Re: 2013 pcx 150 wont start
Does the engine management light come on? Try disconnecting the battery for a couple of minutes then reconnect and try to start, there will be an OBCD (on board computer diagnostic) plug somewhere. Might be worth calling a Honda dealer to see where it is. It should be reasonably accessible,although ...

Re: Can't open seat anymore ...
Not sure if this will work,but you could try putting power in via 12v socket. Depends if battery has to be connected for the seat circuit to work. Worth a try,just connect two leads to 12v and a plug.
Good reminder for all of us to be careful though!!

Re: Had anyone swapped a pre 18 125 for new one? I need a co
I can't compare old versus new, but I doubt you will notice any real difference. I have had mine since the end of July,(2018 model) and I have reached 65 mph (gps figure) on the flat with no wind assistance, so I think if the road was long enough and I crouched down I would be able to achieve 67/70 ...

First service day UK
Just had my first service,92 mile round trip and £75 to get that stamp in the service book. Was against my natural Scrooge like nature,but I weighed up saving the money and doing the oil change myself and possible arguments about the warranty being broken. Met an even older rider having his Nmax fir...

Re: Two Scooter riders in Two days Riding badly
It's always a shock to see people with presumably similar interests act in a way that is totally anathema to oneself, besides putting themselves and others at risk,they have probably tainted the view of several others regarding bikes

Re: Front brake pistons - how free of stiff is normal?
If I had a new caliper,I would fit it to eliminate at least one part of your puzzle,and keep the old one as a spare. If you go this route,I would have the new caliper to hand,so that the least possible brake fluid is lost. I would then bleed front brake only at first,as it is by far the easiest to d...

Re: Front brake pistons - how free of stiff is normal?
M and P are pretty good,can you clean your pistons up? I've used autosol chrome cleaner before,just make sure its all off.

Re: Front brake pistons - how free of stiff is normal?
I assumed you were servicing the calliper as it was off the bike,so I thought you were fitting new seals,don't know if a calliper kit is available for our bikes,but if it is and you have the calliper partially dismantled, I would consider going down that route.

Re: Front brake pistons - how free of stiff is normal?
I should have read your post more carefully,apologies, I have found that if you lubricate the seals in the calliper and the piston with brake fluid,get the piston square on and then push with a slight twisting motion,they should go in with a moderate amount of pressure. I assume you have cleaned the...

Re: Front brake pistons - how free of stiff is normal?
Pistons must be a very good fit in the bore for obvious reasons,make sure any seal is correctly fitted ,remove top of brake reservoir,place rag around to catch any spillage etc. If the calliper is off the bike just make sure you insert evenly,they will appear to be tight until more of the piston is ...

Re: More observations on 2018 pcx 125 Starter Circuit
Was that from Honda direct?
When and if it is available for mine (2018 v3) I will definitely buy one if it is available in the uk
The only ones I've seen have been by Helm.inc and Cyclopedia,both from USA,.

Re: More observations on 2018 pcx 125 Starter Circuit
It is a bit confusing,Asian models can have alarms fitted,the only workshop manual supplier seems to be in the USA,(coming out this month for 2018 model apparently),and I think US models can have a parking brake on the rear brake lever, I suppose Honda dealers get specific information on their marke...

More observations on 2018 pcx 125 Starter Circuit
In case anyone needs to know I have done a little test to confirm how the brake lever affects start procedure,firstly it only works on rear brake lever,secondly there are two distinct phases of the lever,when pulled initially the brake light comes on,pull harder and the start circuit is made. I did ...

Re: index for pcx service manual
As usual I have confused everyone,I have a PDF of an earlier model service manual written in Thai, it would be slightly better to have the index in English,even better the whole manual, but due to my non existent computer skills it's too large to translate on Google translate. It won't make sense to...
