Re: 2019 PCX ignition

Just been out to the garage to check my key in my scooter . My key works both ways , with the hex lock up & down position. The key itself is notched on both sides so I guess it can be used both ways . Also checked my spare key is the same . Try your mail dealer , he might be able to get a new ke...

Re: Beeping

Apparently it’s the ABS self test . It’s been mentioned a few times in different posts . Got a 2019 model myself ,and thought it’s a bit strange that it buzzes every time I pull away Had a Forza a few year back with ABS but no buzz . Been told just to put up with it . Never had anyone come up with a...

Re: Rain Gear

Due to the British weather being rubbish . We’ve got sleet & snow at the moment , I use Motrax over trousers when it gets wet . Unlike a lot of over trousers they don’t leak in the crotch area . I found them great to keep under your seat in case of heavy rain . Not sure if they are available in ...

Re: No parking brakes for uK models

You could use a Griplock , find them on EBay for about £10 . You can lock it round your grips and your front or rear brake lever . Security and will stop it moving . You can get them in loads of colours as well .

Got the PCX out of mothballs for the first time this year . Had a bit of good weather , so went for it . Great to be back on the road again. Popped into my local main dealer ( not Honda ) for my First Service, but they were fully booked all week . Could maybe get in next week but the weather is gonn...

Re: new thai style

Just an observation.
The wheels look similar to the BMX bike my son had when he was 15 years old . Looks like they just threw a PCX body kit on top. Not my cup of tea , Sorry

Re: Ideas for riding in cool weather, and looking good?

Pattomike “” As a 56 year old scooter rider myself , I must agree with most of the posts , get yourself an armoured bike jacket at least . Beg , steal or borrow one .

Re: Clean bike time

My scooter is more or less moth balled for the winter . Trying a new anti corrosion spray on my current scooter XCP rust blocker . I have never used it before but sprayed it on all the metal parts and it puts a wax coating on , seems to have good reviews. Always like to keep the salt off any metal p...

I’d stay well away from any Motorways , prefer the slower B roads if I can . Like to plan any ride out so I can take my time . Sure someone said “ it’s not about the Destination, it’s the fun getting there” . Something like that .Still running my scooter in at the moment . Hope to get the first serv...

Re: NEW PURCHASE

Never really had a problem with the battery going flat over winter . Just went into the garage , started it up and give it a rev to turn the back wheel on the centre stand think that charges the battery , might be wrong but never had any problems. Do it every couple of weeks for a few minutes .
