Re: How many miles do you have on your PCX

I have my pcx now exactly two years, at this moment the odometer says 15000 km or around 9300 miles. Will be adding around 8000 km each year as I now use it every day for my commute. Plus maybe another 2000 km a year because I simply love riding it for fun, I sometimes come up with reasons just to t...

Re: a cautionary word

Other possible scenarios of forgetfulness: :roll: ... 2) You put your new sunglasses on the top box while you put your full face helmet on. You start up the bike to let it warm up for a bit.

Indicators not working

Hello, As title says, the indicators sometimes do not work (with sometimes I mean in the past 6 months twice... does not seem a lot but can be quite frustrating - from now on this will be one of my pre-ride checks everyday). On this forum I have read many times to clean the switch etc. Those two tim...

Re: Truthfully, how often do you check your oil?

I commute with my pcx 250 km each week and I check it once a week. Doesn't take that long but I am lazy. 14000 km so far and no problem whatsoever.

Re: dr pulley rollers / sliders

I have 13.5 dr pulley sliders in the stock vario this works best for me. I tried the Dr Pulley Vario V211501 as i said but it was no good. , for me 13.5 seems to be the sweet spot. :edit: read also: https://hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=9101 after installing the dr pulley variator and a coupl...

Re: dr pulley rollers / sliders

I have to agree as well, dr pulley sliders only made the top speed go up by ~10km/h. I installed a dr pulley vario as well, went for some couple of rides and decided to go back to stock. Reason: even on idle throttle the belt would catch and still give some power going forward, no smooth 'linear' ac...

Re: Today

Today I took the pcx out for a ride after my lowside crash of 1.5 month ago; still got a painful thumb and I occasionally drop my fork/knife while eating because sometimes this finger does not want to play along. I managed to ride for 30 minutes without having too much pain so goodbye iron cage for ...

Re: Frustrated iron cage drivers

As of now I will have to join the iron cage drivers again temporarily. Not due to bad weather but due to a lowside crash with the pcx at around 50km/h - was in the port area near my house and there this patch of road which is somehow very very slippery. Once it nearly went wrong there and as of sinc...

Re: Anyone has or tried dr.Pulley variator?

Ok, I realize I am replying to myself but it might be useful for other people so here goes. I decided to buy the above mentioned dr. pulley variator. It came by default with 15gr. sliders which state it should be good for good acceleration and a slightly higher top end (at least it says so on the we...

Frustrated iron cage drivers

So today coming back from work, as usual I encounter several traffic jams which I beautifully (legally) lane split between. When getting up to the red traffic light, the car behind me starts revving his engine. Seconds later he creeps up to me - I guess only 10 cm away from my license plate. Light t...

Re: TUCANO URBANO TERMOSCUD - Which one, R202X or R082

It's up to you but I think proper waterproof riding gear will be better. I suspect you will too after a while. x2 I also use the PCX for my commute (25km one way so a similar distance), so far I have only left the PCX at home when it had snowed (2 days) - at this moment I've done ~12 000km on it ri...

Re: OBD2 on Honda PCX that works!

I imagine there is a small microprocessor in the 4 to 16 pin connector, probably the signals are somehow serialized and/or multiplexed so unless you know exactly what order of bytes (i.e. low and high signals) etc. are coming out and how they should be translated into multiple channels it's a lost c...
