We'll done !
The valve clearance adjustment is a bit more fiddly than the old 2 valve engine but just take your time and you will be fine. If this your first time checking valve clearances remember only make very small adjustments. And you will have saved yourself a lot of money!
Good luck.

Hi again Henry900. The sparkplug socket you will need is a 14mm. Remember a short ratchet drive will make the job easier too.
Tom.

That's true Glen, I've used that technique myself many times. The main problem with the SH Mode is being able to get a ratchet in and view where the new sparkplug is entering the hole ( to avoid cross threading). Hopefully Henry900 Wil manage all right.

Hi there. Sorry for the delay in replying. I found the safest way to fit a new sparkplug was to remove the rear panels and the boot / luggage box under the seat. Part number 81250-K1N-V00. Also the front panel below the seat (part number 80151-K1N-V00ZB). This gives you more space to see what you ar...

***** Update @ 7200 miles ***** Today I checked the valve clearance on the SH Mode 125 for the first time. The service schedule states this should be done every 4000 miles, but my experience with the two PCX's I've had persuaded me to leave it a bit longer. The inlet valves were spot on at 0.10 mm, ...

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. YouTube links include:- [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dCSPXQFfwEk] [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=obv3ReUbyTc] These are both in Vietnamese but the video is very professional. You may find additional vids about the SH125i from these people as well, which ...

Hi Everyone, having had a couple of PCX's over the years and moving on to bigger bikes, I purchased a Honda SH Mode 125 last year and just wanted to offer some feedback. The Mode is slightly different to the SH 125i - slightly smaller, slightly less power, but (in UK at least) significantly cheaper ...

Well I've just done a 5000 mile service on mine, and it looked similar to yours. For the sake of £8 ($10?) I decided to change it. I think the service manual says to replace it later, but I have also noticed my fuel economy has dropped a little over the past few months. The choice is yours, but its ...

Great Service Sheets, will really help keeping a record of what had been done. Many thanks.

Site admin - is it worth making a Sticky for these??

On a lot of price comparison websites if your registration number is not recognised you can enter details of your bike manually. These sites usually come up with the best price in my experience, but be honest with your answers. Make sure all your details are correct, as any later alterations may cos...

I once had plans to ride a scooter to northern France and Belgium, and wanted to take my cycle with me in order to ride some of the classic cobbled roads used in cycle races. But no matter what framework I dreamt up to hold the frame, it didn't look right ...or safe to be honest. I doubt I could hav...

Here in the UK most riders end up fitting a tall screen, especially in winter. My current PCX was bought from the dealer with just the stock screen, whereas my first PCX was bought with the (expensive) Honda tall screen. It was immediately apparent with the new bike that it offers a lot less protect...

I've just had a new rear CityGrip put on mine at Honda in Carlisle. They charged £63 inc VAT and they took the wheel out etc. That's the cheapest tyre I've ever had replaced.....and from a main dealer! I could have saved a bit more by removing the wheel and taking it in for them to fit the new tyre,...
