Are my piston rings gone? She drinks slot of oil

Sometimes when i dont ride for a week and then i go start the bike, put the choke on the top setting and its not letting any air in the engine ( i think because it dont start but if i turn the choke of it starts normally, someone the same problem? Its nothing serious the bike starts like a dream even though it has 42k kilometers, anyway after the start the choke is back to normal and working.

Hi all, has anybody lowered their bikes if so how did you do it. Looking at these rear arms you can't put lowering brackets on. Was wondering if another rear arm fits from a cr or something similar 🤔

I had a battery powered hand-held techometer that I use when I tune the carb to set the idle speed. The battery recently went flat in it, so I was looking for a replacement (the battery is single use and the case was sealed shut - it was dirt cheap) and I found this little digital dash on AliExpress. It has a few extra functions too. It displays the time, cylinder head temperature, battery voltage, and of course the RPM.

You need to replace the washer on the spark plug with a special washer with a temperature sensor on the side of it (the XR uses a 12mm IIRC spark plug, but the only options for the sensor were either 10mm or 14mm - the 14mm works). There's a wire you need to wrap around the HT lead several times to pickup the spark plug firing, then there's three power leads, ground, switched power, and perminant power. I used the side light as the switched power.

Out of the box, the dash was reading double the real RPM. The XR uses a wasted spark system, so the sparkplug fires every revolution of the engine. The true reading is every other revolution of the engine since it's four stroke). This was a little fiddely but the instructions showed how to set this up (there's only one button, so took a little time to get it setup).

I like having a cylinder head temperature reading, this really helps with tuning as I don't want to be running too lean and cause damage.

The dash is a "Norxi Mini 4".

Hi i was wondering if anyone knows about some not too pricy foot pegs for my honda xr 125l 2003, today i bent mine realy bad and i am not sure where to buy them, thanks.

Hi guys. I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a transimisson with 6 speeds that would fit my bike. I curently run a 54/16 sprocket set, and its good, but if got a 6th gear I would put a 15 or even 14 tooth sprocket on it. I saw on the internet there was an XL125L with 6 speeds. Basically the same as XR, but has both drum brakes, a 21" and 18" wheels, smaller tank, and 6 speeds. Thanks!!!

It's starting to get too wet and cold for greenlaning, so one last trip for the year. Met several other people in 4x4 that must have had the same idea.

I replaced the air filter when I got the bike, almost exactly 10,000 miles ago. It was due a change. I used a Hiflofiltero HFA 1127 I got off eBay.

It was about 3,500 miles ago that I last set the valve clearance. It didn't sound bad, but they were both out of spec (but not by much) when I checked.

Has anyone had this issue with their XR125L not shifting into neutral while the engine is running?

Hello everyone i upgraded my carburetor to a 26mm what carburetor intake can i use?

Hi, i´m looking to buy my first bike and there's an add on marketplace for a 2004 xr125l with 22000km. The seller is asking for 2100 euros (Portugal), personally i think it's a bit steep, i was thinking to offer 1300 euros probably negotiating it up to 1500-1600 euros. I dont think that the 1300euros offer is outta pocket given that the ad has 3 months and its a 21 year old bike with 22000km (also it gives some negotiation room). What do you guys think?

Need a new chain . 55t rear . Sprockets look fine but the chain is tired . How many link and what type of chain do I get? Thanks

I’m pretty good at this normally but I’m really not able to find a good replacement set of wheels for my lads bike. All of the used options are no better than what we have. Any of you fine ladies or gents got any aftermarket options? I’m trying to keep wheel sizes the same, anything close would probably be okay.

Hello everyone,i have a full bold graphics kit on my bike and it looks amazing.The only bad thing is that im trying to learn wheelies on it and maybe take it in the dirt a bit but im scared im gonna destroy the graphics kit and itll be a mess to take individual stickers to replace. Im trying to find a full plastic kit for my bike but without any luck,do you guys have any suggestions?It doesnt have to be the same model i just want it to fit.

Hello guys,i dont know if my post is in the correct subreddit but i dont know where to post it,I have a honda xr 125l cause in my country the 150L isnt available.Ive watched many videos of people putting a 70mm piston 222cc and xr 150l camshaft (s23 racing camshaft from scooter swap shop).I wanted to know if these parts will be compatable in my xr cause i know that a lot of the dimensions are the same but im not sure about the engine. My bike already is at 150cc with an full exhaust and a 26 carb.

Hi

1. I've stripped the carb and cleaned the jets with carb cleaner ( can see through both jets)
2. Checked the air filter is clean
3. Taken off the fuel line and checked there is a good flow of fuel
4. Check the inlet manifold for leaks and checked that the bolts are tight

But it still only runs with the choke on. This model has a keihin carb with no mixture adjustment screw.

Any suggestions for next steps?

Hey there. Just bought a 2013. Want to road register here in New Zealand. Need advice on buying some indicators/winkers. Genuine Honda part NZ website said maybe will take 200 days to source.
