Re: Reservoir tank empty
You’re fine as long as it’s not below the minimum line when the engine is cold. If you over fill it, the excess will just expand out the overflow tube when the engine gets hot - no problem.

Re: Anyone else drive a VW
I think all that conspiracy to intentionally dream up the idea, plan it, design it, build it, sell it, and then deny all knowledge that their EFI system was programmed to give false pollution readings during inspections was all a hoax. Doesn't matter that people admitted it, or that international te...

Re: Broken exhaust stud bolt
If there’s any stud still there to grip on, first get some “Kroil” spray to soak the stud threads with several times before you try to back it out. If there’s not, Hit it with Kroil, get a reverse drill bit to Drill the hole for the extractor. Lots of times, the reverse torque will back out the stud...

Re: questions from a soon-to-be rider
Nice video- I wish there were a replacement seat that had a reasonable shipping cost, the ones I’ve seen to resolve the hump were reasonably priced but the shipping was waaay high.

Will a 2020 PCX seat fit 2018-2019 models ?
I've read where the 2020 model has a modified seat - I assume that means the hump is moved back a bit since that's the main issue with earlier model seats. Does anyone know if the 2020 will fit any earlier models? If someone has a 2020, I can send measurements for front bolt holes, rear lock lever, ...

Re: 2015 PCX 150 sounds like a Rod Knock
The original plug looks either lean or a bit of bad spark timing. Correct would be grey not white, no blistering & less electrode erosion - that plug has both. The wetness isn’t necessarily oil could be rich which of course conflicts with lean. This is above my competence grade ( I stress this f...

Re: 2015 PCX 150 sounds like a Rod Knock
How about we try This “?” Order a cooler or hotter spark plug “?” Try that.. Now, which way does one go for a spark knock? Cooler?? Give me your wisdom PCX Forum members.. If you want to go that direction- instead just drain the PCX fuel and put it in your car. Then go to a gas station that sells h...

Re: 2015 PCX 150 sounds like a Rod Knock
IF my cam chain jumped a tooth because of a weak tensioner setting THEN exhaust could/may be present during combustion, which overheats causing spark knock, or a too far advanced spark to valve timing.. Yes No “?” Anyone? I'd say no. Wouldn't skip a tooth, at least I've never heard of a loose tensi...

Re: Fuel Issues
I thought my PCX fuel tank was made of some sort of plastic or synthetic material. At least it looks that way when I watch the fuel level as I gas-up.Two months ago I noticed that my 2013 PCX150 scooter gas tank was rusting horribly.
