I don't know if it works with the smaller bike radiator, but you might go by an auto parts supply and get a test kit to see if you have a blown head gasket. You didn't say if it's smoking or steaming from the exhaust, but the bogging you mentioned could indicate coolant in the cylinder. It's worth t...

Re: Just need to say I'm blown away that people doubt and refuse to believe the 21 can hit 85mph

I've tried three different weight combinations of Dr. Pulley sliders and have been able to reach a consistent 72 mph per gauge and GPS. I dialed it back an ounce to an 18/20g combo for the original 19g weight because I didn't like the low end bog the 20g caused. I can still maintain an honest 70/71 ...

Re: PCX 160/125 Accessories and Modification

I added the Puig windscreen, replaced the rear fender with a hugger and license plate kit, replaced the side reflectors with led units, added a GPS, and got a MP Motor seat from Thailand. Also found through trial and error that Dr. Pulley sliders in a 20g/18g combination (18g) work the best for my w...

Re: 2017 PCX150 Belt damaged 3 times on highway

One of the guys I follow on Youtube, Quasimotard, had a similar issue with his 2016. He believes it was from using an aftermarket variator. In his case it was a NCY. Do you know if your mechanic replaced the variator when you had the belt changed? If he did, going back to a stock unit might fix the ...

Strange Difference

While trying to wrap my head around why we didn't get a rear disc in the States it also occurred to me how strange it is not to have hazard lights on our models. You'd think that would be a no-brainer.

Re: 2022 PCX whistle sound from left side

That doesn't sound normal at all. It's possible that there might be something going on in your cvt/variator. Definitely have your dealer check it out. Might be something as simple as a turned roller.

Re: A light 2022 125 Pcx

Sorry. We don't get that model as of yet. I do have the factory service manual for my '21 and I'll take a look to see if there's anything helpful mentioned (It's the most plain service manual I've ever purchased though).

Lighted Reflectors

I found some interesting lighted reflectors on Amazon that can be used as running lights or turn/brake lamps (3 wire). I like the added visibility and they look just like the stock units.

Re: A light 2022 125 Pcx

Can you clarify what lights you are talking about? I have the 2021 ABS 160 PCX. If by "A" light you mean anti-lock brakes then it comes on when the ignition is turned on and goes off within a few feet of travel. I'm going to guess that "s/s" is side stand? I don't have that on my...

Everything worked until it came to voltage. The USB-C to wire adapter would not supply the proper voltage due to the USB-C ...

Re: Tall windshield for 2022 PCX150? They don't exist yet?

I went with the PUIG windscreen because the National Cycle tall screen was/is still a question mark at the time I got my 2021 160. It gives really good protection, but does have a slight mileage and speed penalty.
