Chibster

Aye throw up a pic for us to see. Preferably of the two cogs and an image displaying how youve set it up so far. Own one of these myself! Good to see another XTRS rider out there!

That clicking sound you're hearing is probably the throttle arm twisting back over the stopper in the kill switch housing. The click is the cable bip knocking against the stopper sides and springing the plastic wall. (its all plastic in a lexmoto!) had a similar issue with my lexmoto when i brought her new, i ended up replacing the entire throttle system myself and it hasn't happened since. (touch wood) I had passed my CBT the same day I brought my bike, from a dealer 16miles away. And I rode it home shitting myself. right down the A60! The best thing I learnt was to ride as much as you can on familiar roads. Don't think what you need to do to change gears. focus on the road, learn to get the feel when you need to switch up and down. Youll pick it all up pretty fast if you find a quiet road or car park to get used to the engine sounds in 1st 2nd and 3rd. Once you know those hints and tones, 4th and 5th are when you want top end out of a 125. Its normal to be anxious and overthink. just focus on enjoying the ride and learning the feel for how the bike responds to your inputs. I picked up hillstarts pretty fast. I usually slacken off the back brake at the same rate I release the clutch and give gas. Clutch in, Brake on. then slowly release both together. get to know your biting point. When I'm stopped at lights I sit a cars length behind whoevers infront of me and feather my clutch to feel where it bites and starts to pull then pull in the clutch again instantly without giving any throttle. (You'll only stall it with a jerk and look like a prat if you fully release it afterall!) Good luck on your test though!

Have you tried bump starting it? Second gear start, clutch in, run itdown a road, preferably down a slight incline to around 10mph and dump the clutch. She should kick in, as soon as you hear the engine whir to life, pull in the clutch again. (I tend to do this straddled on the bike, running alongside them scares the hell out of me in case it decides to run off should you F**k up ) I ride a lexmoto and had a similar issue to this where it wouldn't start after I was changing the throttle cable Have you had the carb out recently too? Are you sure it was put back in the correct allignment? the cut out should face to the rear of the bike, there's usually little slits showing you which way it goes but I've found that the shengway carbs don't have these.
