One simple cure for that is stick your leg out like motocrossers do.

Hadn't noticed that noise, Iceman. What's it like?

Hi homey, sounds like we're at about the same stage of relationship with our PCXs. Yes, we can go fast now! I love the thought of you riding after midnight, sounds like a great summer night experience. I too don't like my helmet. It's a modular one that I wear with the visor down. To me it substanti...

The odometer just turned 300 miles. Some observations: -I really like the scooter. Handles beautifully, adequate acceleration, very smooth and beautifully made. -My grown daughter says the red color looks like Iron Man. So now I need some yellow trim :D -I'm 6'2", 200 lbs, and the PCX 150 feels...

I'm in! Thanks very much.

Thanks again, Mel46, good advice. I'm not experienced mechanically so I'll probably go for the low-hanging fruit, not planning further electrical mods. John The brake light wires start on the right side rear of the bike and go to the rear where the tail lights themselves are. You can tap into the wi...

Mel46, thanks very much for your thoughtful response. This sounds over my head! My thought is just to tap into the wires running to the brake light. Do you think that would work? Again, thanks for your help. John The rear wire bundle is on the right side by the passenger handles. Run the knight ride...

Thanks, pcxman!

Hi, I'm installing Knight Riderz lcd brake lights on my PCX 150. According to the instructions, I must connect the following wires from the Knight Riderz module: Connect black wire to ground Connect blue wire to running light power source Connect red wire to brake light power source. The wires to th...

Mel46, any thoughts on how best to wire these? Thanks! I have the Knight Riderz sequential light attached to my license plate. If you get nothing else, get this light. It goes back and forth all the time while you ride, and then it flashes 5 or 6 times before going steady on when you hit the brakes....

homey, thanks for the tip. The screw is in place. I'll remove and reinstall the panel, making sure the screw is tight, and see how that works.

I had a similar problem on my Yamaha c3. May have to do with how I place my foot (clumsily!)

Hi, gn2, I agree that thinking about which way to turn the handlebars is not what we want. But as a new user, with most of my experience driving being in a car, I found it tremendously helpful to be taught to "push left go left, push right go right" (the applied essence of "counterste...

Welcome John... wave Thanks for your welcome, homey! Yes, the example you give below is what I mean by countersteering: a. push left, lean left go left It's intellectually confusing but works like a charm btw John may I ask how you like riding a scooter after riding motorcycles earlier in life. I l...

Hi, I'm new to the board and to the world of the PCX, and have benefited greatly from the board already. Thanks to all for sharing your insights and stories. As an introduction, I'm 64 years old, live in the rural mountains of Colorado, and got a 2013 PCX 150 about a week ago. Since I haven't ridden...

Thanks! I'll follow your advice and am ordering today. I have the Knight Riderz sequential stop lights on both of our bikes. They are easy to connect. The website to go to if you want to see everything they offer is CustomDynamics.com ....I attached mine to the license plate frame. You can buy it al...

Anyone using sequential lights? Knight Riderz is one example: http://www.amazon.com/Custom-Dynamics-K ... PAZT7HVHQR.

I'd appreciate your advice in general, including selection and installation.

Thanks,

John

Thanks for your warm welcome, Whitenoise! I'll think about that windscreen. Most of the time I don't expect to drive fast enough to need one... Welcome! and have fun with yer new toy. :P I'm in agreement with you about the buffeting winds at speeds 55+. A fitted and proper windscreen for you may hel...

Bought the scooter today. Decided on getting the extended warranty. Two years was just $50 more than one year so got that. Rode it home from the dealer, about 55 miles. Happy and impressed with the handling. I felt uncomfortable much over 55 because of wind buffeting. Good bike for the back roads ne...

...Thank goodness for the extended warranty. So I would say that it is up to you as to whether you believe in the product enough to not get the extended warranty, but I would, especially since the factory warranty is about to expire. That's very helpful, Mel46. Did you get more than one year extend...
