Re: Coolant warning...

Is that reading on a cold motor? Also, how many miles are you going to see the oil go from the high mark to the low mark?

Re: Anybody have a Honda Tall Winshield?

Wow Stu, I don't know what screen or bike that is, but it's not a PCX and that's not a 052 screen. The 052 is on my bike in the picture. It's a straight replacement. As to whether I like it, yes, I do. I'm 5'8" and it comes up around my mouth-height. On my last bike the screen came up about nos...

Re: Anybody have a Honda Tall Winshield?

I would call them N20052 I think you'll like it it looks they are almost next door Question: As for installing the N20052, on my 2013 PCX the stock handlebar clamp bolts are not directly accessible, are covered by what is perhaps a removable plug covering the bolts. Any idea how to get to the actua...

Mine makes a bunch of interesting sounds, too. As long as things stay attached, I'm fine with them.

Re: when pcx is ideling

never noticed, must be a 2013 model thing. Interesting. If you would, subjectively evaluate the idle quality once warmed up. Then, squeeze the rear brakes moderately and see if it idles noticeably smoother? I don't know anyone with a '15 to try. I'm wondering if Honda changed the durometer of the r...

Re: Opinion on engine additives

Exactly - the PCX engine is fine and does well without anything other than what Honda specifies being added or any changes to the bike - it's efficient, lasts a long time (unless you get one of the small % duds) and the bike does almost as good stock as people spending $1000's on it. Sorry what do ...

Yeah, I've noticed that, too. It's the load from pulling the rear brake cable applied to the motor-swing-arm assembly.

Re: turn signal housing

The light housing itself is a lens, gasket and rear shell with two screws holding it together. Are you maybe seeing the gasket sticking out between the halves? If so, undo the halves and re-install the gasket carefully. Sometimes the gasket might be severely deformed and need replacement. If none of...

Of course they'll force the move, eventually. I'll switch as necessary. Enterprise holds them back (thankfully).

Re: Yuminashi parts

The correct height of the screen to be useful is close to nose-high. You should be looking just over it. Mine comes up to about my chin/mouth (I'm 5'8"). That's about as low as I go to get the comfortable "screening" effect. The "swirl" travels over my helmet. Definitely hig...

Re: Leaking fuel 2013 150

I've studied the shop manual at length and I don't see how the thing can leak fuel on the ground barring spilling fuel in the rubber bib that surrounds the filler neck. I have read, but it's not clear to me how overfilling can leak out the evap. System. It does look as though one could get fuel into...
