why I wear a helmet ALWAYS

I was out riding Friday on my lovely red PCX 150. After an hour I was getting close to my destination. I came to a T intersection, stopped and, not knowing which way to turn, started searching right and left for some kind of clue indicating the whereabouts of my goal. There was traffic coming on, no...

Re: Final Drive oil change??

Thanks. That is the where of what I wanted to know. Now, tell me, how do you get the oil into that oil check hole? Seems you would almost need a syringe of some kind.

Final Drive oil change??

I went to change my oil this morning in my 2013 PCX 150 and somehow got sidetracked. Instead removing the engine oil drain bolt, I took out the final drive oil drain bolt. While I was loosening the bolt I had a feeling that I was doing something I didn't really want to do and hadn't done before.But,...

It's been a long time and still no conclusion to this tutorial? Did the project self-destruct? or what?

Rotella t 5 oil

I wonder if anyone uses Rotella T5 oil in their PCX. Does it meet the specs for the PCX? I cant tell by the label--to many mysterious signifiers

mileage

I seem to be getting pretty good mileage on my 2013 PCX--101 miles on .78 gal of gas. I am a skinny guy--130 lb--and maybe that makes a difference. What octane do people use in these scooters anyway. I have been using 93 but today, by mistake, I put in regular. Does it make a great deal of differenc...

Re: My PCX!%) AKA Cottontail

Yes, I am going to trade it in--but not too soon and not because I don't like it. It is a wonderful piece of machinery.

I knew that in a while I would be trading this scooter in and wanted to send it back to the dealership exactl...

Re: top box mount without drilling holes in the tail

I definitely agree with that. I pulled my tail piece off and drilled it out in a matter of minutes, knowing that I could purchase a replacement piece cheap.

an aerodynamic boost--what's not to love? Probably look a little better than a high screen too.

Re: windscreens and mpg on PCX 150

My personal experience with the GIVI tall windscreen on my PCX150 is that it does not seem to change the gas mileage for better or worse. It does get rid of all buffeting and for some reason makes the bike more stable in cross winds and around heavy traffic. Also. I can now ride with my face shield...

top box mount without drilling holes in the tail

Since I found out that I would have to drill holes in the tail piece of my 2013 Pcx150 to mount a top box--using the mounting kit provided by Honda--I have been hard at it trying to cook up some way to mount a box without drilling. I don't intend to use the box more than once a week. I need a tempor...

windscreens and mpg on PCX 150

What is the MPG effect of the addition of a, say, 17 in windshield on a PCX 150. Seems to me their would by an aerodynamic enhancement factor in this procedure that would result in more miles per gallon. I suppose there are other parameters than height to be considered--width, angle of wind inciden...
