Re: When does a 2013 PCX 150 with 300 miles need 1st Oil Cha

Did you get the "owner's manual" upon delivery? If not, you best fetch one from "that" personand check you got your "mini" tool kit too. If you like tooling/fiddlin' with your own scoot, then it's a must to own a full blown Honda Service Manual. You can order one direc...

Re: Detailed instructions on How 2 Change variator, rollers,

That seemed to be what I was gathering, that there was an extra 10 mph to be found on the top end.... But then people also seemed to say that it helped with acceleration too!! I just don't see how it can help both. Seems impossible, but I tend to believe a bunch of random people on the internet if n...

Yamalube Spray Polish.... good enough for rust proofing PCX?

Guy at the dealership today told me that Yamalube Spray Polish is the best ever. It'll keep the chrome rust free, *and* it'll clean the plastic, mirrors, windshield, painted metal, etc. This stuff will do it all, apparently. I'd like to wipe the whole bike down tonight before it's supposed to rain t...

Missing stock tool kit. Worth it to purchase? Or make own?

Scooter came without tool kit (including wire! what's that for again?)...

Should I try to locate an overpriced toolkit on ebay?

Or should I just make up with my own toolkit?

Re: Detailed instructions on How 2 Change variator, rollers,

I'm not looking to do this today or anything...

But I'm definitely curious in what this stuff is and why it works... And how easy it is. I just like to know things. What can I say?

Re: Changes from 2013 to 2017 (or 2018) PCX 150??

The "Idle Stop" feature has never been available on U.S. models either. But we do get the "Parking Brake". One of the first reviews I saw from a couple years before 2013 said that the bike was getting Idle Stop, but I never saw anything about it after that. No wonder.... but I w...

I think the LEDs are the only thing I'm missing out on then since the NA-model skips out on the keyless ignition. I can dig it.

Re: When does a 2013 PCX 150 with 300 miles need 1st Oil Cha

Supposedly it was purchased for a mother who I think got spooked by someone else who had gotten an accident or something?? I just needed to buy something like this or a Grom for work due to recent changes... and I think I made a better (and luckier) decision. Nobody was pushing the sales of the PCX ...

Re: [Full face] helmets that store under seat of 2013 PCX 15

No way. I'd rather just use a half shell or 3/4 than put that ugly thing on the back. But of course, I'd prefer a full face helmet. And I really don't care what it looks like. Just want something I can click "Buy Now" and not have to worry about sending it back for not fitting. I just need...

When does a 2013 PCX 150 with 300 miles need 1st Oil Change?

Soo.... the people I bought this 2013 model from say that the first oil change is supposed to be done at 500 or 600 miles... so they haven't done it yet. But I know that oil should be changed every 6 months or so due to condensation / moisture buildup in the oil. Should I change the oil today? Or wa...

Detailed instructions on How 2 Change variator, rollers, etc

First of all, I have no idea what the heck a variator, rollers, sliders, etc. are. I see it mentioned all over this forum with links of where to buy the stuff or pics of the stuff.... but I don't know how to install the stuff. I'm guessing these somehow attach to the CVT, since I've never heard of t...

Re: Changes from 2013 to 2017 (or 2018) PCX 150??

But supposedly the 2013 (or maybe 2014?) and newer models come faster stock??

What is it that limits the newer ones?


ALSO... has the under the seat storage changed at all??

Re: App for active rain notification...

I know that they exist, but I just use Tempest Free, the best radar app (Android only?), mixed with the precipitation chart from Weather Underground for a better picture of the weather more than a few hours out. And if you're really fancy, you can use Windity to track the changing velocity of wind. ...

Possibly to add DC 12V "cigarette lighter" socket

So my 2013 model doesn't have a cigarette lighter, so I can't just pop my phone charger in there for emergencies. This post got me wondering if there's any easier way of rigging my scooter up with phone charging capabilities... If you don't want to go through the trouble of swapping it out, if you u...

Changes from 2013 to 2017 (or 2018) PCX 150??

I just picked up a 2013 PCX 150 w/ only 270 miles for $2200 today. I could've gotten a 2017 out the door from a dealer for $3600, but I'm not a fan of exorbitant dealer fees and such (which that dealer was actually not exorbitant at all, but the others were wanting to add close to $1000 onto the MSR...

[Full face] helmets that store under seat of 2013 PCX 150...

So I thought that there was plenty of space under the seat to store a full face helmet AND some groceries or something... which is one reason I chose this PCX over a Grom for a daily commuter. But apparently 80% (or probably more) of full faces don't actually fit without force. So a list of helmets ...
