Same thing here, the KSR seems to be the worst in maintenance. Poor descriptions in the manual, hardly any useful information other than "consult your dealer." Don't get me wrong. This little 125cc is a nice baby and a lot of fun to ride. You just can't believe how annoying a 30-minute search for the lock can be in a dark and cold parking garage. So, I'm really glad you put this video online. Have you got any other Keeway RKV / KSR Code 125 video tutorials for riders in despair? Best wishes from Germany 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thinking about doing this air filter on mine, however im worried because that filter is right behind the engine and its an air cooled bike so hot air would be going to the filter?
Hey getrekttom, can you please say from were you can buy the filter? And you can say me the details from the Filter for example how mutch mm is the Filter.
Tom Priestley not too sure on the tx but I could imagine it having the same layout seeing as Chinese bikes usually go of a simple design. Worth a shot.
Underneath your bike looks exactly the same as my old Keeway speed very easy to work on and very well made compared to other Chinese bikes. My seat was easier to remove with a key but had no storage either so was pretty much useless haha RS mate
Bennyboy biker Yeah I would have preferred a key rather than using the bolts but I hardly ever take the seat of so it's fine haha. The more I play around with the bike I start to love it even more though haha.
Also. I think that air fuel screw being on the engine side. I think that means it adjusts fuel. Not air. Also the way to properly tune them is set your idle slightly high. Then play with the air fuel screw, and wherever the idle sits highest leave the air fuel screw there and adjust your idle back down to where it idles nicely. That will give you the most response just off idle. Hope that makes sense man.
***** Thanks mate, i'm a noob when it comes to this but I thought I would give it a go haha. When I next have time I will re adjust it to how you said :D.
hi ive got the ksr moto ..witch is the exact same bike as the keeway...some one said to make the main fuel jet a couple of points bigger for more power ? ..and i got my bike shop to change the sprockets to more teeth for longer gearing ..i can get up to 25 now in first gear/////!!..any way great vid!
+lewis blackwood Yeah you could make it go quicker by getting a bigger carb ect but just be careful because the engine may not be able to cope with the extra power running through it. And at best you will get about 85 just because aero dynamics plays a huge factor in it too. Thanks mate and I hope you have fun with it what ever you do.
Yeah you need to re-jet the carburettor or it will run to rich. There are two little screws by the side of the carburettor and you only need to turn until it sounds to be running smooth. Once you do that it really does make a difference.
Thank you so much .. was doing my head in figuring out how to remove the seat and side panels (obviously have to remove seat first) ...... just a few questions if you don't mind me woffling ? ... as not much information out their about this bike. 1st how you find the tires ? .. as mine seem dangerous even in dry slips all over place.. doe's not inspire confidence in the corners ... and lethal in wet ! 2nd Gear linkage has too much play and have to give it a good tug to select the gear .. normal ? 3rd take a very long time to warm up .. keeps stopping at lights and junctions (even with choke on) .. also normal ? 4th seems easy to stall ..more annoying if anything. Other than the above i have no real complaints about the bike .. looks excellent, quite fast for a 125cc and pulls really well ..only does 70mph..but it gets there pretty quick ..again for a 125cc .. Brakes excellent, stops an a dime , stock exhaust sounds nice.. .. and dare i say the build quality is much better than the other Chinese bikes .. Sinnis / pulse ..etc ... Seems good and solid and don't feel cheep at all ..... Oh .. and i sprayed the Exhaust heat shield red so it matches other red bits ..looks really nice ..better than the black
cyberjack yeah I remember looking for ages before I figured it out haha. Well for the 1st one the tyres are crap but you will be better of getting some decent tyres as the stock tyres are just some nasty nylon tyres. The gears do have a bit of play in them especially from 1st to second. But I mean I just got on with it.
cyberjack the bike does take a while to warm up and even with the choke on I always had problems with it. But once it gets running it's fine. And yeah it has cut out on me a couple of times especially after long rides. And I'm not sure why 😂. But it was a great little bike. And like you said the build quality for a Chinese bike is pretty good.
Thank you sir for you time to answer .. Glad its not just me then lol ... for the money you certainly do get a lot of bike.. and worth the little niggles.. I'll swap the tyres tho tbf. :-)
TheSpikeyBiker you know what bike i have spikey. but not for long. started you know what, went well. so far. thinking of getting either a old African twin or a used triumph scambler, but options still very much open.
Hi. Love your videos man! I got one question, how tall are You? I really want to buy rkv but i think it will be too small for me. Im 183. Waiting for new videos!
nice video, very good information :) nothing wrong with using a sponge as long as it does the the job, its a learner bike, no point going full on and throwing aload of money at it, not until you get something bigger :) that tax disc lol !!! ride safe mate :)
You certainly made my job of installing a phone charger a lot easier. Thank you. I have the 200cc, but the seat is just the same as the one you showed in your video.
Loving it, but the gear-box sticks sometimes between first and second. Friend of mine bought one too - same problem. Other than that, it's a great little ride. I installed the charger and it works a treat. :-) Getting ready to take it on a camping trip when the weather warms up a bit more. Have you been riding long?
You're a lifesaver, needed to remove seat on my KSR code x for ages to get the tank off
Same thing here, the KSR seems to be the worst in maintenance. Poor descriptions in the manual, hardly any useful information other than "consult your dealer."
Don't get me wrong. This little 125cc is a nice baby and a lot of fun to ride. You just can't believe how annoying a 30-minute search for the lock can be in a dark and cold parking garage.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks man, never knew how to take my seat off on my Keeway TXM.
Thanks man ... now i was thinking about to remove the fuel tank of the RKV 200
how to remove and change battery in tx50 supermotard? hope the position of the battery is the same as in RKV
can you tell me where the hose goes from under tank theres a hose hole close to seat end
Thinking about doing this air filter on mine, however im worried because that filter is right behind the engine and its an air cooled bike so hot air would be going to the filter?
Big Spike doin the how to vids! Love it.
Haha I hope I'm of some use to someone :p.
Hello. I have a problem with this bike. The engine dies and the revs go up. Do you know what could be causing this?
Wow the keeway is so basic and learner friendly never new that haha good vid buddy
Lewis | GreedyBiker Thanks mate :D. The more I do with this bike the more I love it. It is such a great learner bike and looks fantastic too.
TheSpikeyBiker yeah looks great i must say :)
Good way to give back to the community dood. I've never had a bike that you can't take the seat off with a key, 1 or 2 piece. Interesting...
PistnRods Thanks mate, yeah my last bike used a key too. Just a load of faffing about haha
Would it be hard to put a brat seat on the frame?
Hey getrekttom, can you please say from were you can buy the filter? And you can say me the details from the Filter for example how mutch mm is the Filter.
Is there a derestricter on a keeway Rkv. If so can you make a video on how to derestrict it?
Any chance you can talk us through how you actually put the air filter on, I bought the same air filter as you and have NO idea how to put it on
Quality DIY vid mate. Enjoy your day ;)
636Youssef Thanks bro, I will do :P.
Did you swap out the jet when you installed the airfilter?
Hello can i know if the air filter gave some performance more?, and did you had to rejet?
is the water tank under the front tank or seat?
Have KSR Code 125 (Same bike) and have been trying to work out how to get the seat off for about a year :P, cheers!
moinerus Haha I hope it works for you mate :D.
so its better to change for performance filter ? is it changes a lot in dynamics ?
Maciej Jakubiec I would say yes. But it isn't a massive increase in power. It's more of the sound it makes that is impressive.
Cant wait until i do it, thanks for tut !
would that be the same way on a keeway tx125 supermoto can't seem to find out how to take it off
Tom Priestley not too sure on the tx but I could imagine it having the same layout seeing as Chinese bikes usually go of a simple design. Worth a shot.
Thank you I'll take a look your video was very help
Underneath your bike looks exactly the same as my old Keeway speed very easy to work on and very well made compared to other Chinese bikes. My seat was easier to remove with a key but had no storage either so was pretty much useless haha RS mate
Bennyboy biker Yeah I would have preferred a key rather than using the bolts but I hardly ever take the seat of so it's fine haha. The more I play around with the bike I start to love it even more though haha.
Yep I loved mine just wish I could have kept it so a fun little bike and never gave me any trouble
Gonna have a lot of fun with the bandit though :P
I'm not gona lie I'd never heard of s keeway before your videos
Also. I think that air fuel screw being on the engine side. I think that means it adjusts fuel. Not air.

Mine is hard to take off like yours. I don't understand....the ninjas 250 all you have to do is turn a key like the gas tank.
Yeah it seems a bit odd why they decided to bolt it down haha.
hi , i can't speak english very well..
when you put the air filter on , you should do something to the carburetor or nothing?
Yeah you need to re-jet the carburettor or it will run to rich. There are two little screws by the side of the carburettor and you only need to turn until it sounds to be running smooth. Once you do that it really does make a difference.
hi, can you explane me all steps to put air filter on? thank you so much :D
what about toolbox?I means where tools keeping in this bike.
+sami emdad There is a space for a tool box but there was no tool box that came with it haha.
How to take a seat of a harley ( undo one screw and pull)
Only undo the screw if it hasn't already vibrated out :p lol
***** I should have added ,, Unless it has already vibrated off..lol
harleyman5521 lol are Harleys really that bad? haha
Thank you so much .. was doing my head in figuring out how to remove the seat and side panels (obviously have to remove seat first) ...... just a few questions if you don't mind me woffling ? ... as not much information out their about this bike.
1st how you find the tires ? .. as mine seem dangerous even in dry slips all over place.. doe's not inspire confidence in the corners ... and lethal in wet !
2nd Gear linkage has too much play and have to give it a good tug to select the gear .. normal ?
3rd take a very long time to warm up .. keeps stopping at lights and junctions (even with choke on) .. also normal ?
4th seems easy to stall ..more annoying if anything.

Awesome mate, helped alot.!!! :-)
inderjit singh Glad it helped you out mate :D.
Hi What is the max speed?
How Much kilometer/L
Does anyone know how to remove the battery
Nice one Spikey, hopefully some very useful info there, if it took you a year to discover how to remove the seat then you won't be on your own, RSM8.
Lol yeah a few people had wandered how to take the seat off. Seems odd for it to be bolted down. Thanks bro.
TheSpikeyBiker i have looked in the haynes manual for my bike, i have to take both side panels off before seat can be removed. havent tried it yet
Outer Rider Have you got a Keeway rkv too?
TheSpikeyBiker you know what bike i have spikey. but not for long. started you know what, went well. so far. thinking of getting either a old African twin or a used triumph scambler, but options still very much open.
Haha yeah :P. A triumph scrambler sounds good.
Hi. Love your videos man! I got one question, how tall are You? I really want to buy rkv but i think it will be too small for me. Im 183. Waiting for new videos!
+Tomasz Sienkiewicz Thanks mate. I am around 174 and it is quite a big bike considering it is a 125. I think you will be fine on it.
The most difficult part of the process seems to be the seat! It's wierd cos my bike is nearly identical to urs but has a key system.
inferior125riderHD It's very odd indeed. Like why do they have to make things so complicated when a similar bike has a simple mechanism haha.
Hmm, okay okay. I WILL now go try this out on my Yamaha R6...be right back! :)
Lol I bet even your bike has more storage than mine :p
TheSpikeyBiker The secret is to stuff everything in your pants when riding, but shh, no one knows about this!
I will try this next time I go to Starbucks haha.
good tutorial mate
MrOneill97 Thanks mate :D.
Nice Spikey Mate!
Thanks mate :D.
Did you delete the video with the ngk spark plugs? I wanted you to send me the link of it if u have it
nice video, very good information :) nothing wrong with using a sponge as long as it does the the job, its a learner bike, no point going full on and throwing aload of money at it, not until you get something bigger :) that tax disc lol !!! ride safe mate :)
Thanks mate :D. Yeah I know I need to get rid of the tax disc haha.
Ooohh man this is so basic and easy to do
Thanks bro!! :) :)
Duarte Machado I'm glad I could help :D.
haha just there casually working on your bike in the middle of nowhere
MrOneill97 Lol about 7 cars went pass, they must have been so confused :P.
Good how to man.
DRCsyntax Thanks mate :D.
Thank you SO much! :-)
Elizabeth Johnson You are welcome :D. Took me forever to figure it out haha.
You certainly made my job of installing a phone charger a lot easier. Thank you. I have the 200cc, but the seat is just the same as the one you showed in your video.
Yeah I was thinking of installing a phone charger too. Are you enjoying your bike so far?
Loving it, but the gear-box sticks sometimes between first and second. Friend of mine bought one too - same problem. Other than that, it's a great little ride. I installed the charger and it works a treat. :-)
Getting ready to take it on a camping trip when the weather warms up a bit more.
Have you been riding long?
BTW, mine is a Motobi RKV200 - Same
company really.
De verdad se piensa que poniendo un filtro cónico va a correr mas? xD
Niceyy
My KEEWAY RK150....
