Very clean xlr125 with xl400 light cluster.

These pictures of a nice honda xlr125 were sent to me by someone who has used an xl 400 rear light cluster and says it "slots straight on the rear section of the rear fender". Id say it looks pretty nice and if there is any body else who's got modifications on there Honda's  i.e parts from another xlr then please email the pictures and info to mrnjleelee@hotmail.co.uk.

Honda xlr's predeator exhaust....

Predator stainless steel road silencer assembly for Honda's XLR 125 R...???This xlr exhaust is made to fit the original equipment and is interchangeable with the original front pipe wich is good when it comes to keeping the cost down on this already expensive venture. It comes complete with all required fittings and it would interesting to hear what effects it has on the performance .
A spark eroda is built into silencer and it has manufacturers 10 Year warranty on stainless steel parts from this company. If anyone has one of these exhaust or alike, some further details on where's best to get one from and if there's any available for bigger cc Honda's you can email the info or send any pictures mrnjlee@hotmail.co.uk. much appreciated, nick.

REDEX and you could have a faster Honda!

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!

Honda xlr125 oil change...a how to !

An engine oil change for your motorcycle is one good way of not only looking after your motorbike but making you and the engine feel allot better. To change the oil on a Honda xlr125r simply position the bike on the side stand( where the motorbike should be leaning to the left) and look for a hexagonal nut at the very bottom of the engine on the side, close to the front. Once you have found that nut make sure you have:
NEW FOUR-STROKE OIL (of correct specification)
A CONTAINER TO CATCH THE OLD OIL IN
A SPANNER THAT FITS THE NUT PERFECTLY
AND A CLEANING CLOTH TO WIPE UP THE MESS AFTER
Then, place the container underneath where the nut is and start to undo. You shouldn't have to completely take off the bolt for the oil to drain but you might want to clean the little filter that will pop out if you do. Once the engine oil is fully drained from the Honda engine put the nut back on finger tight and start to fill the engine with the new oil, checking the level with the dipstick as you go. If you manage to overfill the engine just loosen off the nut and let a little bit out to satisfy. Last of all tighten nut fully and wipe clean, dispose of the old oil correctly and run bike on tick over for a few minutes. You then simply take your healthy Honda xlr for a very good ride!
