I heard that when motorbike engines are ran completely out of fuel they suck up any dirt that sits in the bottom of the fuel tank. This can clog up the petrol jets and carbs giving your Honda a very unhealthy feel when re-filled and ridden again. This happened to me a few months ago with my Honda XLR125 so I stripped down the carb and jet, gave it a good clean out and re-fitted to find it was back to normal(well kind of). A couple of weeks later when i visited my local garage I was talking about it with one of the mechanics and he told me the fuel system still might need cleaning and recommended I try REDEX. This is a red liquid(pictured right) that goes straight into the tank in a small dose which is indicated on the bottle, all you need to do is ride the motorcycle for it to start working. I put some into my Honda's petrol tank and went from the average feeling 50mph to over 65mph and the bike felt like it was pulling more as well. I realised that if I didn't run out of fuel that day I would probably still be riding at 50mph and recommend this stuff to any motorcycle or car enthusiast. Unless you have bought a new bike you never know how clean your fuel system is so its definitely worth giving it a try and you can order it from the Amazon link below!

i have an XR125L5 pretty similiar bike to yours, I max out on a straight and relatively level road at a bit over 55, I think I saw some redex lying around somewhere so I shall give it a try and let you know what happens, (if anything)

yes u should try it and the difference in speed will show you how dirty your fuel system is. my bike ran out of petrol an the carbs sucked up all the crap at the bottom of the tank an was running very rough, when i used the redex i was actually shocked! you should see maybe 10 mph more if your bike is in good condition. cheers, nick
Hi used redex in my xr125 L3 it pulling better though the gears will keep you updated on top speed etc..
