Re: Broken down :(

That sounds reasonable for U.S.rates .
1 hour of shop labor = $110
Parts = $60

Glad you're safe and back on the road!

Re: Broken down :(

Very happy nothing serious happened while you were driving (like an accident), and that it wasn't a major issue with the machine. Unfortunate a belt went, but at least "it's just a belt." Yikes that's a lot of money! (I'm guessing $205 USD) Seems a bit steep, what is the breakdown of the b...

Re: Why a WHITE helmet

I delved into the subject of drivers "not seeing" motorcyclists deeply last Fall when a woman at a T-intersection was stopped and looking down at her phone, checked for traffic by looking up and straight at me--directly in the eyes--then pulled out right in front of me creating another nea...

Re: GoPro Mount Suggestions

Mel, I tried putting a ThinkWare dashcam on a Slingshot, kept triggering the collision alert. Tried a GoPro on the Fury handlebar, too much vibration over 35. It might work on a PCX though, as they're really smooth. I use all aluminum pieces from RAM since they are more solid than the high-density p...

Re: What has been your longest continual ride on the PCX?

My longest ride? Probably 10 miles, and then only because I store it for Squirrel and she didn't winterize it due to the extended season we had this year & the one or two 65F days a month we're getting. So if it hasn't been run for a month and she''s working on "the warm day" I'll take...

Re: Battery need a new one??

Wow. We seem to go through a sky falling stage. Everyone needs to stop thinking and get back on their bikes. You and science don't get along, do you? Keep thinking, it's what humans should be doing. This is true when there is a standard run of the engine without start/stop. The scooter Honda there ...

Re: LED guide, my findings.

Completely illegal in the United States as they are not Department Of Transportation certified. However, nobody usually cares as long as they're not abnormally impeding other drivers' vision.

Re: Battery need a new one??

Stop/start wears the battery which is supplying current while the engine is not generating it; all batteries have a limited amount of charge/discharge ability and this is using it. On the restart there is no oil pressure which contribute greatly to engine wear, unless the laws of physics are somehow...

Re: Battery need a new one??

No mandatory start / stop in the U. S., so we don't have it (it's really hard on the engine due to no oil pressure during startup causing wear). I'm looking at going lithium for the Fury, but $350...ouch. Thanks for the topic...found this as far as cold weather: In cold weather (-4⁰F) the Lithium Pr...
