Re: Is this too much engine oil?

Its overfilled but not by a huge amount.

Its not ideal but won't cause any damage. If it bothers you use a small syringe and pipe to remove the excess.

Re: Anybody in U.S. pay for Roadside Assistance that wasn't with your insurance company??

Geico is giving me the best rate for 2 scooters... But they require comprehensive (I think) in order to add roadside assistance. So I'm looking into Allstate's Motor Club and AAA and wondering if anybody else has actually used these service before? Allstate's is like $12/mo, but it covers ALL your ...

Re: Frightened by Phillips. Grips with Fear

If I recall, PCX and other Japanese bikes do not use Philips by Jis (similar but can be ruined using normal screwbits). I purchased 3 special Jis screwdrivers for $30 but have never used them, instead use normal tools but go careful, which is fine if the screw is not in too tight or blue lock-tight...

Re: Front flat tyre - only a few months old

Sometimes debris and nails collect on the shoulders of roads. Whether it be in a car or m/c it can be problematic to veer right onto a shoulder in order to get around a car slowing to turn left. This is why a higher percentage of nails are found on a cars' right side tires. Or the left depending on...

That explains a lot. I've had trouble logging in and lines of script at the opening of the forum.

Thanks for fixing. Everyone complains about a format change and eventually gets used to it. TBH the forum did need it even before this.

Re: How to remove cleaning spray stains from paint work...!?

That looks OK now. Probably only you will notice it.

Acetone isn't good for paint or plastic so I'd be tempted to give the area a good wash and then wax.

Bit of a coincidence but my 1969 988 Morris Mini Cooper should be back on the road this summer after a 35 year break. Any interest in pictures?

I'd be checking and cleaning all connectors between the sensor and the speedo first.
