Re: Servicing

Re: Variator cover

i had a look at work today, RRP from Honda is £99 + VAT, your dealer pays a maximum of £70 +VAT so he isn't making a huge profit on that compared to something like say tyres where they make 100% + profit on them.

Re: Servicing

Re: Decline in MPG ??

ye, i agree with the cold. it's a noticeable drop but i think it will climb come the warmer months, also i would check to make sure your air filter isn;t too dirty. clogged filter = machine has to work harder

some of them made me cringe, some made me laugh but most i thought "look at that fucking idiot" and that was either about the biker taking stupid risks or the driver not having a clue about spacial awareness

Re: Center stand FAIL

holy shit, i should say thats covered under warranty, have the threads stripped out of the block? if not i would kick up a fuss with honda direct, get the number form your dealer, get onto customer relations and fight for it, they'll cover you and you might even get some freebies :P

Re: received my honda pcx top box and plates that it sits on

i second how to put the box on, at first it is really really tough, but when the rubber feet bed in it will become easier, i almost gave up on mine the first time i tried, but i am used to it and it is easier now

say hello to Honda's stock tyres :P just go steady, my old 125's tyres were dreadfully slippy on wet roads yet the 100cc i had before that handled the same roads in worse conditions so much better, dimensions were the same so it could only really be the tyres
