Re: stutter, close to cut off whilst riding

Sounds like the OP is lacking the necessary knowledge needed to diagnose the problem. I suggest he takes it to the repair shop and let them run the tests (compression, timing, performance of the fuel and ignition systems, sensors, exhaust performance, etc). There can be too many things causing these...

Re: Is this too much engine oil?

Sounds like someone has trouble reading the oil level. The dipstick may be getting some oil on in from contact with the walls. Only the hashed section is what needs to be read. Hard to explain to an inexperienced person. They got to be able to tell the difference on the dipstick between smears and t...

Update on my 2018 PCX

Well, clocked 14,000 trouble free miles. Still on stock front original IRC and on second rear (Michelin). Just changed the spark plug. Been riding it on longer trips for the most parts (e.g. 3 days, Los Angeles to Nevada). No oil consumption unless all day long at WOT, then would need to add a bit i...

Re: Road Trip

Hello. PCX is a scooter, not a moped. No pedals or hints their of.

Agree with comments above, if you are on calm and slow roads and you have time, that's a perfect scooter for the job.

Re: Front forks seem to be pogo-ing

What's the problem? The operation of shocks is checked by examining the components and refilling with specified amount of oil. The shock should create noticeable resistance when extended by hand. What you are observing may very well be normal.

Re: Ditch the Expense of Car/Truck/SUV Ownership and . . ..

The wealthy ones want people to give away their cars, their homes, their identity, so the wealthy ones have even more wealth at the expense of the masses.

I am happy with my stock one. But I haven't tried taller ones. I don't feel like the wind is an issue.

Definitely all the fluids. THe coolant is used up at this age and so is the brake fluid, just from the time and contact with the parts and the atmosphere.

Re: PCX 125 Died Mid Ride

If the engine stopps turning with the start button pressed, it would mean there is a strong mechanical resistance inside, likely a seized piston or broken rings, or something with the rod/valve. In either case, not good. Plug the spark plug hole with some newspaper and see if it shoots out, if you d...
