Re: Iron Butt on a PCX?
My longest ride was about 800 miles over two days. Lots of fuel stops, thanks to the small fuel cell. I'm getting a couple of 750ml fuel cans to put on the scoot for some extended range. The most interesting fuel situation was finding out a town on the map didn't have a gas station. I was running lo...

Re: First boo boo
One thing I've found that works good for minor nicks and scratches is fingernail polish.
There are so many different colors, it is easy to find a very close match.
And, they are cheaper than "official" touch-up paints.
Use a fine artist paint brush and it comes out very nice.

Re: The light in the trunk under the seat
One thing that I've found when dealing with sticky-back velcro, is to heat the area with a heat-gun(hair blow dryer will work too). It makes the adhesive stick better. I have done this before and after application and it has worked very well, even in hot/cold temperatures. Just don't heat it enough ...

Re: I feel like taking a gamble.
dgnyberg, this is where I installed the tiny strobe lights. I am not sure if they are large enough to be seen during the daytime, but they are great at night and are not too large. I have a switch on the handlebar for them as well. Strobe light location.jpg I like where you installed your extra lig...

Re: I feel like taking a gamble.
dgnyberg, I am not sure where you installed you lights, but if they are like where mine are installed they will need to be aimed down a bit further if they are bothering oncoming traffic. You can usually look at them and tell if they are going to aim too high once the beam is a certain distance awa...

Re: I feel like taking a gamble.
Hey, Mel, I got a question.
I installed some 6-LED lights for night driving, but they are so bright,
I have to turn them off in oncoming traffic. Then, the stock lights are
way too dim to see. Any ideas? Yeah, I have the 2013 model, too.

Re: Question. . . Is this on the forum somewhere??
Well, thanks for the good healing wishes!! The seat has been neutered (humpectomy) and I've added some "mickey mouse" padding. I bought am ATV seat pad, which helped a little on comfort and covered the patched holes in the original seat. Then, I bought a small foam cushion and put it under...

Thanks for the responses!! Thanks for the links, and I'll keep looking around.
My longest ride was about 800 miles in 2 days.
Then, I jammed my knee on a local ride. Hope to be back riding soon!!

Re: Well... I dumped it.
I came close to dumping mine a couple of weeks ago. My results were the opposite of yours. . . I saved the scooter and hurt myself. I was coming to a stop and the front brake grabbed tight for some reason. The scoot did a stoppie, the rear came up and around to the left. There was another bike on th...

Once I got the extra seat pad, I was able to spend the day out riding. The Three Twisted Sisters route in Texas. Put nearly 500 miles on the scoot in a day, including getting there and getting home. Back-roads mostly, a few miles on the interstate. Started about 6am and got home about 8pm. Long rid...
