Re: rideing the pcx in the rain?

You can disagree all you like, but its widely known to work. I will disagree with the statement of "it's a widely known to work', what is the source or sample size of this evidence based research? Its a bit like claiming 'everyone knows' or 'everyone says' or 'everyone does'. Usually terms use...

Re: rideing the pcx in the rain?

Can't agree with that comment (GN2) - the PCX is thrown from side to side in heavy wind - not a riders fault just a light bike with light load (I weigh about 77KG's and 6ft) - relaxing your grip and not tensing the arms will not stop the bike from being blown around, unless you weigh a great deal a...

Re: My exhaust is rusty. Ideas?

Just sorted my exhaust out on my scooter I'm trading in for my PCX - I like to hand over a clean scooter! Took off exhaust trim, rubbed down with wire wool, wiped down with panel wipe and allowed to dry. Two coats of matt black exhaust paint (brush on, easier to apply) purchased from Halfords. Usual...

Re: rideing the pcx in the rain?

I live in Scotland, if rain put me off riding I wouldn't be on the PCX much. I don't ride in snow, ice or very high winds, no two-wheeler is safe in those conditions. Never had a problem with the stock tyres, just take it slow, don't let cars intimidate you and concentrate. Enjoy !! High wind is th...

Re: what is the coldest weather u rode ya pcx in?

Northumberland, England, gets down to -7C during winter often. I ride all year round, with a bit of preparation and good quality rider wear it's no problem!

Re: New (soon to be) Owner

congrats in advance, mine is four months old and everything is still stock. I don't find the need for a top box for now too, since I'm using this only to go to work and around the city. Btw, white is awesome..lol Similar reason, don't need the extra space, used to cramming my stuff in a 50cc scoote...

Re: New (soon to be) Owner

Hi welcome, good choice red that's what I wanted but 7week wait at the time so 2nd choice white, you say you are not a fan of top boxes can you tell me why ugly or they slow you down, regards Lafree Space consideration mostly, they stick out and up too much to get my garage door shut. And they spoi...

New (soon to be) Owner

Hello, a quick introduction if I may! Due to pick up my PCX in the middle of December, a nice xmas present to myself. Have been riding scooters for the past 17 years, all 50cc on my car licence. Have never needed a larger capacity scooter as I mainly commute / potter around on local roads. Due to wo...
