Hurray for the EU on that, warranty is automatically transferable between EU countries.

I saw that in UK PCX owners in Facebook, here in Portugal it seems (so far) nobody got that message.

Re: Givi D1130ST issues

I have this windshield, no issues whatsover, when installing it just make sure its for the specific pcx model.
I love it.
Its true that it bends at high speed (lol) or strong winds but I never came close to feeling it might break suddenly.
Best addon to my pcx

Re: Favorite windshield?

Cant get the National Cycle here in PT, shipping costs make it way too expensive, plus apparently the spanish importer has the exclusive for Iberian Peninsula but will not ship to Portugal, wich is stupid beyond belief cause Iberia is not Spain, also not selling to outside to other EU country is ill...

Re: Gain more speed

If not mistaken in Europe you can only find the 150cc version in Italy and Russia, due to highway minimum restrictions.

Re: Anyone has or tried dr.Pulley variator?

I bought the Yuminashi variator, it came with 8g rollers, they are probably too light, but overall I am quite happy with it. The vario +Malossi belt +Givi tall windshield, I can now get to 120 kmh / 74.5Mph (GPS) although the speedometer shows 130kmh/80mph, this on a flat road. I am waiting for a va...

Re: Installed Yumiinashi variator

The kit came with 8g rollers and those are now installed, but I've decide I'll go with heaviers as I dont need faster accelaration but higher end speed, though I am going heavier to try and get better millage. Hopefully withing the next 15 days my variator holding tool will arrive and I will try a m...

Installed Yumiinashi variator

Hello, just picked up from the repair shop my pcx 150 led for maintenance, I had oil changed and changed variator to a Yuminashi variator, kept the same malossi belt as it has less than 2500miles. The pcx makes more noise, its also a weirder noise, like its vibrating noise, and logically I can also ...

Re: Upgrade front brakes - best replacements

There seems to be a consensus that changing the pads to EBC sintered plus changing the lines to braided, plus upgrade to DOT4 fluid should help considerably. I am not good at changing brakes any more...old age has gotten to my knees...so I will check local shops to see if they can handle it on my w...

Re: Upgrade front brakes - best replacements

I've installed EBC sintered brake pads, and they drastically improved my braking distance. It costed double the normal oem but still quite cheap. Very happy with them. It costed under €20.

Re: i committed a sin

Before the Pcx I had a french Peugeot Squab for 10years with zero maintenance into it and the damn thing would not die, all I had to do was put gas and oil and it would run 24/7, wish someone had explained me the basics of maintenance, the little scooter deserved a much better owner than I, hope its...

Re: Why a WHITE helmet

I bought a yellow LS2 modular helmet, I use it with a yellow vest, cars often slow down when nearing me as they think I am a law enforcement agent or a emergency health provider (yes we have these on motorcycles here in Pt). I can say my scary moments have been drastically reduced.

Re: Just swapped original belt for a malossi x-kevlar

Very veteran Kymco riders in the Philippines have warned that these Kevlar belts can do a lot of expensive damage within the CVT should they break at speed. They recommend only OEM belts. Even your trusted scooter mechanic did not recommended using that Keblar belt. Fish Actually he said it was not...

Re: Just swapped original belt for a malossi x-kevlar

It's beem mentioned here before now, that a non Honda original Kevlar belt is not a good idea - many do not seem to last as long as original Honda / Bando parts. True, I did read those comments, but I still wanted to try it, it was one of those things "what if". The removed belt was, in t...

Just swapped original belt for a malossi x-kevlar

Hello, Since money is lacking over here and doing the first major revision (24000km /14900miles), and since my bike (150cc)was toping only at 106kmh/65mph (speedometer, not gps) and already feeling the engine cutting, I decided and go for the malossi belt. Now I managed to get to 111kmh (69mph), aga...

Dr.pulley sliders will be used. Goal is to get a slighter higher top end speed for the occasional highways, n...
