Re: Strawberry looking oil in final gear

Honda puts engine oil in final gear as standard. UK dealers (to my knowledge) use Castrol and that is redish itself so maybe this would go pink milkshake looking if contaminated with water. But I can't personally see water getting inside by it self. Unless dealer left some other liquid in there when...

Re: Strawberry looking oil in final gear

I've put Castrol 10W40 back in and one day next week will drain it again so it will have the same trip done the only difference will be less miles done on oil in total but hopefully it will be normal this time.

Re: Speedo Sensor Problem

As Tony was saying we've checked two more sensors, different set of clocks and fuse. His PCX being v1 has speedo sensor cables with extra connector just before throttle body (my v3 has cables going straight into the loom) it all looked fine, no signs of corrosion inside terminals. Shame I don't have...

Re: Anybody had a stuck on swingarm?

Thought bit of an update. Tony came to me last weekend and it took both of us putting a lot of force using two 3foot long crowbars between wheel and swingarm but it gave in in the end. There was tiny bit of rust holding wheel bearing onto the wheel shaft but enough for it to feel as it was welded on...

You might have a problem trying to put normal halogen lights on new PCX electrical system, I can't see it running them. But let m...

How long did the trip last for and how much did it cost you? Sounds like a good backpacking trip

Re: Prep for a 2600km trip on a 2016 PCX150

Honda advise to change oil every 4000km Belt is due for changing after 24000km spark plug every 8000km air filter every 12000km Unless you're planning on doing 2600km in one hit you'll be fine, I would only suggest to take small tyre puncture repair kit with you and smallest 12V air compressor if go...
