Re: Upgraded spark plug for PCX?

BTW - I saw on one OEM honda parts website the OEM o2 sensor is only $25. that also should be cleaned and/or changed. On my truck I removed my old ones at 110K and sprayed them out really good with electronic parts cleaner a few times and reinstalled. They were as good as new and really helped the t...

Re: Upgraded spark plug for PCX?

I think the biggest issue, if you drive near beaches or salt/corrosion areas, is to switch out the plug every year or two, so it doesn't gall or seize in the head. Believe it or not -- if you over-torque or leave it in there too long the threads will sieze on the plug, leaving metal shavings inside ...

Re: Strange finding, after I filled up the tank.

also -- run some fuel injector cleaner before changing filter so the crap is sent back to the tank. Honestly, I wouldn't mess around with crappy gas on a FI 150 with tiny orfice holes. change out that filter and clear the tank to see if it returns to normal all the time. At least run the FI cleaner ...

Re: Strange finding, after I filled up the tank.

one theory: there is a strainer on the end of the fuel line pickup, the refueling washes away the junk caught in the filter and it takes spraying in new fuel to "wash" that screen off :o . The part # is 16707-K35-V01 (about $8) and it fits on the end of the fuel pump. You ALSO need to suck...

Re: Apple will block texting....

will be a boost to android and samsung. My guess is that they will put a workaround like waze that results in more attention bypassing it, that can cause an accident. o_O Personally, I think cellphone dialing driving a car is bigger risk than texting. speach to text has improved. Im glad it is a com...

Re: What do you think about this price for new PCX150?

thats about what I paid - but I had a NASCAR legend who owned the dealership at the time sign the underside seat pan, and then I clear-coated it. 6 mos later he sold the dealership. It's worth the extra bucks to get a new one with no sketchy history of home-mainenance using pensoil car car on oil ch...
