Re: City Grips 2

I'm only looking ahead for my 2025 PCX but having the same problem finding a front 110/70/14 Michelin City Grip 2. The rear is available in a 130/70/13.
I don't see a 100/80/14, but both "Revzilla" and "MotorSport" list a rear Michelin City Grip 2 in a 120/70/14.
Go figure.

Sorry... I had 'zero problems' riding all winter with heated grips, heated vest, and front auxiliary LED lighting.

Re: 2025 PCX Alternator Output

Per Helm's 2025 Honda PCX's Service Manual: The 2025 Honda PCX has a triple-phase alternator with an output of.67KW @ 5000rpm. That should convert to 670-Watt capacity. I'm skeptical. Are my conversions wrong or am I overlooking something else? My 2024 Suzuki GSX250R's service manual listed an outpu...

Re: Bought a new left-over 2023 PCX today!

I'm in agreement with your 1st thoughts. Somewhere in the drive train.
Either way, GOOD that's it's still in Warranty. Honda's problem and expense.
Keep us updated.

Re: new 160 today

I picked up a 2025 PCX from my local dealer several months ago. I'm right behind you in age and came off a sport bike after decades of riding. I seriously considered the 2025 XMAX and decided it wasn't for me. Any vehicle that spends a full 1/3 of its Owner's Manual on how to manipulate its electron...

Can anyone verify the 120/70/14 will fit without rubbing the fender or causing problems?
It will fit, no problem.
Thanks for the reply. That makes things much easier.

Re: Tire size purchase problems?

I'm late to the conversation here. But the newer PCXs come with 110/70/14 front, 130/70/13 rear as OEM sizes. The rear tire @ 130/70/17 is readily available in Michelin and Pirelli offerings. Michelin doesn't seem to make the 110/70/14 in the City Grip. The Pirelli's website lists a Pirelli Angel av...

Re: 2025 Honda PCX 160 US model

I like that color a bit more than my "matte brown/gray". Very nice! Congrats on the new scoot! Does it have a physical key or is it now fob operated? I've yet to see one in person. I'm mixed on the color. I do like metallic in the paint, and the gray is a really popular auto color now. I'...

The new 2025 model I purchased looks very nice as they have covered all wires with a plastic cover in the handle bar. But this has opened up a new problem - there is no handle bar exposed to install a phone mount. Please please - if anyone knows of any contraption that would circumvent this issue.....

Re: 2025 Honda PCX 160 US model

I am almost decided to trade in my 2021 PCX for the 2025 - just so that I can get the 6-year Honda warranty extension. My son rides this in college and I need trouble free riding for him. I know these scooters - just about nothing goes wrong but I need some peace of mind. The dealer told me he has ...

Re: PCX2025 with upgraded rear shocks

I still wanna see a 2025 model but I'm happy with my 2023. Now if Honda brings the Giorgio step-thru model to the US I'll trade in towards tha5 step-thru model. I'm not opposed to the rear drums either. Like you said, simple and efficient, and plenty capable to stop a 300# scoot. The handlebar cove...

Re: PCX2025 with upgraded rear shocks

This conversation is a bit odd to me. I placed a deposit on a 2025 Honda PCX a month ago just picked it up from my local Honda dealer less than a week ago. It definitely has the traditional coil springs and, as expected, still has tear drum brake. Maybe Honda reserves the upgrades for other markets....

Re: 2025 Honda PCX 160 US model

I placed a deposit on a 2025 PCX this morning. It has an ETA of 5/21/25.
I'm hoping the 'pearl gray' looks decent.
No matter I guess since it's the only color available in the US.

Re: PCX wouldn't start

The 2014 PCX is fuel-injected, so the scoot shouldn't really be "flooded" since it has no carburetor. What I'm proposing may or not apply to your scoot... but it's all I can think of. Many bikes have a "disable switch" that will activate in the event a bike ends on its side in an...

That looks good. I like the size. How well does it work and do those lower sweeping wings provide any wind deflection off the hands?

Re: Drive belt

I'd be more concerned with what brand belt it is. And who the "seller" is on Amazon or Ebay.
If it's a reputable brand it can still be pirated and misrepresented, and if the cost is considerably lower than one you could buy from a reputable motorcycle vendor.... it probably is.
