Making a daul sports out of LX450 AsiaWing
Hello;
I recently Joined this forum to learn more about asia wing compnay as itself and how Good/Bad experience people have with its product.
I got a 450cc Dirt Bike called LX450 for aerage to large Offroad Trips in Himalayan Mountainss,
I already have a Zongshen RX3 which is more of a Highway Hi-speed Cruiser (120KMH~130KMH) is "too" fast for the highways we have around here so yeas RX3 is a champ on these speeds.
But RX3 had a pretty tough time on offroads where I took it, it did well, far better then small scooties, mopeds and smaller bikes, but yes it was behind and struggling where dirt/ daul sports machines were fine.
So I knew I needed a second machine, and I wanted to test Chinese machine again as Rx3 did well, very well actually.

I took it to the offroads, and it did very well, so I ordered parts from AsiaWing factory and today I got package full of goodies...

Re: Making a daul sports out of LX450 AsiaWing
I am not sure if this machine is good for using as a dual purpose Off-road adventure machine or not, I do think this machine is made specifically for competition purpose as by little research people told me its a replica of some 2006~ ??? version of Honda CRF450 and Chinese put lights and indicators to it to make it road worthy as well - I am not sure if it is exact replica or there are some difference, and or if it does require strict maintenance schedules or not, according to what every I have found online is that it would need an oil change after at-least 1500KM and valve/shim clearance at around 5~6k of kilometer in general, would definitely need cleaning of filter/chain lubrication after heavy offroading...
So far these are fine with any other daul sports machines as well.... so its fine with this too... I would post any good or bad points I would face while using a Competition type machine as a dual sports..

Re: Making a daul sports out of LX450 AsiaWing
Agreeed; I switched to
1 - 14 X 46 from 13 X 48
2 - I changes oils at 1000km cycle ( is it OK for this bike ?) becuase it is impossible to count hours while 2000 miles away some times bikes are idling more while you are figuring out maps and trail tracks.. you know...
3 - added Daul sports tires for On and Offroad (as getting out of the city to nearest offroads include atleast a 200mile run :O )
4 - Removed the RIM lock they were producing vibrations on highway
5 - Added rear carrier for trunk or lagauge and extra Lamps
6 - Added larger Disc brake in front stock disc was hopeless
7 - If you notice trimeed the seat (i m a small lad :D ) still touch toes only
8 - lowered the fornt suspension
9 - Bought soft bags to use as saddle bags still need to buy or cutom make a frame on rear
10 - looking if this bike can have an option for rear passenger seat and foot pegs >>> ??? any guidance wud be great
11 - added Aluminum belly gaurd for the engine
12 - add bark busters
13- 10liter jerry Can
I will be replacing parts as they worn out with japanese for sure just want to make sure if 2007~ CRF 450 (is it ture ????) parts are interchangeable if YES than that would be a great advantage and bike would become even more releable...

My special advise is change chain and wheel bearings to real good ones (D.I.D., NSK, FAG)
For dual sport and longer trips I would change the sprocket ratio to get more speed at lower RPM and check what option like other gas tank or range extender tank I could find. Finally I'd add a luggage rack for keeping soft bags at good position.

Re: Making a daul sports out of LX450 AsiaWing
Does the LX450 has a radiator fan now? I remember in the past it was overheating in summer in condition like city stop and go.

Re: Making a daul sports out of LX450 AsiaWing
Are you using LX450 as well ??
The Enduro model do not have fan, but SM model has it, also in Enduro model if you select fan option they fit it before sending it to you.
here is mine..

Re: Making a daul sports out of LX450 AsiaWing
Is your bike still a carburetor version? Or have they changed finally to EFI?
Re: Making a daul sports out of LX450 AsiaWing
When I was about to import this bike I had option to go for an EFI the price difference was only 150$ but I went for Carby, becuase I know carbs and I can handle them in any situations no matter if I am 300~500kms inside a thick forest....
Last year RX3(EFI) got its feul pump bad for resong unknown some say it was becuase of bad feul... but it costed me whole summer as bike stayed parked and waited for new pump.. so I am better off with carbs...

it looks like LX450 and NC250 share the 2008 CRF450X chasis, and while the NC250 uses Zongshens ZS177MM engine (the same one you have in RX3), the LX's engine is the (almost) exact copy of 2008 CRF450X...
Someone will correct me, if I'm mistaking...
Re: Making a daul sports out of LX450 AsiaWing
I think you are correct, I wonder how did Honda let them replicate there 10year old model of CRF.... or may they had some kind of production agreement ? not sure just guessing...

best part about having an asia wing is that Honda CRF parts fit in without complaining ..

Re: Making a daul sports out of LX450 AsiaWing
This month my old pocket rocket "cg250" went bad and rejected to fire up .... so have been using the 450 for regular commute.....
Today had some time in the morning when my super half decided to drop kids to school so I was free gave her a good wash...
beside a super offroader it is a Very excellent city runner i must u literally are riding a controlled bullet :dirtbike: , feul milage is 18~20km/Liter I am noticing.... seat is a brick... and the filter box is hope less it unscrews every next day and finally slipped.. :gaah:

Re: Making a daul sports out of LX450 AsiaWing
How agresive are you riding to have 18-20 km/l? - Although - you are mentioning a "bullet" :)
What could be the milage for normal comuting - if it is possible at all to drive it slowly
Re: Making a daul sports out of LX450 AsiaWing
If you are over imagining that one can even try to ride a bike at 80kmh in a one of the major city of south asia then you are not thinking right... one can hardly do a maximum of a 40~50km that if you find a road or a patch or road where you can.... given that the roads have horse carts, tuk tuk, rickshaws, a storm of 50~70cc motorcycles and buses, cars.. you name it...
What I do mean by bullet is that you are just can gain speed and brake in eye blinks on this machine I am loving it... you are dominating the road and traffic due to that.
and yes it is giving 18+ very happily it has a small feul tank so I can judge it very easily. Becuase in offroading days when we head to forests its avg is usually 15~km/L ubt nowadays I see 20km/L very easy. (carb : I rejected th pilot jet from 44number to 46)

Re: Making a daul sports out of LX450 AsiaWing
frankly speaking I was expecting on 10/12km/L in forest/trails and maximum of 15~16 in city/roads but after I got the carb settled I am getting good results..

..... But I did ride it quite "fast forward" style ��
