20000 miles today.

Post by flyingzonker »

My 2013 PCX has just logged its 20 thousandth mile. Never have I had a bit of trouble with it. All I have done is change the plug and change the air filter a few times, change the radiator fluid and every thousand miles change the oil. I think the thousand mile oil change is the most important component in the maintenance routine. You can get a way with a lot if you will just make sure the oil is reasonably clean. How many are there here who have more than 20000 miles on their machines? Not too many I reckon.

43,125 miles / 69,000km for me. Book says to change the oil every 5000 miles / 8000 km, but I do mine at 2500 / 4000.

No significant issues either other than tyre dramas (which aren't Honda's fault).

Mine had 19,500 miles when I traded it at just under three years old.
Very minimal maintenance, never broke down once.
1,000 mile oil change is very wasteful, no need to change it so often.
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong

You are right, but it is a matter of religion with me.

Got it in 2015 - officially it's a 2014 model - but I usually have to specify 2013 in online databases ... I'll let you pick one!

Can't hold a candle to Babisbabou! Honda should give him a new one!
Mine is 2013, bought used in 2015 with 2100 miles.

Anywhere online to reference this? Seems incredibly high for such a small engine unless it had major overhauls in the process.
