Re: Urgent help needed!

Go to Ye Olde Honda Shoppe in the high street and have a look at a new one, take it off the stand and sit on it, see if the suspension feels any different...? There are like 3 or 4 other pcx at work so i was hoping to talk to another owner but had no luck. Very good idea about going to a dealer, ma...

Re: Urgent help needed!

Just watched a video on youtube about how to remove the rear wheel and its actually a hell of a lot easier to get the shocks, swing arm, etc off than i thought. Dont know why i built it up to be such a big job, time to get the tools out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKGRtcZY1q0&NR=1&featur...

Video of the suspension; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lR7qeEPtWFE&feature=youtu.be Front tyre is IRC at 12000 miles, problem started off as feeling slightly unstable like getting a flat so i thought it might have been the front wearing a flat spot or warped but its still legal. Ive got a City ...

Re: Urgent help needed!

Is it difficult to remove/replace the shocks? Ive got plenty of tools but noting like a spring compressor.

Im tempted by the used pair on ebay for £45 and fitting myself, i could do with knowing the bike better!

Re: Urgent help needed!

Yep the tyres are fine but the front is very old. The back end is really 'limp' so im pushing towards the shock problem...its literally unridable and had to nurse it home at like 20mph. The plan is to by new shocks then blags a lift from the AA to my dealer as i really carnt to the ride there as it ...

Re: Sym Maxsym 400i ABS

Anything 'retro' the average person (aka car driver) likes, anything modern they dont. I would love something like a Piaggio, Vespa, Lambretta but my scoots a workhorse so i want reliability and functionality. Vespas do look good...but then ive always liked the Fiat 126 too so my taste isnt the norm...

Re: Sym Maxsym 400i ABS

I was also thinking about what car i could get for £5000....think i would go for an A3 over a TT tho! Lets face it you will never look good on a scooter (maybe a good vespa on a sunny day) so it kinda defeats the idea of spending more on a scoot just because it looks good. This is why my top priorit...

Re: Sym Maxsym 400i ABS

First time i saw an x10 was when i pulled up next to one at the lights, 'looked good' i thought! Then it pulled off in front of me...with those (awesome looking) brake lights flashing like a disco the whole time i followed him, something very wrong with it and put me off somewhat. I still went to lo...
