Armour fabric jacket and trousers in fluorescent yellow and motorcycle boots. I commute on a very busy A road dual carriageway for 15 miles. I had had my offs when young in jeans....they stood up well but still had to endure having grit scrubbed out of my knee in A&E. Plus having my keys pull ou...

Re: Documentation

There is no need to carry insurance details anymore the police usually check by anpr software fitted to most police cars in the UK. Plus they used to give you 5 days to produce documents. But a good idea to use the zip lock bag for recovery and owners manual.

Re: Pcx Yuminashi Chainsaw 164!

Pcxdemon you mentioned your temperature gauge mounts at the stock head. If you have got a photo could you indicate where on the head. I am about to fit my temperature gauge. Thanks in advance.

Re: Hopefully a new member......

I use the start stop and I like it I have had no problems in heavy traffic.....it has always started instantly and is quickly activated from cold. I would honestly recommend the pcx 125 as an ideal commuter bike. And by the way welcome to the forum.

checking level on cb hydraulic reservoir.

I was looking over my pcx 125 doing a walk through of the owners manual service checks. I was looking through the aperture at the cb brake reservoir and it looked empty. No biggy just did not want to take it to the dealers. There was no signs of a leak....so I investigated further. To get to the poi...
