2019 Lexmoto Diablo 0.1L Petrol · WJ69 RHX

A history of steering geometry instability and recurring electrical faults defines the roadworthiness record of this motorcycle. A major failure in September 2023 regarding incorrect front wheel alignment and forks being out of line required rectification before the vehicle achieved a pass on 20 October 2023. This trend of intermittent faults is further evidenced by persistent issues with the indicator switches and flashing rates recorded across multiple tests. The recorded mileage of 16,289 miles represents a low annual accumulation rate of approximately 2,327 miles over seven years. Such a usage profile indicates the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary or has been used for short-distance trips. Mechanically, this pattern often results in different wear characteristics than high-mileage vehicles, shifting the focus from drivetrain fatigue to the degradation of rubber components and the potential for stagnation in fluid systems. A test drive must prioritise the stability of the front end to ensure the previously recorded fork misalignment has been fully corrected. Listen for any unusual knocks or vibrations through the handlebars and check for any steering pull or instability during straight-line travel. The throttle assembly requires close inspection to verify it snaps shut instantly when released, as a previous advisory flagged a failure in this mechanism. The exhaust system should be assessed for excessive noise or leaks, referencing the previous advisory regarding its condition. Additionally, the operation of the indicator switch should be physically tested to ensure it clicks securely into position and cancels correctly, addressing the recurring minor faults noted in the 2023 records. Finally, the rear tyre should be inspected for tread depth and perishability given the previous record of it being worn close to the legal limit.
