Reject the bike. Not sure where you are, but in the UK you're within your rights to.

It is pretty bad.
You reckon? 6.5k is about the same as on other scoots in the past.

Re: Red October's First Ride!

When my storage is full I use the helmet cable and hang it off the loop under the seat. I tried that when I first got it, and it works fine. However, with a Camera & Scala on it, I didn't want to have to remove both items every time I stopped, and lock them up. After awhile, it wears out the Mo...

Re: Wiring up an extra brake light

Wired it all up this morning. I built a short harness with a 6P connector plug and socket, and connected it between the main harness and the lighting end. I tapped into the mini-harness with a couple of posi-tap connectors to the new brake light. I do it like this because I can take it off leaving n...

Re: Rear brake pad wear

My Forza has just done around 6k miles and is with the local mechanic for a new rear tyre. He's just texted to say the rear pads are down to 1mm. Is this normal wear, or am I victim to the sticking rear caliper? If it's the caliper, what's my best course of action? IMO its absolutely not normal wea...

Re: Should I trade it in?

Branyers14, I sure never had a problem with the wind when I had my Silverwing. It was steady, stable, comfortable and fast. I went ahead and traded in my Forza today and bought a new Burgman 400. I was the happiest guy in the world during the 50 mile ride back home from Sacramento. It feels so nice...

Re: Removing Forza rear light cluster

Thanks! Too much trouble for me though. I need to wire up an extra brake light and was thinking that if it was easy to get the cluster off it would be easy to sort the wiring. Given the work needed though I think I'll just fiddle about in the small space.

Wiring up an extra brake light

I've just ordered a brake light for my Shad topbox bracket. When I wired in a Givi topbox brake light on my last motorbike I made up a wiring harness with a plug at each end which I just plugged in between the rear light cluster and the loom. This meant that I wouldn't be cutting into the bike's loo...

Re: So glad I went for the PCX 125 rather than the Vision 11

The Vision is loads of fun when you're used to riding something big - you feel like you could literally pick it up and throw it around. It's most at home in congested cities, where it beats pretty much anything. Outside of this it's still capable and incredibly cheap, but you just have to be patient.

Re: Fatter tyres after motorway scare

This doesn't sound right. Your bike shouldn't be squirming like that on an emergency stop. Unless you're too close to the vehicle in front, and really panicking. I commuted 25 miles each way on the M5 for a few weeks on my 110 Vision, while waiting for my Forza. It was adequate. I got into the knack...

Re: Top case for 13 PCX150

Honda cases can work off your ignition key, but I don't think any other can.

I've got a Shad SH45 on my Forza. It's much better than the Givi boxes I've had in the past.

Not sure if you're in the UK, but AJ Sutton are the UK Shad distributor and they're very good to work with.
