Lexmoto hunter 50 leaking oil
Discussion
Shelly P said:
Chain was on too tight and knacked everything up. Oil gets poured in and come straight back out. It pools where what looks like the bits broken off?? I'm new to all this . Where is the oil seal?
Oil seal is this black rubbery component between the casing and the output shaft:
If it's really pouring out it might not be that, but easy to see if you pop a bit more in.
Yep it looks like a very loose chain has jumped or snapped and holed the crankcase, mind you it looks fairly ropey further up? and almost looks like its been previously welded?
As it's a Lexmoto I'd probably say that you can weld repair that crankcase, it's not going to be made with anything fancy.
PS I'd get him to do it, teach him to look after his bike!

I knew I should not have replied, half a story and looking on my phone.
Oh well, I know how to diagnose and fix just about anything so I'll stick to looking after my own stuff.
I didn't spot the gaping hole and I was looking at the photo on a PC screen. Someone posted on PH and you tried to help. It's all good. Oh well, I know how to diagnose and fix just about anything so I'll stick to looking after my own stuff.

You'd have to find some chinesium alloy and a blind welder to do a proper job As it's a Lexmoto I'd probably say that you can weld repair that crankcase, it's not going to be made with anything fancy.

Yep, that's a hole there. Is your son able to ride a 125 yet? If he is, just get rid and buy a 125. Stay away from 2nd hand Lexmoto's, they're usually more trouble than they're worth. While build quality has come on leaps and bounds, it's only in the last 2-3 years and the people that buy them often abuse them. Plenty of quality 125's around with far longer longevity in them.

Stay away from any Chinese bikes - they have a lot of different brands (hanway, lexmoto, mutt, keeway, herald and more) mostly being churned out from the same factories with the same low quality parts which makes them dangerous because bits randomly break and worthless when it comes to reselling.
A 20 year old honda 125 thats been around the world a few times is a better deal than a new Chinese bike at the same price.

You might repair a hole with epoxy.
You might get another engine, or set of cases from a breaker.
You might get a non running bike or a crashed bike and make one out of two.
Not knowing the models, I don't know what interchangeability there is.
You might break the one you've got and get something different.
It's easy to say 'avoid Chinese brands' but good Japanese bikes are either expensive or the owner isn't selling.
Lots of younger people are doing OK with Chinese bikes.
