Yep center stand on a flat ground....
what will actually happen with there being too much in there?
as i've had the Bike for about 2 months now running on whatever amount of Oil is in there.

I might just drain it all actually and put some fresh Oil in....
how much exactly needs to go in?
and any suggestions on a good Oil to use?

Just ran it for a bit, then left it for 2 minutes, took it out, wiped, back in, out... and still seems too much (photo) but again, i'm pretty sure this hasn't been touched since purchasing the Bike, as a first service wouldn't need a oil change etc... it's done just over 4000 miles now, 1500 of them...

I screwed it in, I haven't touched the Oil at all since getting the Bike, and I doubt they would of done anything with it on the first Service? so i'm guessing it's the same oil etc from when the Bike was bought new (June 2013) Will do it now without screwing...... here are 2 photos I took, took it ...

Hey, I think it must be me but where is the part on the Dipstick which it shouldn't go over? I've never taken it out and not sure what was done on the last/first Service etc, but lately the Bikes sounded like it's struggling to run as the speed increases, got a new Air Filter in, and a new Spark Plu...

That's kool,
I didn't really want to spend too much on just the middle bit,
especially when PowerByPCX does full ones for not much more or similar price...

You'll have to take some photos when it's on and let us see :-)

Yep something isn't right, there's a slight tapping sound, sounds like its coming from the front :-/ when i've got the throttle back it's fine, but then when released there's a fast tapping sound, i'll try and record it in the next couple of days........ Hopefully the new Spark Plug will be here tom...

It's hard plastic... apparently the proper ones had sharp edges, read on another Forum about them as well, i'll get it and see how I get on anyway, if it discolours quickly then i'll get at them about it as they don't mention it anywhere, be a few weeks yet until I get it so will have to make do wit...

Ok thanks a lot, i've gone with the standard, hopefully the new Filter and Plug will make a difference, and then Oil change at 5k miles.

Im in the UK....
i'll stick with the chrome looking one anyway, might make the Bike look
nicer, and I like the detail on it :-)

... or if you can direct me to one on eBay that will be suitable?

Got a new Air Filter coming as mine looks a little dirty so got a new one, i'll buy a new Spark Plug aswell, the Iridium ones are good aren't they?

Think i'll go with this, £42.50 total, £25 for the Cover and £17.50 Postage

Thanks JoshM i've seen all them though, was hoping there would be something a little cheaper, I love PowerByPCX but if I was going to get anything from there i'd get a bunch of things to make up the Postage, but at the moment I dont have the money for a bunch of things yet, also I seen United Kingdo...

Anyone know where I can get a decent one from? accidentally cracked the middle of mine, luckily it was the bit that can be removed/changed, but i'd rather get the chrome/silver one with PCX on, or a red one etc... not the standard black, but they seem to be expensive, anyone know any cheap places? o...

Just passed 4k miles, for some reason though it doesnt seem to be riding as 'smooth' as before, Engine seems to struggle abit, might just be me though... but thought getting the Oils changed might 'help' ? I still haven't had a Service done myself, so only the first one has been done which was aroun...

I haven't got a clue, my last CBT the Instructor was basically just slagging off his Wife the whole time, and then he took 2 guys out, and then took me out on my own and cut the ride short.... £135 I think is expensive, especially as we're just sitting down, then doing a few no the yard bits and bob...

I'll have to read up on it all or ask about it on Sunday, i've paid the £135 to redo the CBT on Sunday at 8am, should be fun!!!!!! (not)

Thanks, and I cant get my head around Gears, even though i'll only ever have an automatic, dont see why they cant do a full test just for automatics, plus I dont have that money yet for the tests, or time to learn Gears etc.... considering the Bike is for pleasure for the Summer, i've stuck with the...

Hey, My CBT runs out on the 24th June (cant believe its been 2 years already) Anyway, it runs out, I wont be doing a full Bike test yet so i'll be renewing my CBT for another 2 years until I can get money together for the full tests and learn Gears etc (hate Gears!).... Do I have to go there and do ...
