Re: New ride -- Honda Silverwing

I'm working on a PCX page, so if you "like", post a picture of your bike, so we can have a lot of different pics. I also figured I would be the first to do a Forza page :)

Re: New ride -- Honda Silverwing

I can't seem to find the "scooter fans" one. Could you post a link to it. And if you do decide to create a PCX one, be sure to let us know. I had to go through the Silver Wing Site on Facebook.....wouldn't even come up over there on Search..... ;) Thanks, skuuter & this is the best wa...

Re: New ride -- Honda Silverwing

Thanks. I also have another one I take a lot of pride in called "scooter fans". My cover photo is our two PCXs. I constantly update with new models as they are being released and any interesting info I come across. I hate "liking" pages and they go years with nothing new, what's ...

How many miles left in tank?

Once the last dash begins to flash, does anyone know approximately how far you can go to be safe? I get nervous when I reach one dash, but my wife rode her 150 last weekend on our group ride,10-15 miles while it was flashing & the tank still only took 1.25 gal. Like most women, she pays little a...

Re: How Did YOU Come Up With Your PCX Name ??

Mine represents both my martial arts background & my love of exotic pets, namely snakes, lizards & tarantulas. When I first starting using it in forums it was 2 letters too many, so I dropped both of the "I"s.

Re: PCX125 vs PCX150..."Let's Race"

The PCX125 isn't slow. It's the fastest 125 I've ever ridden, it beats the Buddy, Zuma, Vino etc. Of course it can't hang with the 150, it's not supposed to. If you're happy with 60 mph or a bit faster then the 125 will make you happy. I ride my wife's 150 as well, but it doesn't make mine any less ...

Re: Idle stop worries

The sudden "lurching" is all BS. Whether you twist the throttle from a stop or with the engine shut off, the result is moving forward. Nobody stated that you had to "gun" it to kick the engine back on. Another example of how the U.S. hates to be out done with technology so they f...

Re: Prevent scooter falling over

I agree, most sport bike riders are racers & not cruisers. They account for the most wrecks & deaths than all the other bikes put together. As long as the young keep buying, the brands will keep selling. Of the sport bike riders I know, none of them go for a leisurely ride, they find a curvy...

Re: 2014 PCX 150?

It can be the same, but a different model year, so it is possible for a 2014. Honda did this with the Silverwing, 2011-2013 were all exactly the same, except different year stickers.

2014 PCX 150?

Any word or just carry overs from 2013, although our dealer is running through them consistently. I wonder what Honda has left in stock from production.

Re: So... About that weight Limit...

I was shocked how low it was? My wife & I used to ride "two up" on our former Elite 110 & it weighed 40 lbs less than my PCX. I could still hit 50 mph & got around 90mpg average. I can't remember what that weight limit was but we are probably right around 340 or so. We each hav...

Re: State of the forum - July 2013!

I believe in freedom of opinions on forums, as long as there is no disrespect to posters. Most people will discredit someone's post if it has bad advice. Everyone should have or have access to an owners or service manual that tells it like it is. Nobody knows the bikes needs better than the guys tha...

Re: 2011 PCX 125 top speed?

My wife's 150 has had 3 fill ups at 105.5, 104.2 & 103. Hers is still being broken in with just over 450 miles. My 125 has had 4 fill ups with 111.8, 115.4, 107.3 & 111.7. We use Fuelly. There is about a 30 pound weight difference between my wife & I but both bikes solidly in the 100s. M...

Re: 600 mi first service?

I can live with around 200.00 per service, give or take? It's when it turns into several hundred that presents an issue. My Silverwing was due for its 16,000 mi service when I traded for my PCX. It was going to run me between 700-800.00- Ouch!! My trusted dealer assured me I would never be over 300 ...

Re: 2011 PCX 125 top speed?

All of my past Hondas have been nearly perfect with the speedos, maybe 1-2 mph off at speeds above 50. This included the Elite 110, SH150i, Reflex & Silverwing. The PCX has been dead on.

That's about what our service costs are here as well. Mine was 78.00 for everything you mentioned +spark plug, no valve adjustment needed until 2,500 miles. They were getting too many complaints with no adjustments needed, but still had to charge for taking off & putting back body panels. It wou...
