Thanks for that, did mine after watching this brilliant video. All I have to do now is find out what my tyre pressures should be.

I'd just use something like 30psi for the front, and 32psi for the rear. The tyres will take much higher pressures and that will be written on the sidewalls somewhere. I tend to put higher pressures into my tyres for supposedly lower rolling resistance but it's really a compromise over comfort and grip.

This video has helped me so much, was so nervous about topping up the oil and over filling because of thinking the sideglass gauge was a bit dodgy, but should work fine!

Good video. You should also change the oil filter mesh on the other side when doing this though. You don't need a new part, just wash it off.

Yeah it's a decent enough little bike. I've got some other videos with my thoughts at varying initial mileages too. Complaints would be: 1. Saddle gives numb bumb after maybe 30 mins but riding position is comfortable. 2. Engine is unrefined but bimbles along well enough. 3. Tyres are awful in the wet - not really a problem for me, as I only intend to use it on dry roads. 4. Seems to have a tendency to blow front headlamp bulbs - it's gone through two in 500 miles. Replaced with LED. Other than that, I've been quite happy with it overall. It's been reliable, looks quite well put together too.

Hello, I'm about to purchase the zsb was thinking of the lexmoto assault but prefer this style of bike to look at ! What have you made of it and how reliable has it been, last question is mine will be used on the odd dry weekend, how accessible is the battery and how often have you used yours? Thanks and all the best

Hi Christopher, the ZSB was totally reliable as far as the bike running was concerned. The only issues I had were front headlamp bulbs and the rear LED light unit. Battery was easily accessible as far as I recall now and never had any trouble with it losing charge even in a cold damp shed over the winter. I only used mine for trips on the back roads so it was used mainly between April and October. I think the Assault and the ZSB share the same engine so it's really down to which style you prefer at the end of the day.

As long as you use the same "grade" it should be fine. I'd use something like 10w40 semi synthetic for something like this. Some folks say you must use 4T or motorcycle specific oil or the clutch will start to slip.

Hi mate. Would u know how to clean a carburetor without removing it on zsb125. My bike won't run and I think that's the issue but idk how to do it 😭😭
@gtd65
2 жыл бұрын
The only thing I can think of doing, if you don't want to remove the carb is to turn off the fuel at the tank then drain the float bowl and see if any gunk comes out. It would be a pretty frustrating experience trying to do much more without removal. It might be possible to remove the float bowl while in situ but that would an awful lot more effort than removing the carb first. Is your carb in standard condition with air box etc.,?

I've just done this for my first service. Is 10w 40 oil ok? The engine seems to run hotter. Immediately after I took it for a test ride and it died when i reached 4th gear. I stopped and restarted and it was fine for a a while and done it again. Its seems okay now, if not still a little hot. Is this ok?

Can I point out that you most definitely shouldn't be using car oil for a motorcycle, these two are very different, the main thing is that for motorcycles it should conform to the JASO m2 to be OK with wet clutch.

That's a very old and long standing discussion for sure and a very polarising topic. I'm led to believe that if there are no friction modifiers in the oil, it's likely to be ok but of course, folks can buy 4T oil with a motorcycle logo on the bottle if they feel unsure.

You need to be doing a lot more on the first service buddy than this I am afraid. Should really be going around all nuts and bolts, inspecting valve clearances, inspect plug, inspect air filter, greasing battery terminals, greasing pivot points, red rubber grease rubbers (for good measure), checking the electrical system, adjusting mixture for correct stoichiometric ratio etc... This is why the services on these from dealers are always being slated because its a common misconception that the services are just about doing the oil change.

I think it depends on the friction modifiers. I've used it in a number of bikes and not had any issues. There's a few links in an earlier comment about this very subject.
