Re: Resetting the ECU

Techno maybe I didn't fully understand you. I wish we all had diagnostic software for our scoots. Just last week I experienced engine missing at a specific lower RPM in every gear on the Buell. All kinds of possibilities raced my mind. Fuel pump, spark plugs, ignition coil and the dreaded electrica...

Re: Resetting the ECU

If you unplug the battery it's doubtful it will reset the ECU. If you disconnect your ECU, throttle housing, or have a fault code come up you need to remove the fault code, reset the ECU and throttle position sensor (TPS). If you don't you can get bogus codes and/or lack of performance or not gettin...

Re: PCX Drive Belt - What do you think?

The workshop manual states that it has to be replaced at 15,000 miles, you are at 19000. Replace it, otherwise it will break on you when you need it the most. Gil My suspicion is that Honda are "very kind" to their dealers and recommend the replacement of some components long before they ...

Re: Bike cut while riding and now will not start!

As promised here's some pictures of fitting the new engine pack. I used the throttle body, radiator, variator, belt and clutch from the bike original engine as they were known to work and in better condition. Replacement engine after checking the valve clearances, they were spot on, its a very clean...

Re: Bike cut while riding and now will not start!

The seal was knackered mate, water ingress and road grime/grit. No fix other than replacement would fix it.

Re: Bike cut while riding and now will not start!

That fork seal fix only really works if you catch it in time, one in this bike was well shot, I never do just one always both, these are now all sorted as is the bike. It's running a treat, just got to change the cheaper oil I've used to clean out the old engine oil and refill with fully synth, he's...

Re: Bike cut while riding and now will not start!

It's all pretty much back together (pictures to follow) engine is clean inside and appears to have been looked after, well oil changes at least. The rear brake was seized and there was virtually no oil in the rear hub. Having now got to the stage of servicing the bike (he was on the way to me when i...

Re: Ah oh...

Hi Mel If the loss of coolant was just from the reservoir then just fill the new one to the upper line. Run the bike for a few miles to get it up to operating temperature so that the thermostat has opened a few times. Let the bike cool down over night and check the reservoir it should be between the...

Re: Bike cut while riding and now will not start!

They stopped selling it or importing it at least. Think even in the rest of the world it's just stock. From what I gather it to do with sales and having to upgrade the engine to meet Euro 8 or whatever just not worth the investment.

Re: Bike cut while riding and now will not start!

gn2 Yes it's what I consider the best looking and equipped scooter for the money. I've had mine apart, sorted the fuse box, and checked everything, mines a second hand 2012 bike, not had any issues the the brakes it was always dealer serviced (not that counts for anything) so I would have imagined i...

Re: Bike cut while riding and now will not start!

Err no, one of the things the X10/BV 330 motor is famous for is its wet multiplate clutch. The clutch is bathed in the final drive oil at the wheel end of the gubbins. Yes you're correct sorry my mistake was thinking of the wrong end :lol: :lol: :lol: As I said in my introduction post things scoote...

Re: Bike cut while riding and now will not start!

I dunno about the concept of oil evaporating. How can that happen? It's not water or a substance that can change from liquid to vapor. I thought the purpose of the PVC valve or similar crankcase vent was to allow the water vapor resulting from fuel-air combustion (that got past the rings) to steam ...

Re: Bike cut while riding and now will not start!

I've recently bought a Paiggio X10 350 for commuting into work, it's a four stoke engine and I'm told is a Honda unit. I think whoever told you that is mistaken. The 330cc wet clutch motor used in the X10 is exclusive to Piaggio. It doesn't have a wet clutch mate all X10's have the same drive as PCX.

Re: Bike cut while riding and now will not start!

I would add to my last a post regarding evaporation, this will be a very small amount in a healthy engine using quality oil so don't go worrying about it too much, just check regularly. This will obviously depend to a big extent on the mileage your bike is doing, the higher the daily mileage the mor...

Re: Bike cut while riding and now will not start!

These little engines work hard, for their size, very. I've recently bought a Paiggio X10 350 for commuting into work, it's a four stoke engine and I'm told is a Honda unit. The bike has a rev counter at 30mph the revs are 5k that's high for a single at 80mph they're 8k, it also has an oil pressure w...

Re: Bike cut while riding and now will not start!

Make sure you have no cracks in the casing from the center stand on that new one. That one major problem on the 2011 model was the downfall of many a fine scootering day. No one wants to go through the effort of replacing the engine only to find that the casing had a Crack because of the center sta...

Re: Bike cut while riding and now will not start!

. but I believe I may have not screwed the dip-stick in properly last check. To check the oil the dip stick should not be screwed back in just wiped and rested on the casing. I know, I meant after checking which may have been the reason oil was lost (heat, evaporation, not sure). This is the 1st ti...
