Re: new color for 2017 pcx 150

This reminds me of the conundrum Lou Gramm pondered:

Re: Honda pcx 150 want start

Other people can ask about the spark plug and battery...
Are you squeezing the brakes hard enough? Is there enough fluid in the brake reservoirs to trip the starter?

Re: PCX vs Piaggio Medley review, now on SLUK

Is the Medley just a small capacity Beverley?

Re: Arrow Reflex 2.0 Exhaust

I noticed much less heat coming off the scooter after changing the exhaust.

I like the look of those or the CB500F at the cheaper end of the market.
But if I was looking to spend more I'd go with a Vulcan 650 or CB650F Tricolore.

Hi Mr sinner, When I placed my order with them they had nothing in stock, but within 2 days they obtained goods and posted them out to me to arrive about another 6 days later. It was a beautiful seamless experience with email updates letting me know the status of my order and tracking information to...

Re: Great experiences yesterday!

A friend who has had mostly big power bikes over the past 40 years told me that he has heard PCX's referred to as the iPhone of scooters. I think of all of the scooters on the market, it is one of the more classy ones, if not the classiest. Maybe the Android of scooters since you can actually custo...

Re: Comfort shock absorbers

I installed YSS G-Euro XL today, and find them quite bumpy on the softest setting
However, the scooter doesn't bottom out anymore, which is a welcome improvement.

Re: Ride, hike@fly, ride

I'm quite broad in the shoulders, so I would put them on the inside of the mirror that's useless.
The outside portion of the mirror is still quite effective for catching tailgaters, etc.

Hard to tell on my tablet, but looks suspiciously like the back of a 60s split screen Corvette.

Re: New exhaust experience

Hey all, Just an update to let you know that I'm feeling quite happy with the exhaust now that the sliders are in. It was a tad disappointing confirming the exhaust is only cosmetic and good car repellent in a can. But with the sliders installed it feels like a complete package now. Nice to have som...

Re: Great experiences yesterday!

I had a good ride today, and got acknowledged a couple of times by other motorists.
I even stopped to talk to some guy parking his 4x4 that showed interest in my scooter.

Good times, Gav.

Re: Just rollers vs complete variator

Hi gang, I installed the sliders today. The scooter now has crisp acceleration up to 80kph, and not too bad beyond that, and pretty good on the hills too. I managed to get up to 110kph, but it was VERY windy and I didn't feel comfortable over 90kph, so I didn't try very hard to find my top speed. I ...
