I think a lot of the negative commenters are missing the positives..... Cheap small capacity bikes seem ideal to learn and improve both mechanical and restoration skills on. You may or may not make a bit of money on them but you will certainly enjoy working on them and then have two bikes that could really help people who need some cheap transport. A great benefit to the environment is the bikes not being scrapped and instead going on to be used again. All in all what's not to like??
@SamsAutoAssortiumАй бұрын

@@SamsAutoAssortium Don't listen to the naysayers who rightly have missed your point of saving the bikes and improving your restoration skills along the way to use on future projects. They'll never have the self-satisfaction of getting your time down to clean a carby from 3 hours to 30 minutes purely from practice over many projects. Unless you have a really desirable bike and get it cheap, we all know there's no money to be made in the resto process. It's all about getting a heap of junk up to road-worthy standard and standing back and smiling at your accomplishment when the project's complete.

There will be a lot of wiring connections in the shiny and glass thing at the front. If you download a wiring diagram and use wire links to bypass the thing that's missing, you could get them going if they are going to go with fresh fuel and jumper leads from your van. No expense....untill you decide that they are worth some expense! If the LexMoto is a runner you'll have doubled your money for an hours work... no money. Same with the 250 virago see if it's a runner before you commit any money. Good luck!

The Auction site didn't see you coming. They went out and sent for you! The Lexmoto is a cheap China bike. The 'YBR 125' engine is rock solid (My own AJS has one). The cycle parts should clean up OK. However. Although Lexmoto is a popular 'brand'. It lacks kudos (Unlike the China made AJS). Clean it up and flog it at a loss. The Yamaha is more saleable. However. It's not a desirable model. Getting it back into good order is going to cost more than the Lexmoto. You just might break even here.

So I have no issue with Lexmoto rebuilds ( kzbin.info9QiXbLx6QT4 is me 🤣), but the question is are you doing it for content or profit? You dont need the keys to start it ( I won't write how obviously here), but it could also be the reason whty it was abandoned...
@SamsAutoAssortiumАй бұрын
I'll check yours out! I haven't totally ruled out doing the lexmoto it's just I've recently done a 125 so wanted to focus more on the yamaha, it's not all about the profit I want to make content but the profit helps to keep the channel going 🤟

@TringmotionCoUk that's never an ideal position to be in, I'm currently in a dilemma with the ignition for the yamaha as a genuine one is £500 for a new one and the knock off ones are all american spec so they don't come with the correct wiring for the bike 😅

@@SamsAutoAssortium it would be worth going to an auto keys specialist at that price. I am a bit out of the loop, but some barrels will have key numbers stamped on, elsewise a specialist can dismantle the lock and make a key from the mechanism. I used to use motor keys in kensworth, but that's a long way from you!
@SamsAutoAssortiumАй бұрын
@TringmotionCoUk unfortunately the lock barrels were damaged so getting a key made was a no go and there were no lock codes on them either 👎 I've contacted a few breakers to see if I can get my hands on one so hopefully I can get a replacement 🤞

The Dragstar has a massive following and worth up to 4 grand depending on mileage, even the 125 Dragstars bring good money. Yes the lexmoto not worth it but that will pay for the offset on the dragster meaning when both bike's are done he's made good money.
