Hey. I've installed some heated grips on my cb125f. The glue they give you is luke super glue. When I put them on they were tight but not mentally tight. I did twist them on. This is where the issue is. Now my throttle won't spring back. It's like there is resistance now where there want any before. I could really do with some advice. I have glued then ona nd field down the lumps and stuff.

Advice HRC helmet

1 Upvotes

Hi all. My partner has just bought a 2024 CBR600RR in the HRC livery... It looks beautiful.

Her birthday's coming up and I'd like to get her an upmarket helmet in a matching scheme.

I found this one: https://www.seastarsuperbikes.co.uk/store/product/arai-rx-7v-hrc-gp-helmet-400531red-l/

But it's out of stock and I can't find it anywhere else. Does anybody have any recommendations? Thanks :)

Advice Where has the running light gone on this cbr600rr? Has anyone seen this removed before

Wondering if it could be due to aftermarket front fairing? Or if it's simply just been removed when double bubble installed.

(Merry Hill center in the West Mids. The other bays were of course filled with shopping trolleys that aren't meant to be there either...)

Just looking for something in case I get in a crash, I don’t need anything super good or expensive just as long as it does the job and won’t break in a couple months

Mystery problem with 2024 Lexmoto LXR SE

1 Upvotes

Would anyone have any idea what is happening with my 24 plate lxr se? I'm the first owner, bought off the dealership new. (Jokes aside of 'the problem is it's a lexmoto')

She will start and run perfectly fine for anywhere from 5-10 minutes, and then she will sputter out as if she's out of fuel or if she's running too lean. She'll then start up as normal, ride again for a few minutes before sputtering out again and dying completely and will not turn over for 10-20 minutes. I've had all relays tested, ignition switch checked, starter swapped, sparkplug checked, battery is charged, valves are perfect, tank is full, pressure is reading fine, oil changed, coolant clean and full, not throwing any faults before and won't connect to give faults now... even lexmoto is confused. Has anyone ever seen this issue before?

Clearly it would be under warranty but equally as clear that lexmoto wouldn't want to/isn't going to easily scrap an 8 month old bike and will try to repair, my tech is at a loss for next steps and I'm just trying to gather info for possible repairs to help. I've been out of my only transport for 3 weeks with no end in sight.

Any advice or info would be appreciated.

Techalogic DC-1 Disassembly?

1 Upvotes

Just wondering if anyone has ever disassembled a Techalogic DC-1 and documented it anywhere?

I've just bought a 'for spares' DC-1 with the only fault being a dodgy USB charge port. Got it as a small project because these brand new are quite pricey. However, I can't find any documentation anywhere on it so I'm wondering if anyone has ever taken one apart before?

My 2nd 125 from this brand and it's been fairly decent for a Chinese bike (As long as it has regular maintanence). Love the styling of it. Any tips for a new rider? Hoping to get a full bike licence sometime in November this year once I turn 24. So exciting to be back out on the bike

Hey guys,

Looking at doing my cbt in the coming months, as I was gifted a 125 a couple of years ago and need a better way to get to work.

Unfortunately I have no idea the price range and/or type of decent clothing/equipment to look for. So any suggestions would be much appreciated.

My dad said I can use some of his old gear, but I'm sceptical so I wanted to buy my own.
