Lexmoto's profilation of this bike The Lexmoto XTRS entered the range trying to fill the shoes of the fantastic Lexmoto XTR. Using our experience we added the CBB balance shaft engine to the model to smooth the riding experience for the rider. It has been unbeatable in terms of value ever since.
General information Model: Lexmoto XTR-S 125 Year: 2016 Category: Sport Rating: 58.7 out of 100.
I'm considering a Chinese 125 to commute on. I have the SV 650 but want a 125 with a top box that I'm not too bothered about. So it's the choice between spending £1000 on a used YBR or buying a Lexmoto/Lifan with a years warranty for a couple of hundred more. Lexmoto seem to have it together with good parts supply, etc. Does anyone have any actual experience of running one?

Hi Generally speaking Lexmoto seem to choose bikes that are likely to be reliable, I had an Arrow in the past, and it was perfectly fine, so much so, when my nephew wanted to start, I got him a second hand 1. Having said that, from what I hear, the ZSA, effectively the replacement for the Arrow in their lineup, isn't as good as the arrow it's replaced. As you say, if needed parts are easy to come by, and I think Lexmoto are quite open to who saying the original bike manufacturer & model number is, helping provide alternative options to buying spares.

I own a Lexmoto Street 125 and have had horrendous problems getting certain parts. I would suggest getting the Japanese due to the parts support and readily available 2nd hand parts availability. The bike itself is fine when it runs but in hindsight I would have purchased YBR or CBF or Varadero. It's a false economy and the only reason I have not purchased another bike is that I'm looking to do my full test in 3-4 months and don't want to throw anymore money away needlessly.

I own a Lexmoto Street 125 and have had horrendous problems getting certain parts. Which parts, and do you know why? Because it's discontinued?
I'm genuinely interested, as Lexmoto started as a parts importer and they've had a good reputation for it. They went out of their way to source me a mudguard to fit specific dimensions rather than a particular bike, for example.
But what linuxyeti said: stick to the best selling bikes. I'm disappointed that they've got so many models on the go, with so much overlap between them. I get why, they want bikes with a higher margins than the popular Vixen and Arrow, and are throwing dozens at the market to see if anything sticks.
But that's a great way to ruin a hard won reputation for supporting what they sell, if they're not providing the vital parts backup. UPDATE Shit-the-bed, they've finally dropped the Vixen and Arrow. Well, it's a lottery now, and no mistake.
UPDATE 2 And Learner Legal have dropped the HN125-8 (honestly badged Vixen). I am disappoint. Jianshe JS125-6A or 6C from Learner Legal it is then. Biking is.

I've been wanting to post this since I noticed it yesterday but didn't really think anyone would be interested and never really could think of an appropriate place on the forum.
It's been a long awaited fate and one I was informed of with the last chat I had with the dealer, the 157 FMI engine just can't be pushed through to Euro 4 so had to face the chop. Also in that conversation was a 50/50 between pulling out of Europe all together or hoping that the extra factories or whatever kept their promise and manufactured bikes for them post Euro 4. Rogerborg wrote. Which parts, and do you know why? Because it's discontinued? The Lexmoto Arrow is going the same way. Currently out of stock are the Lextek front brake pads (is significant because there's only one type) and chain and sprocket sets.
There's a guy on fleebay called chinese parts that has brake pads for £6 (I think) and is the only seller in the UK at present from what I can gather, an email from lexter said they wont be in stock for a few weeks (the brake pads). I'd say lexmoto are good at stocking parts while they sell the bike but the above poster isn't the first time I've heard about discontinued bikes suffering for parts few and far between. I'd hope that with the Arrow being 1/2 of the bread and butter of the brand that second hand parts and such will be readily available for at least the foreseable future. I am however very tempted come latter this year sell on the Arrow to ensure that I'm not caught in this crossfire with a bike I can't get parts for.
It's unknown ground at the moment I'd say. I can't really type a long normal post about how much I do or don't like my Arrow because even though I own one of their bikes I can't say I can see a clear future for the brand. They've been good at doing lean Euro 3 bikes from stock with the bare basics of mechanical put togetherness but don't see them getting along with Euro 4 very well. Go with the YBR and avoid Lexmoto until the dust settles and we've all seen what happens.
I really wouldn't buy a Lexmoto new. You basically own the bike for five minutes before the first 186 mile service comes around and you're forking out up to seventy quid for parts and labour, then three hundred and something for the next one (that miles for the service not the cost), you spend the early days doing nothing but donating all that money you saved over a YBR to a dealer for the services. Buy second hand for five - six hundred pounds and get a manual and learn to work on them yourself. Edit; I'm going to come back to this and post some more tomorrow, been a long day and some comments above where probably posted a little too hasty.

Well aware my Lexmoto Street 125 has been discontinued. The excuse they use is that they are only an importer of bikes and are subject to the whims of the suppliers in China. So it's a false economy as you maybe one of the lucky ones that all consumables are available during your ownership period for your bike. But it's more likely that they will not be available.
It's up to the potential buyer whether they take their chance. It's got to the stage where once I pass my test I shall either give bike away or scrap it due to it essentially being worthless.

I believe that Lexmoto is a brand of Llexeter, owners as well of CMPO and Lextek. And they started as suppliers of parts for chinese motorcycles. Also there seems to be a healthy amount of parts for the street even if discountinued: A por ellos, que son pocos y cobardes.

Let's just put it this way let the poster require certain parts and see how he gets on. It's his money and his choice and ultimately things may work out or not.
I just would not go down that road now after a years experience of trying to obtain certain parts which I'm not going to go into in detail. Let's just say I have tried and call it quits.

Hi The Lexmoto street, or should that be Dafier DFE125-8A, are not down to Lexmoto, and you can see why. They used a subsidury of the old Qingi (not the current owners of quingi) who's former chairman is service a life sentence.
However, if you look for parts for a Suzuki EN125-2A, these will almost certainly fit the street, the electrics are also the same.

Also in that conversation was a 50/50 between pulling out of Europe all together or hoping that the extra factories or whatever kept their promise and manufactured bikes for them post Euro 4. It is going to be very interesting to see which, if any, 125s survive Euro 4. And not just Euro 4, but also anti-tamper, OBD (!), and ABS or linked brakes that requires front and rear discs, always-on headlights, and low evaporation fuel systems. Even under the most laissez faire interpretation, all bikes registered in the UK right now should have the last two, no exceptions, and I understand that vented carbed bikes shouldn't be able to satisfy the evaporation requirements, yet here we are with the DVLA very resolutely looking the other way.
It can't last though. 2017 will also see the end of both the YBR and CBF125. Presumably there will still be some 125s available, but it'll be a far leaner field, fuel injected, possibly water cooled, electronics out the wazoo, more expensive, with more to go wrong.

Let's just say I have tried and call it quits. You're painting quite a negative picture of Lexmoto's parts support and one that's not really true. I standby the above comment I made yesterday in that you're not the first person I've heard saying that they cannot get parts for a discontinued bike but I fail to recall what model it what or how long it had not been made for, how many where actually sold etc. Alongside the CMPO link below (or lexmoto's website that then goes onto CMPO) here's an. Page after page of parts. You're hammering a nail into the Lexmoto brand but failing to provide the oh so important part name that you've failed to find after a year that has rendered your bike worthless.
You're not craking code for the FBI here you either want to explain your comments or your just preaching hate and posting nonsense comments. I do want to adjust the comments I made above, as edited last night they where posted a little hasty. Long day, sun getting to me, little niggles with the bike so on and so forth. The brake pads on ebay are, what's annoying is that I cannot tell if they're the correct ones. The CMPO front brake pads are out of stock and will be for a few weeks but upon looking at how many models those one brake pads cover it seems there' quite a lot so is somewhat understandable, it is however annoying that an important consumable wont be in stock for 'a few weeks,' no I haven't tried a dealer in person. Chain and sprockets are just another observation of an important consumable out of stock, again alternative's on ebay available, and again no I haven't tried a dealer. I don't need these parts yet but it was a little annoying to see the one time I might actually need to order something important they're not available.
Saying that the brake parts are on available in the UK through that one seller was also posted in haste, ignore. Regarding the comment I made about selling the bike it's been on my list of 'things to do' since I passed my A2 last year, so you can understand that having to endure a very, very slow tiddler for almost 1/2 of you're A2 license's life has been somewhat of an annoyance rather than getting rid and upgrading as soon as I'd past my test. I've never (thus far) had any issues with parts supply and while under warrenty every replacement part I've ever needed has been done (or so the shop says) without question (providing you keep the bike dealer serviced for the warrenty). I'd say it is unknown ground (to me) but if anything I'd like to think it effects future Lexmoto buyers rather than present Vixen/Arrow owners (providing parts support continues) because the new-er (re-branded) models are not all that well known vs bikes that have been around an age. I say I can't see a way past Euro 4 for Lexmoto because they're being awfully quiet about how they plan to adjust their bikes to meet the standard and continue to be sold in the future.
Also the conversation I mention with the dealer didn't exactly paint a positive picture, I'd say at the time the conversation was had it was all up in the air. Your commute. How many miles, what speed are the roads, any dual carriageway / NSL / motorway? Out of the Lexmoto Arrow / Vixen I'd go with the Vixen based on reading that it achieves much higher speeds (despite the same engine, lord knows why) than the Arrow ever could. Out of Lexmoto / YBR I'd go with the YBR based on nothing but that's what I'd choose if I had my time again, that's nothing against Lexmoto it's just that all considered between positive and negative my main experiences with the Arrow have been negative. The Arrow has a top speed of 55mph with stock gearing. Going up one or two gears improves top speed but increases the time it takes to get there so ultimately you're left with a slower bike down low that you have to either adjust to riding or rev a little at slow speeds to get a good pace going because there's no torque.
Riding the Arrow provides a very, very slow pace of life and not really one that I enjoy. You have to understand that these bikes are 8-9hp (I think), just think about that in comparison to the figure your SV 650 produces, also take into consideration that horses are lost the longer you own the bike (I think. That's true of any engine, right?).
Also regarding speed I'd say that for anything other than 30-40mph roads it's useless. The most annoying thing is that I've wanted to go places and just ride, explore etc for such a long time but haven't been able to because there's a chance that I could come across a route where 50-60 or above mph might be required and at that point I become a hazard, as such I've rendered the bike a worse horse and have accepted that my rides outside of commutes are limited until I can upgrade to a 500cc commuter or alike. Power is also annoying because I think I've managed a handful of overtakes in my ownership, the power just isn't there, couple of days ago on a dual 40mp carriageway with a slow truck of some form in Lane 1 up ahead was an annoying example of how I had to endure the view of his rear from a distance because I didn't have enough in the bike to go into Lane 2 without causing a hazard and get past it to then keep a good pace in front of it rather than eventually to get in front and slow it down in front of him.
Also not being able to catch up and give the finger to cars that cut you up etc is annoying, you just don't have road presence. Outside of speed, of which is my main issue with the Arrow, comes my second favourite niggle, reliability. On the whole the main issue that you're bound to encounter at some point or another from new is the electronics, you'll encounter issues with the electrics regardless at some point in your ownership.
From new you want to disable the sidestand kill switch, replace the spark plug and cap to an NGK one and that, hopefully, is most of your issues prevented on that front. I've never been stranded at the roadside but I've had plenty of non niggle free, rough, uncomfortable rides. Yesterday for example the voodoo of the horn contentiously sounding when pressing the indicators continued and I disconnected it and carried on (on-going issue) and the other one was the clutch feeling loose or something not right, turns out the vibrations on the bike had caused the locknut to loosen so I gave it a tighter than needed twist to lengthen how long it is until it happens again, and it will as it has before.
It's just loads of little small things that I've put up with since I purchased it that aren't exactly what you want as a new rider, there's enough to focus on without a bike that throws problems at you that you don't know how to solve so have to go back to the shop time and time again. At this point I've learn the common small niggles and how to remove them quickly, just be aware you're constantly fiddling with things so if you don't like being hands on or have limited knowledge be prepared to learn quickly or pay for them all to be removed when they occur.
Bike vibrates a fair bit. Can't make a comment on how much of that is through the pegs or bars but my right mirror has a habit of become useless beyond a set speed or somewhere in the rev range of which I just then shoulder check as and when I need. On the plus side the bikes about as basic as they come. 4871 manual is generic and you're left filling in the gaps between the advice covering all models and what's in front of you but the more you read and longer you look at the bike the easier it all becomes. You really can't get an easier bike to work on. Parts are cheap as are services.
Build quality. Rust, mainly. Exhaust being the forefront of that. If you buy new ask the shop to replace the studs with ones that wont rust and apply ACF-50 to the downpipes the moment you get home. It's basically just a cosmetic annoyance since it's very cheap paint they use.
Elsewhere I've no real issues with rust, small bits here and there on bits and bobs but the major parts like swingarm, suspension, forks etc all remain good, that's after two winters and all weather riding (common sense to conditions applied). Again with the servicing.
If you're confident in doing your own work then get the first two - three (during the bikes brake in period) done by the dealer to solve any small niggles under warrenty and then invest in a 4871 from there on out. I'd say keep a friendly to and fro'ing with your local Lexmoto dealer just to get on the good side should you find yourself back there time and time again. The Lexmoto Arrow, as my mechanic has informed me, isn't all that easy and pleasant to get along with, my example is apparently one of the better looked after and smooth ones but I still find it a major annoyance at times. The Lexmoto Venom apparently also has a crappy gearbox. I don't know if there's anything else I can add, nothing comes to mind, ask away if needed.
But yeah, long and short I'd go YBR over the Arrow given my time again despite the fact I've never ridden or owned one. I'd say that since you're investing in a bike that's your second and not learning (eg; you've passed your tests) then invest in something that suits exactly what you need out of it and can own long term rather than worrying about owning something that's disposable after a couple of years. Another reason I'd buy second hand is because they can be had for £500-£600 (or less) on the private market, but from what I gather that price range is the half decent non potato models. If you buy form new expect to only be able to sell it for a few hundred if ever you choose to do so, the bikes are cheap as chips from new and you never really make any money or sell them at the same price because why would you pay £900 for a year old one when you could have that OTR with brand new. Let someone else take the hit with rust and all the issues and buy one that's been owned a couple of years.
Mileage's are never really going to get high because of the limited factors in the ways they're able to be used, in my experience at least, I couldn't really give you a good figure on how long the engines do or don't last. I've never, yet, read a story of a Vixen / Arrow giving up on life. Oh and the bikes about as similar to a CG 125 as possible without being a CG. That all, take two, I think.

Obviously nothing major as it's not an issue being able to tell what speed your going. Or whether you can see in the dark or whether other cars can see your visible.And you've compared those parts to the Lexmoto Arrow?

But with incorrect and misleading info at times from Lexmoto/CMPO. All parts have been replaced but would not want to have the issues again. It's good info to be aware that most parts that are compatible for the Suzuki EN-125-2A are also workable with the Street.
I don't want to come across as completely against Chinese bikes but my first-hand experience of support has coloured my view. The bike itself when in full working order is fine. It gets to nearly 60mph but thats probably more down to the fact I'm 15.5 to 16.5 stone most of the time that reduces slightly it's top speed.

They are crap. Really crap, to the point where you get pangs of jealousy seeing someone ride past on a Chinese 125. Frugal on fuel though but they need to be as the tank is the size of an ants bladder. 8 miles each way, why not a ped? Cheap, simple and easy.

I'll hold on for a decent YBR or even an Innova 125. The good news is you can a Yamaha YBR 125 so you don't have to wait for one to come available to find out what they're like.
That would soon tell you if the bike is really for you or not. If that doesn't work then you could get yourself down to and sit on a Vixen/Arrow and see if you can nab a deal should you decide you like the look of them. No test rides on Lexmoto bikes at all sadly.

I'll hold on for a decent YBR or even an Innova 125. Hi Don't be put off, I had an Arrow ( the cheapest bike they did at the time) and i had no problems using it to commute between Wolverhampton & Birmingham, and as I said, my newphew now has an Arrow having done his CBT before Christmas, again, I bought him that, based on my own experience. If you look at my signature, you can see, I'm more than happy with chinese bikes, never come across any real problems.
Also, as you can see, a bit of research, and you can generally find equivalent parts from other suppliers, and even buying almost direct from China isn't such a big deal, using Aliexpress or Tabao, using an agent, I tend to use Tabaoring as the agent, and they seem pretty good.

Motorcycles and scooters are unique in the bond that they form with their owner; in return for providing the hours of joy and freedom they require essential checks and maintenance. To help you, we've put together a list of things to check and maintain on a regular basis.
Lexmoto Xtrs 125 User Manual
By doing these checks not only are you prolonging the life of your vehicle, you're also ensuring your own safety. These checks should never replace the servicing and advanced routine maintenance performed by a skilled Technician, and if you are in any way unsure of what to do, please consult your nearest Lexmoto Dealer and/or Technician for advice.
Should any check result in you finding a fault in your vehicle please take it to your nearest Dealer as soon as possible. Don't ride it there- your safety could be at risk. Solution This should be checked while the tyres are cold and the engine switched off. Check the pressure of the tyres against the recommendations found in your user manual or by your Dealer. Inspect the tread for wear and embedded foreign bodies (such as glass, sharp stones, etc). Check the the slack in the driver chain lower run midway between the sprockets- this should be niether excessively tight or loose.
If necessary, lubricate the chain with oil or grease recommended by your Dealer, wiping off any excess. Also check the wheel rims for any damage or irregularities. Solution With the engine switched off and your bike off it's stand, test your front and rear brakes by applying pressure onto the brake levers or pedal. Ensure that there is the recommended amount of play in the levers, and that there are no fluid leaks. Test your front suspension by applying front brake and compressing the front forks 2-3 times.
Inspect for any damage, leakage or burst/loose seals and fittings. Look at your rear swing arm and check for worn swing arm bearings. Mein nagin nagin dance nachna mp3 song free download.
Sit on your vehicle and test the rear shock absorber by 'bouncing' gently a couple of times. Again, inspect for any damage, leakage or burst/loose seals and fittings. Solution Firstly, always keep your fuel tap set to 'OFF' when your vehicle is not in use, and be careful not to switch onto reserve useage instead of the main reservoir when operating the tap. Check the Fuel lines for any signs of leakage or deterioration, and make sure the pipes are not pinched or blocked in any way. Also make sure you have enough fuel for your journey. Make sure your vehicle is level (i.e not on a side stand) and in a neutral gear if applicable, and start the engine, letting it idle for a couple of minutes (and even longer in cold weather): this lets the engine oil lubricate all the engine's internal workings.
To check the oil level stop the engine and let it cool for at least 3 minutes. Remove the oil dipstick (located as per your user manual) and wipe it with a clean rag. Again making sure that the vehicle is on level ground, reinsert the dipstick into the plug and then remove it- the correct oil level should be displayed. If your level is low, add more oil as required.

Try to avoid mixing oil (consult your Dealer for the best kind), and never ride your vehicle with insufficient oil. Solution Your throttle should be smooth and return to full close on release. Once your engine is warm (see 'Fuel and engine'), test opening and closing the throttle- without 'revving' excessively.
If your throttle action is not smooth, add lubrication to the throttle cable (see your Dealer). For vehicles with a hand clutch (Twist and Go scooters and motorcycles aren't part of this), check that the clutch is working properly and that there is the recommended amount of play in the levers.
Inspect for fluid leaks and ensure that the cable is properly secured in it's clamps and clips. For vehicles with a manual choke, check for smooth transition when using the lever and add lubricant if necessary. Avoid leaving the choke on for prolonged periods of time, as this can flood the engine. Latest Models.

This bike stands out from the the commuter and trails bikes by far as a fantastic looking sports bike. Front and rear disc brakes add to the aggressive and stylish look and also mean that the braking is really crisp and sharp.
I own and use the Lexmoto Arrow to commute on a near enough daily basis at under £1000 OTR it's the cheapest (along with the Lexmoto Vixen) to put on the roads, and dependant on riding history. Cheap to insure. The problem is that lexmoto bikes are built to a budget, the more you invest in terms of purchase price the more you'll be but hurt when you come to sell and someone wont offer more than £400-500. Just look at 2011/2012 models of the arrow/vixen to tell you how much the great XRTS will soon be worth. Don't believe the figures they fail to take into account the rider, conditions etc.
The new Lexmoto Venom claims 65mph although the bike it was before lexmoto re-branded it claims 70-72mph. Clearly figures made out of thing air to appeal to potential buyers. Dealerships may let you sit on the bikes but lexmoto operate a 'no test ride' or 'buy as seen' policy, I purchased mine brand new out the dealership including a PDI.
Electrics failed causing me to brake down 9 days after buying it, easy fix. But I do question and have ever since questioned if the bike could be assembled by kids. Get yourself to a shop and sit on the bikes, i'm not happy with my Arrow due to a poor gear linkage design witch makes rides endless amounts of hastle at times.
Tempted by the ZSX or Adrenaline as my next attempt. Due to the 'no test ride' policy unless you have someone who's been through those problems often sales people in shops aren't going to be honest with you until well after you've made the purchase. Having a good dealership that are honest in their opinion helps. Also expect exhaust rust, the pipes are cheap VHT paint form what I can tell. I used mine through winter and cleaned after every ride, still have rust showing.
Tax is based on engine size, so that won't be any cheaper. And the YBR Custom is in the second lowest insurance class going, so I doubt the XTR is going to be cheaper on that front either. Have you actually called up your current insurer for a quote on insuring the XTR? Also, there is nothing economic about running a Chinese bike. I can say this because I ran mine for two years until someone ran it off the road two weeks ago. Lexmotos in particular have stupidly small service intervals.
Also they have a nasty habit of discontinuing models very shortly after introducing them, making it a bugger to source parts - more expense. In the long run it's far cheaper to run a Jap bike, the only real issue is the initial cost of buying one vs. The much lower initial cost of a Chinese bike.
But you've already got a Jap 125! So as one of the resident Chinese 125 owners, and one of the more seasoned ones at that (just shy of 14,000 miles on a Lexmoto Lowride), let me say that there is NOTHING good about this idea! Of course, I mean this in the nicest possible way.

Don't waste your money, Get your next license and get a decent suzuki/kawasaki/yamaha. YOU WILL REGRET A CHINESE BIKE (food to).

I can clean my Arrow to make it look brand spanking new and shiny, doesn't mean that the gearbox design is going to cause the next owner any less trouble than it did for me.
All in all, inspect the bike in person and look of for rust spots on the downpipes and nuts in general throughout the bike, the usual checks all over to identify scratches etc. Also best for you to start the bike from cold and listen out for any issues / signs of low rpm's or not running properly. Just be aware what choice you make that buying second hand means no warranty something used quite often on chinese bikes (as in my expeirence), be prepared to buy the £16-17 chinese haynes manual and learn from scratch or be prepared to pay high garage prices when something goes wrong. I'm confused as to how it being second hand makes it a better idea:S All that means is you don't even have a warranty to fall back on when in inevitably plays up!! And you don't even know if the engine was worn in properly. My Chinese bike was only £1300 brand new, and within a year I'd paid that much again for servicing. And then I paid another £200 to get it roadworthy again and fix the Chinese bike dealer's bodges!
Trust me, buying a Chinese bike is never a way to save money. You won't even get a good return selling it on; £1000 for a second hand one is crazy money, you shouldn't expect to pay north of £500 no matter what the age or mileage. They're taking you for a ride.
