So what do you do when it rains. Rains are rare there? Here rains are frequent and more than often very heavy, so need a waterproof dashcam.

PCX's are fast enough. 100kph (62mph) no problem. Some will go faster. But I usually go below 80kph (50mph). Actually I enjoy cruising at just 60kph (37mph). I installed my medium Givi shield long time ago, but if I remember well, the wind pushing at my chest at this cruising speed was already not p...

carrying those tires on the scooter..............wonder no more! : ) Thanks for the come back.

I just hula hoop into them, without making them spin. Done it many times already. Felt very secure. Might or might not be safer in a crash.

Also, to the guy asking about price for MCG2: I bought them from a seller on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B089DPDD2S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B089DPSVT7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 120 70/14 (front) ...

How much are the city grips?

I only just lean my bike gently to turn. Meaning to say I just shift my weight left and right instead of interacting with the handlebar. I think I go slower than average rider.

Using current Google rate, here it costs US$8.99 per wheel. 75% off if I just bring in the wheels and new tyres instead of the whole scooter. But will need to borrow a car, or another bike that can carry the wheel. Last time I tried to do everything myself I only got to breaking the bead of the tyre...

Probably it is a keyless PCX, and using the kick stand to kill the engine.

Can any person start the bike when you leave it in that state? My guess is no.

What particular brand do you have on yours? How much did it cost you? I got a Chinese unbranded reseller product: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000528793184.html I paid US$28.89 for it. Been using it since early February, so only just over 2 months but so far I am very satisfied. I ride almost e...

Get a TPMS. It is not as cheap as a simple gauge, but it can tell temperatures too, so you know what PSI to expect at what temperature as you ride. I try to only look at it before going out and on my way home at the end of the day. It is a convenience. It has allowed me to detect a nail in my tyre e...

I got my voltmeter for under 5 American dollars. Now is 2021 I think it should be part of the dashboard as standard but unfortunately not.

The easiest way to search is online. I got almost all of mine online at very good prices. What I found offline were rather old stocks and yet more expensive. I bought a few of them just to help them clear out and save the environment from wastage.

We don't get JASO MB oils in our small, import-dependent country. Scooters here do fine, especially my PCX. Well actually, I changed to car oil 16803 km ago, but before that I used JASO MA on 4 changes, JASO MB on 2 changes. JASO MB oils sourced when it was easier to cross the border to neighbouring...

I tot maybe it is a good time to replace the rear tyre as well, since in order to take off the rear wheel, you need to take off the exhaust first.

How is the condition of the rear tyre tho?

The user manual does not say anything about sticking with the same oil.

How many kilometres have you done on the previous owners' oil? How do you know what oils he used? You go to the same place he changed oils and they have the records?

Thanks iceman, you prompted me to check the tyre properly to see where the leak is. So I sprayed soap on the the stem and the plug, but there were no signs of air leaking out. Got me confused, but then I spin the wheel a bit and found bubbling somewhere else! What the? Another nail!? Small this time...

I'm doing all right on my string plug at 4346km now. I have added TPMS to my PCX since just 11 days ago, and today started like normal (34PSI rear.) But about halfway thru' the day, while riding, I noticed the reading on my rear tyre was just 35PSI even tho tyre temperature already up. It dropped d...
