Re: I'll be leaving soon

Nice to fix a bike up and get it on the road doesn't look in that bad a shape either. Do they still have the magic round about in Swindon?

Re: 2016 Honda Forza 300 Starter Motor won't Start

Brand new out the crate I'd leave it to the dealership to sort assuming you have warranty? A mate of mine bought a Chinese scooter that arrived in a crate saying minor assembly required. We put the few bits together but after connecting the battery it wouldn't start. All the lights and everything el...

Re: New owner pcx 125

If I could change just one thing on the PCX it would be to swap the hazard lights for a normal headlight on/off switch. In New Zealand it's the law that motorcycles must have their headlights on - which I think is very sensible anyway. So I don't personally have any need to ever switch my headlight...

PCX whispers a member on here? YouTube service videos

Stumbled across a bunch of walkthroughs on service items on YouTube from a guy called PCX whispers. By any chance is he a member on this forum? If he is and reads this I think your videos are great, always useful to have a visual to refer to if you get stuck. Thanks man If he's not a member then jus...

Re: New owner pcx 125

I don't personally like the stop start. Prefer the instant power rather than the slight lag with the Stop/Start. Plus it has failed on me twice, which results in you having to frantically switch off/on and restart bike. Not worth the hassle in saving a tiny bit of petrol. As a new owner I'm just pl...

Re: New owner pcx 125

If I could change just one thing on the PCX it would be to swap the hazard lights for a normal headlight on/off switch. I see no use for the hazards other than saying thanks but generally I just give a thumbs up anyway. This is being ultra fussy of course as simply cannot fault this bike otherwise.

New owner pcx 125

Finally! After posting earlier about testing a brand new PCX I had some nice tips from some of you and did a deal tonight on a 2015 with 4k on the clock. It was serviced just 400miles previous and barely used since. Brand new tyre on the front and back and a Brand new givi monokey box. It really is ...

Re: Burgman 400 to PCX 125

Mine has done 32,000km since it's last valve check. I actually asked the dealer to do it the other day whilst doing some other work that I didn't feel like tackling, but it's the one thing he didn't get around to doing. He said it can damage the engine if they close up, but in the next breath admit...

Re: Burgman 400 to PCX 125

Been looking at some of the how to videos on YouTube and bit taken back by the valve check/adjustment and how much plastic you have to remove to get to it. The 4k bike will soon be on 5k miles so that check is on the cards. Agonising over pros and cons to each bike. Apart from a CBR 600 when I was 2...

Re: Burgman 400 to PCX 125

I've always serviced my own bikes. I think the dealership charges £125 plus parts so I'll be doing it myself. Speaking to the dealership they said it's had its first service and said service intervals of 2500 miles?? My main thing over the years and bikes is to keep good oil in them had an old CB500...

Re: Burgman 400 to PCX 125

And sadly me too! Based in UK and will update profile along with Pics of the new ride once the deal is done. It's a decision now between a 4k 2016 at £1800 or a 100 mile 2017 model at £2'300. Tough choice.

Re: Burgman 400 to PCX 125

Thanks all doesn't seem to be much horrors to look for then. Luckily or sadly my commute is down from 20 miles each way to 3miles so top end isn't something I'm worried about. Appreciate your reply will update when I've bought it. Thanks

Burgman 400 to PCX 125

Hi Recently test rode a brand new PCX 125 and must say I was very impressed. Compared with my Burgman it seemed so light and decent power for a 125. Have got my eye on a 2016 model with 4k on the clock. I've read all the reviews and seems like a smart bike for the money. I tend to service my own bik...
