Re: 2019 PCX as my VFR800F's "little brother"

@WhiteNoise, I see you have a Ridgeline as well. Are you a member of the Ridgeline Owner's Club? I'm a mod there.

I was hoping the Passport would have the 10AT. I'm not fond of the ZF 9HP transmission, but Honda said the 10AT wouldn't fit in the Passport (and presumably Pilot and Ridgeline).

Re: Wheels out of balance?

A couple of weeks ago, I bought a new 2019 PCX150 and noticed a vibration that seemed to be coming from the front end, but didn't worry too much about it. A couple of days later, I bought a barely-used (437 miles) 2018 PCX150 and was surprised that it rode much smoother than the 2019. The first thin...

Re: 2019 PCX as my VFR800F's "little brother"

No spouse, but one of the reasons I resumed my quest to buy the 2018 was because my brother came to visit the day I bought the 2019 and hinted that now that I had two motos he and I could ride together. Well... I can be a bit selfish and protective of the things I worked hard for to buy, so I wasn't...

Re: 2019 PCX as my VFR800F's "little brother"

Well, here's an interesting twist... :) The second Craigslist seller finally got in touch with me. Turns out he was in charge of the ad for his father who the scooter belonged to. He claims he had lots of responses and was getting confused about who he was replying to (since the CL remailer anonymiz...

Re: "Owner's Manual" PCX150 2018-UP

Thanks for the link- that manual doesn't match the US model (it contains references to many features the US model doesn't have and the service intervals are different), but it does provide some useful information.

Re: "Owner's Manual" PCX150 2018-UP

I realize I can buy a printed copy from Helm, but I don't need one of those since one came with my PCX. I want to be able to download a free PDF version like I can from other motorcycle manufacturers or even for a Honda automobile . I don't mind paying $50 for a printed service manual (which I did) ...

Re: "Owner's Manual" PCX150 2018-UP

I've always found it odd and frustrating that owner's manuals for Honda motorcycles are only available in printed form. I can download the owner's manual for any Yamaha or Kawasaki or Honda automobile for free. I understand charging for a service manual, but an owner's manual should be free. I'd lov...

Re: 2019 PCX as my VFR800F's "little brother"

What did you not like about the RDX? I think Acura cars are wonderful espeically the interiors so well designed looking. Luxury and sporty. The two biggest complaints I had with the RDX were a severe vibration that could be felt and heard while stopped in reverse when the engine was cold and harsh ...

My 2019 was manufactured in Vietnam.

Re: 2019 PCX as my VFR800F's "little brother"

You'll probably find you use the PCX as your "go to" machine and save the VFR for the special rides. I think you hit the nail on the head with that statement! Regarding fuel economy, my '86 CH150D got 75 MPG and that was with a carburetor over 30 years ago. My brother's Grom averaged over...

Re: 2019 PCX as my VFR800F's "little brother"

Agreed. I was communicating with the first seller by text. Communication through email was fine with the second seller until I told him I was interested. Weird.

Anywho, here's the Honda family: 2014 VFR800F, 2019 PCX 150, and 2019 Ridgeline RTL-E. :)

2019 PCX as my VFR800F's "little brother"

My relationship with Honda started when I was a kid with what I recall was a Z50R that endured far more punishment than it was entitled to. I graduated to an XL80S followed by an Elite CH150D scooter. I didn't own a motorcycle again until 2005 when I bought a new Ninja 250 that was stolen a year lat...
