Re: New Hybrid Honda PCX coming?

Electric motorcycles are torque machines and quiet. I rode an electric bicycle a few times and even that amazed me on how much power it had. . .while it had power. :lol: Like this one :D (the "218" bit comes from it's top speed - in MPH!) nYPYN1Qoryg Here's a longer/better video 4c_qXbS9L...

Re: 2016 Honda Forza 300 Starter Motor won't Start

The Forza started right up, it has been sitting in my garage for a...

Could well be - they have 2 different manufacturers of one of the bearings listed - at very different prices.

Re: Needed the Gloves Today

I wear mine all year around - gets a bit hot at times, but I figured they'd give my hands a lot of protection in the event of an accident. Quite true! But I'm talking a range of 5 miles and all 30 MPH or less zones along the waterfront. I live in a resort area. Traffic isn't too intense. TBH I fear...

Re: accident

Sorry to hear about your accidents.

I've clocked 34,000km on stock tyres - much of it at WOT - the only wobble I ever get is if I let go of the handlebar momentarily. Every other time the bike has been super-stable.

Re: Strange sound from the vario

I ordered the whole driven face on Partzilla and received it today. (23205-k35-v00) It is fine, that's the good part, Honda spare parts sticker, it came with a little tube of grease, unknown quality. The mounted bearings (INA) are slightly greased, but it is some factory grease, very far from the 8...

Partzilla only seem to have the 2013 speedometer assembly, least I could not see anything when searching for Honda > Scooter > 2012.

Re: Honda pcx 125 ,2017

Only way I can describe it is when I use to change the oil on a car and then turn the engine over it sounds noisy for a bit untill the new oil gets around the engine similar on my bike for a few minutes with it being new The only thing I can relate to that is a bit of a "clatter" that I h...
