Would sell for £550. The bike is located in Nuneaton. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201604203158101" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Hello, I'm selling my Lexmoto Arizona 125cc as I have passed my driving test and need the money for insurance. I love this bike it has never let me down! Great starter bike. Easy to tinker with. PM for more details, pictures are too follow. Thanks, Brandon.

So after coming off my bike I've managed to do some repairs! I changed the speedo cable, indicator and the headlight. May seem very basic too a a lot of people here but i'm quite proud of myself! All is left is the handlebars and to purchase a new tank and the bike will be basically like new!

It was broken on the valve that is pushed in as you squeeze the lever. It wasn't coming back fast enough and it wasn't sending break fluid down the lines.

Yeah I know, I passed however. Just need to get my bike sorted and hopefully we're good to go

Hello, My break lever broken so now I've bought a new one. I'm attempting to attach this all up but when I screw the break hose into the master cylinder it appears to just dribble out of the part where it screws into. https://gyazo.com/4d55b9d3ae1c649b3c5c56bacf0accd1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Image above is where it is coming from when the cable is attached. Any suggestions on how I could fix this? Thanks, Brandon.

Found somewhere in Coventry £12! Thank you for the suggestion buddy!

Hello. My front break lever does not work, for some reason the lever does not intake break fluid from the valve inside the reservoir. I have had someone look at it and they said I will most likely need a new one. My CBT is Saturday and I was hoping to get going on Sunday but at this moment in time it appears unlikely without a front break. With it being good Friday, everywhere is closed. Not sure what to do here, anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Well unfortunately it appears the front break lever is broken. The intake valve is very worn and now it doesn't seem to suck in any break fluid. It looks like being ride ready by Saturday is looking unlikely as i'm going to need a new one.

Nope after I take the choke off we're all running with no problems, still got the motor going! The front break is spongy, I've tried flushing the break fluid out but it doesn't seem to come out of the hole. I have unscrewed the nossle on the wheel but it's still only dribbling out. I've spent 15 minutes trying this and still nothing. The break fluid is very black also. Being said before I was having a fiddle about the break lever was very loose and I could pull it in about half way without any tension. But now the break has full tension and isn't wobbling at all.

Well good news! I have filled the engine with oil and used the choke as suggested and the bike holds it's own! Running perfectly chugging along. First time I tried revving it, as you said it cut out. Second time I attempted the bike was happy with it. Need to say though there isnt much middle ground with my choke it's either on or will just snap back into off mode as it appears to be on a cable. I'll have a gander on Friday with the inlet rubber and get back to you if it is sucking in the air. I have to say for some reason when I try the press to start button, the little red one; the bike cuts out and the battery cannot start it. So through out the starting I did use the kick start. Not sure if it is a major issue using the kick start or if it is just a secondary choice. Should mention as well the bike is a 15 plate so it should be fairly new and happy in the age respect, though the previous owner did fall off and leave some cosmetic damage. So it seems that I need to start the bike first then i'll pop my helmet on and gloves etc. Take the choke off and get going! Thank you all for your help, next problem is the front break

Unfortunately no, I haven't completed my CBT yet, it is on Saturday. Of course as anyone would, i'd like my bike functional before I pass so I don't need to piss about after my CBT. As for the battery, the bike cuts out when I start it and do not manually keep revs in. So i'd try adjust the screw on the carb, restart and the bike would still cut out. So I kept attempting to adjust the carb but I believe constantly restarting the bike kills the little battery. Only take three/four tried before it's dead but it's not being rode so it makes sense.

I went mad for a few years so had a 1971 Morris Marina which had a choke. Took a while to get used to it! Lived in fear of cutting out at junctions (which only actually happened once!) Many many moons later when I started riding the 125 I had the same FEAR as before, especially as it didn't have a cheaty engine temp gauge and it tended to cut out in low revs when it was cold regardless How can you prevent cutting out at junctions? I really wouldn't want to do that and the fact my bike can't even hold its ground in my garage worries me let alone on a junction!

I was attempting this but unfortunately killed the battery before any progress was made.

In all honesty mate I wouldn't know what the "choke" is, i'm new to the motorbiking world so I apologize for my lack of knowledge on the subject. Unfortunately the bike didn't come with a manual, only the V5 from the previous owner. I've looked online but a PDF format is £10... No worries, we all start somewhere I wouldn't bother with the manual in that case... Lexmoto manuals are a bit crap! If it was free then it'd be worth a quick look, but not worth paying for. Might be worth grabbing a copy of this instead at some point: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Chinese-Motorcycles-Service-Repair-manuals/dp/1844258718 But anyway, Google tells me this is what your carburettor looks like... http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTU5OVgxMTcx/z/s38AAOSw37tV-XwU/$_57.JPG See that black lever half way up it? That's your choke. The simplified explanation is that it restricts the flow of air into your engine, making for a richer fuel-air mix. Put even simpler, the bike will rev higher when you use the choke, which will help it warm up before you ride it without you having the work the throttle constantly. Don't necessarily whack it up all the way, just start the bike and give it just enough choke that the engine keeps running without you having to stay on the throttle, and let the engine warm up for a little while. Once it warms up you can ease off the choke (because you don't want to be using it unnecessarily, running rich all the time isn't a smart move) and it should keep running without cutting out, assuming you don't have any other problems that want sorting! And then you're ready to ride (My old Lexmoto needed a bit of choke to start properly on anything but the warmest days, you quickly get into a habit of starting the bike and letting it warm up while you stick your gloves and helmet on) Oh, and +1 what Hoggs said - if you're riding a geared bike, you definitely want to be doing a geared CBT. Thank you for the detail explanation! I really appreciate your patience. I'll attempt this tomorrow morning after I've filled the oil and break fluid up. Today I was trying to turn up the revs on the carb (I think) to keep it going but I managed to kill the battery again so I stopped. Hopefully it is just as simple as placing the choke on and letting it warm up. I'll post back either way, thank you for your time.

It's also probably for the best. If I complete the CBT on a scooter I still have no clue how to use the gears on a bike so it'll be very hit and miss and risky. As far as i'm aware it goes like 1N2345 but it's still confusing too me!

I've found the problem. Just kidding. Idle doesn't sound right. I knew i'd get a bloody dig for the Lexmoto

Any idea on how I can do this? I have tried to research but there is a lot I struggle to understand.

Do you know if there is a wait period at all? It may get a little pricey if I have to redo it...

Hello, I'm very very new to bikes so i'm sorry if I struggle to understand anyone who posts but I have a Lexmoto Arizona 125cc. When I turn on the bike I have to keep a little bit of revs in there or the bike will just cut out. What can I do to solve this? Thank you everyone. PS: My CBT is on Saturday. Any tips at all? I've opped for a motorbike but people have said to use a scooter instead as it is much easier. I have no experience using bikes and cannot afford to fail my CBT. Thanks again, Brandon.
