Let's see it. I have collected a few PCX manuals for different years and languages. These are the closest words I can find:

Re: 2016 pcx150 warm up question

I say BS. Honda user manual doesn't say anything about warming the engine up before a ride. Athletes don't take 10W-40 oil. There are most probably more long-lasting Hondas in Vietnam than in the US. I went there last month. Honda is doing very well there. I don't think they take time to warm up any...

Re: PCX 125 2015 LED - coolant change

I just got this in my recommended videos, I thought somebody might find it useful. It is in Japanese but is very clear. Removal of the engine-side coolant drain bolt starts at 4:19.

Re: My 2016 PCX 150 (Cambodia)

[...]and see how much they want for an oil change. 5 USD, I can't go wrong with that price so, I opted for an oil change. This mechanic was such a tool. The first thing I noticed , all the other bikes on the lift was on the center stand . This guy had my moto on the side stand , and I know that the...

Re: 2016 PCS ABS

I remember because I got my long-awaited Thailand made 2015 model in February 2016, and few months after that the 2016 model came out. Sorry, correction: The 2016 model came out probably in the final quarter of 2015, before I got my 2015 PCX! Here in my country motorcycle market is very small, I wa...

Re: 2016 PCS ABS

Yes, Smartkey was first introduced in the 2016 model in some countries including Thailand. I remember because I got my long-awaited Thailand made 2015 model in February 2016, and few months after that the 2016 model came out.

Re: My New Honda PCX 125cc

I guess I am looking at it from the perspective that most riders who have a 2013 model have done most of the upgrades themselves that they had asked Honda to do, except for LED lights and ABS brakes. You forgot the fuel tank upgrade. Maybe also the convenience of a 12V cigarette receptacle. From th...

Re: Idling Stop works intermittently

This is exactly same as mine. But now even 10 minutes of riding and switching engine off and on rarely gets the idling stop back on. I thought it was the battery too, but checked my battery was 12.66V under no load. So I don't know.

Re: I'm usually averaging around 88mpg. Is this normal?

My worst is 42.3km/L, which translates to 99.5mpg. That was when I had to ride WOT for good few hundreds of km in order to keep up with my biker brothers. Even so, I think I got room to get worse. So your mpg is normal.

Re: PCX 125 2015 LED - coolant change

I let someone else drain my coolant a few weeks ago at just over 2.5 years and only 9344km. He was a mechanic from a shop that does not sell a Honda, AFAIK. Anyways, after only getting a small amount of coolant in the radiator, he found and removed that cylinder drain bolt after putting my PCX on bo...

Re: How do I find which year Honda PCX I own?

My "Chassis number" is engraved on the flat metal surface under the seat, near the latch. It begins with 'MLHKF' like Mel's. The model year identifier is the 10th character. Mine is an 'F' which means 2015. A 2013 should get you a 'D'.

Re: Navigation

No, I'm not buying that. It seems you have to keep glancing down on it. That can't be good. Keeping phone in my pocket/mount and hearing turn-by-turn voice guidance is the way I do it.

Re: Dashboard visibility

I guess not. That looks normal to me. It should be like that in bright daylight. It is not phone screen bright. Unless, of course, you also have difficulty seeing it even at night.

Re: Headphones

I use Plugfones with my Cardo Packtalk. I love it.

Tried the speakers that came with the Cardo but could barely hear with normal earplugs on. Speakers probably needed precise placement in my helmet but that seems impossible to achieve.

Re: Ram Mounts X-Grip IV follow-up

I'm going with this item to attach my Ram Mount: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005J43I56 I think that is the best RAM mount base for PCX. It is low profile, central, relatively cheaper than other bases, need no taking off (vs Tough-Claw base), can be easily used as a convenient hook, and you c...

I guess latest one should be called model 2018 Mark 2. I notice they usually update model year around September, but the new one came out late in December.
