Re: Post your Mods & Rev Limited Top Speed Here!!!

Quick newbie questions What is the stock PCX150 roller weight? Higher weights do what? Is the best overall 12gms? I weight about 200 lbs and by using three methods [1) speedo, 2) GPS and 3) car matched cruising] I have determined my top speed to be 67 mph with no modifications on relatively flat ter...

Re: Well I saw the new Burgman 200 today

I looked at the Burgman 200 as well. It is very large for the power rating- my two cents. The PCX is lean in comparison. I have to admit though that the thought of riding other scoots is appealing to me as well. Not because the PCX is bad but my interest in scooters has grown. I have been looking at...

Re: valve adjustment

Why not just ditch all the extraneous junk and go camping on the Forza? I've been all round Europe on bikes with full camping gear loaded in a tankbag, a pair of throwovers and a rear rack. In times when cash was low I've done it carrying everything I needed for two weeks camping on my back. Ha, lo...

Re: valve adjustment

So take the tailgate off. Nice idea but the problem is that for my camping supplies which accompany the "scoot" that poses a problem. The seller told me to leave it down and add a net or extension but that would not work with the travel trailer. The PCX fits perfect but oh, that Forza was...

Re: valve adjustment

Greetings, I am fairly new here but I have a few thoughts to share and lots of questions. First, Not long ago I did a valve adjustment on my now 1 year old PCX with 3900 miles on it. One valve was tight. The process of taking the thing apart had me crazy. I actually have two bolts in the storage box...

Re: Comfortable Crusing Speed?

Great topic. On the comparison info, what about PCX to Forza? If a PCX cruises at 45 with 150cc would it be 65mph with a 279cc? I am curious as a PCX owner I spend quite a bit of time at the 50 mph range.

Re: across the US and back on the PCX125... my experiences

Hi Pozo, that is one amazing endurance trip. I am across the other side of the world in NZ, just got my PCX for commuting and have wondered what it would be like for touring. I have another ride (Ducati 696) that I have used for trips around most of the country and my riding buddies have given me a...

Re: Terrible experience at the MVA today

Nutso. In FL it is cut and dry- based on engine cc. Anything over 50cc is legally termed a motorcycle and is treated as such. Even so, other things here are not clear and clumsy at times like your experience.

Re: Forza or the new 2015 pcx 150.I hate shopping for new th

I enjoyed my class. Great to hear about future posts. I have owned a PCX for a year and really like it. Though from time to time I want to try other bikes, like the Forza. I think it is not justified to own more than one since only one can be ridden. The PCX meets my need for suburban and town drivi...

I spoke with Airhawk who recommended the DS for the PCX. Ordered it.

Re: Is this a good price for a new 2013 pcx?

The dealer in my area is selling them for the MSRP. I bought mine just over a year ago- July 2013, not too long after he got them. My deal was an exchange from a purchase a week earlier (bought a barely used 2013 Vino- too slow) and he offered to take it off my hands in full value if I trade/exchang...

I want to hear the rest of the story monger hater. Now that you have the PCX, does it meet your need or do you think the Forza would've offered you something you are missing need-wise.

Re: Humpless Seat from Powered byPCX

Mel46, I am looking at the seat you bought from powered by PCX- Kan Type 1,2 for 59 euros. Did you also buy the under portion seal? Almost purchased it last night. My question to you and everyone else, Do you think that seat provides enough cushion or would I also need an AirHawk and if so, which on...

Re: Humpless Seat from Powered byPCX

I need advice on this humpless seat. I rode all day a week ago and now have a very sore arse and cannot sit easily. It is bad. I have to find a seat that works or sell the PCX. Please advise. I will read on.

Re: Seat change

Greetings,

I have to replace my seat. It is painful to ride for the 20 minute commute. I am looking for something similar in design to the original seat but without the hump. Any suggestions? Thank you.
