gallie Because they have checked incorrectly, the manual shows that the tyre pressures should be different.
@@robertgallie82 this is how all small capacity bikes are set
Hey Chris I have the same LXR and I love the video (it’s my go to when I forget the size of the nuts and bolts lol), you mentioned iridium spark plugs before on another comment which ones would work as I am having trouble figuring it out (and NGK website doesn’t have LXR listed)
thanks for watching the iridium plug for this one is A NGK CR9EIX
@@Ridingreviews thank you I appreciate it :)
This is awesome , could you do a vid of a chain replacement if possible ?
Yes mate there is one on how to tention a chain on a lxr that is pritty much the same thing
Got my LXR delivered, brand spanking new, only 2 days ago. Got around a mile down the road, parked up, went to start it back up again and...NOTHING. No electrics working at all. No lights, no horn, nothing. Going back to dealer but very upset!
Make sure they greased the back of the ignition barrel hopefully it is just a fuse
that intro always gets me with me headphones in lol
I am making a new one will be out soon
@@Ridingreviews look forward to it bud

Thank you means alot
whether the oil in the gearbox also needs to be changed lexmoto lxr?
There is no gearbox oil on a lxr only engine oil
Hello. can you help me. lexmoto lxr error P0650 ?
when the lights are turned on, the meter goes out - no lighting
It says on it is the code for the engine management light itself it may be a voltage issue make sure your battery is charging correctly and make sure the wires in the clock are in properly
@@Ridingreviews What could be the reason why the battery is not charging. what needs to be replaced. voltage regulator Thank you for your help
when i turn on the lights . the display remains off. and there is no lighting
@@andrzejszymczak440 1 of 3 things poor battery bad regulator bad stator if its under warrentee take it back get them to sort it
I could service the bike myself but i let my dealer do it as they can stamp the service sheet i cannot lol
For the warrentee purposes you have to have a garage do it because they are suppost to know what they are doing not always the case but it is what it is
Riding reviews even after the 2 year warranty i’ll still let them do it 😀
@@adammoorby99 whatever you are comfitable with
Where abouts are you based mate ?
Wolverton in milton keynes
@@Ridingreviews ah that’s a shame if you was closer was going to bring my lxr to u for service lol
@@lewisward910 sorry there are other machanics that can do it but make sure you do you research
@@Ridingreviews I can’t seem to find a service schedule for the lxr, mines done 278 miles atm,
@@lewisward910 first one is about now 300 then it is 1500 then 3000 then 5000 i think thats right
every time I service my bike they replace the spark plug for no reason when you can literally clean it with a wire brush and according to the user manual it should be cleaned and after 3000km replaced they just want the bill to be bigger. Thats why im doing my own oil changes and filter replacements and the "tightening screws" is bs because they glued them all except engine the twats
We do change the spark plug every time that is what the warranty requires we do this on all 125cc bikes if you service your bike yourself you void you warranty
can you show us how to do a valve clearance by any chance ? haha
th-cam.com/video/0_OmlnYf52A/w-d-xo.html this is for a 50 but it is the same on a 125cc
That chain is too tight surly
This chain is to tight i know it was ajusted after this video again
