Hi members.........

I've just bought a 2011 plate lexmoto xtrs with 5 k kms on clock but been stood a few months so need help on we're to start should I tank off drain clean then refill and try or get to carbs too while tanks off. Also needs new chain and a generall overall. Any tips/comments will help. No comments of shouldn't of bought one of these as got it for a hundred quid which surely is worth a go???? Wot ya think???

if the bike has only been stood a few months with the fuel in the tank it still should be ok and not have gone off, have you tried starting the bike

[Alan6770]

No cos didn't want to take any tank debris if any through etc...I've now drained cleaned tank,and ready to add fresh fuel, but wanted to ask if any other things to check, to enable a no problem start-up..

Thanks for your reply...

[skyrider]

right so you should certainly be ok now then nothing like making sure

[Alan6770]

Yes I've finally put fresh fuel in and she started up on the forth kick, sounds good as a125cc goes, but one problem is the battery doesn't seem to be getting a charge up. So any ideas/tips to help sort out the problem would be greatly appreciated...

but one problem is the battery doesn't seem to be getting a charge up...

How do you know? Have you checked voltage?

Yes, getting a charge and taking a charge a two different things. If its been left for a few months its possible the voltage dropped too low and the battery has sulfated and now won't take a charge.
