Re: Electric Hype

Hydrogen is one of the very worst "upside-down" forms of energy. What process was used for extracting/concentrating the hydrogen? Electrolysis? Super heating with natural gas? Bad example of "green", there. That solar plant doesn't "stand alone". It takes a whole lot mo...

Re: Handlebars

If you can get cables and a brake line, the rest should be easy.

Re: Idle switch not working

Could be a few things. I was just flipping through the manual and I don't see anything on it. likely going to need a pro to hook up to the controller. We don't have (what I know as) "stop-start" from our vehicles on the version of the bike we get in the States. I don't like it in our cars,...

If you can get $1500 for it, take it.

Re: Honda service

At that price, how many services until you've bought the bike twice? I don't treat mine any different than any bike I've had, before. The bike I sold before downsizing to this one was 40 years old. I must be doing enough and I spend nothing like that amount.

Re: Break in period

You can use synthetic whenever you want. Many motor companies ship their motors with synthetic oil from the factory. The main reason ALL aren't filled that way is expense. It has nothing to do with break-in. Use conventional or synthetic at your preference.

Re: New Honda windscreen fits my 2015 !!

Great news, good on ya! I too, have marvelled at how fast Webike! ships. Of course that's why their shipping is so pricey. As to posting pix on forums, it's far easier to use a free service like Photobucket and then simply use the linking feature to post the pix with. At that point "size doesn'...

Re: Fuel cap hard to screw and unscrew

Yes, a bit of lube on the rubber gasket might help, if that's the jam. Have you dropped or otherwise injured the cap or filler neck? The cap's bayonet flange may be bent? Pretty simple to inspect and see what's up. If you know someone with the same bike you can try their cap and see if the trouble s...

I don't see why not. If you have a manual you should be able to find the ignition feed you need.

How do they start them quickly, without the key? Are PCX's ignition locks defeated simply say, with with a small flat-blade screwdriver?

Re: cold start problem

Cold weather typically lowers fuel economy on all IC motors. Unless it's a ton, it's to be expected. Did you look at the gap on the plug, yet? For grins, you could gap it to the wide side of the spec and test again. Easiest thing besides maybe you got a load of less-than-useful fuel? With no MIL the...
