Re: What do you think about this price for new PCX150?

Hey Mike. That SHi is a great scooter. Its more of a Italian styled scoot. My buddy has two of them. One has over 13k miles. I'm not sure but the SHi may be faster than the PCX. He loves those scooters. $1600 is a fair price for that model. I bet it's either black or red! Maybe you can get it for $1...

Re: How do I patch a punctured rear tire? Is it safe?

I don't like putting in a plug with those do it yourself kits. You wind up enlarging the tiny hole created by a nail. I have a very small leak due to a finishing nail on my Aprillia. Gonna patch it from the inside when I get time. Hopefully it should seal.

Re: Upgraded my V-Strom 650 to a new V-Strom 1000

Hey those newer DL1000 sure are nice! That is certainly my choice if I were heading on a 1000+ mi trip. How's the fuel mapping on that newer model? On the'05 the mapping was horrible and it'd buckle at 2400 rpm which by the way was highway cruising speed in 6th gear. Suzuki would never acknowledge i...

Re: Upgraded my V-Strom 650 to a new V-Strom 1000

I been riding Vee Stroms since 2007 till a few weeks ago. Had a '05 1000cc and a '07 650cc. Both very excellent bikes but I sold out and bought two scooters . I did some long memorable trips. One trip all the way to St John's Newfoundland! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170526/163b10ee7a9dd66ed4...

Re: Hi! New member here. New 2016 PCX150.

Have you ridden your pcx for long enough to know if the seat is comfortable or Not? The older model pcx had some really uncomfortable seats. However, Honda listened to the complaints, so I thought that they had made the seat comfortable with the newer models. Maybe not?? Hey Mel. The seat is growin...

Re: Percy the PCX125

Hey Carl, cheers from PA ! I'm new to the PCX. Great thread here. Thanks for posting. It most certainly is a great commuter.

But how do you manage without having a rear cargo box? I can't travel without one! It's as necessary as a tall screen.!

Re: Hi from Sydney

Hey Adrian.
I sold my '07 Vee Strom and bought a '16 PCX. I feel exactly the same as you. It's too much work to drive a full sized bike !

Re: Shad Tunnel Bag on Sale

I ordered one too. I was sent an email a few days later telling me it was indeed on back order till mid-July. Shad quality and a $40 price and only $10 shipping, seems like a good price. I just hope it seats in the tunnel properly and stays put while under way.

Re: NCY shocks...

Good to know Chicaboo, as for a review of the NCY Shock - I had a bigger WOW moment when I switched to oversized tires for comfort and looks. I'm sure these are fabulous shocks and 5 star eye candy but my balloon tires smoothed me out a long time ago. Glad I didn't pay too much for these shocks bec...

Re: locked key

I saw somewhere that there is a small plastic tool with a hook on it. I didn't receive this tool with my 2016 as I bought it with 500 mi on it. Possibly this tool only works on newer models? I am not familiar with the 2013 model.

Re: Hi! New member here. New 2016 PCX150.

Welcome to our forums markcap with 2 scooters :P I certainly recognize that Red one, I bet it will soon be your very favorite of the two. Tell us, what plate is that sitting on the rear and how did you mount it? Is it a Fast-rack from Aerostich? Hey Whitenoise! That rack I bought online many many y...
