Specific rear shock recommendation

My 2013 PCX 150 feels like it is sitting too low in the rear. What specific shocks or length of shock should I be looking for for replacing the stock ones that are on it.? Does any know a measurement I can take to see if it is actually sitting low? I seem to scrape the underside quite a bit on bumps...

Left rear side panel

After we moved with my 2013 PCX 150 on the moving truck, I've noticed that the rear point of left rear side panel is not attached properly. I also cannot see how it's supposed to attach. Is there a clip of some kind? Could there be a broken clip? Does anyone have pics of what it looks like inside to...

Differing Side Stand lengths?

When I bought my 2013 PCX 150 in 2016 the side stand had been shortened and the loop piece cutand bent out at an angle that loved to catch shoe laces. So last summer I finally replaced it with a used one from Ebay. Now the scoot sits almost straight up when using the side stand, so much so that I'm ...

Add on driving lights

Does anyone in the USA or Canada use add on driving lights, the kind that mount out to each side of the headlight or just lower?
What kind of mounting braket do you use? Which brand of lights?
I want to add more light front and rear for twilight/night riding.

LIGHTS

WHo has changed from the standard 2 bulb headlight (2013) to a 6 light model? Is it worth the price?
Who has added light on the rear? What did you add?
Who has changed to constant and blinking turn signals/ tail light?

Re: PCX150 Taller Windscreen

I have a NC Touring Tall on my 2013. I had to bring the mirrors back just a bit to be able to lock the steering. I really like the windshield. When I'm riding mace is just above it.

Rain/dust covers?

I'm having trouble finding a cover that I know will fit my 2013 PCX 150 with a tall windshield and 30 l. trunk box. Even revzilla.com customer service recommended one that said the sizes listed were for standard scooters without windshields or trunks. I live in Phoenix, so there's little rain but TO...

Re: PCX 150 top speed?

Honkerman and Mel46, thanks for the explanations on how the variator and rollers work and why I am feeling that top end hesitation. I like my PCX, perfect for running back and forth to work and errands, but I'm saving my pennies for a >300cc scoot.

Installing a louder horn.

I want to install a self contained air horn or other extra loud horn. Where can I put it if it doesn't fit where the stock horn is?

I have a National Cycle Touring tall windshield. I don't know about the belt, so I have to assume that it's the original with almost 9000 miles on it, and everything else original. Just changed the oil, with no difference in performance. Just added a 30 liter tail box with no difference in performan...

PCX 150 top speed?

My 2013 PCX 150 will maintain a top speed of ~60 mph. At about 63-64 it starts to "chug" or hesitate. Is 60 about right, or do I need some service to increase that?

I know there's an active club that rides mostly on the east side of Phoenix. Does anyone have info about rides on the west side of the valley?

Taller, wider mirrors?

I'm really considering mirrors that are taller, stick out to the side more, and have a bigger surface to give much better rear view. Any suggestions? I currently have stock mirrors on my 2013 PCX 150.

Re: Installing lights above headlight?

Mine is also a 2013, so the headlight assembly is different from the one in dem0nk1d's post. I'm kind of scared to tear into it without instructions.

Installing lights above headlight?

I think this has been covered before but I can't seem to find the thread.
How difficult would it be to install running lights and/or amber turn signals in the spaces above and toward the outsides of the headlight?
Is it worthwhile?

Re: MPG

It's a new to me 2013 PCX 150 with about 7800 miles in it. What service suggestions can I do myself that might improve mpg? Taking it to a Honda dealer for service would entail finding someone with a trailer to haul it 35 miles on a 75 mph rural Texas road.

MPG

So I just went through my first tank of gas and averaged just at 70 MPG. I live in a very small town and mostly it's just me. I weigh 225 lbs. Sometimes I take my daughter, at 115 lbs, and we go out a random road, cruising about 55 mph. Sometime the wife and I make short trips, which is over the max...

OUCH! My butt hurts! (i.e. stiff rear suspension)

Since I'm new to the PCX, what's the best fix for a sore butt? When I hit pot holes or even rough road surfaces it feels like I have no rear shocks. When pushing down by hand there are a couple of inches of travel/rebound. Please use layman terms or explain. I don't fully understand suspension/shock...
