So the after 16 model requires more frequent oil changes?

Check battery and connection.

Did yours also used to smell after wrapping? If so for how long mate. I can now smell that burning in or bedding in every time I stop at lights for longer than 2sec lol Can't say it did but it is under the seat. I find my bikes tend to smell in winter, whether this is due to what I wash it with or ...

I did the same with my MT-01, Used the same tie wraps, lasted 6 years so far.

As a stop gap, you can file a little off the point of a ordinary Philips driver, it will fit better.

You could get these. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vessel-B33-4-Screwdriver-Bit-Set-Phillips-1-4-JIS-ISO-4-Piece/152373385808?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D40794%26meid%3D70ab575fdeae40868b918f5fcdbd486c%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D2%26sd...

The grip has to go further, try WD 40 with a straw pushed down between the grip and the bar. If you can't do this take the grip off and add lube. You cant leave it there if you want to replace the bar end weights. You can trim about the end 3mm.

Does a phone GPS and a dedicated GPS use a different data system?(satellite vs mast based signal).

If it masks the problem, wouldn't it suggest a bearing?

Mine was like this, so normal I guess.

How many miles has it been run in this condition?
Which oil 10-30? if so try some 20-50 and see if it is any quieter.

How long have you had it, did you buy it new?
Has it always done it?
Engine rough or transmission?

Check the sensor.

I find it hard to imagine your cylinder/head is warped. With the amount of coolant lost and the oil capacity of the scooter I would think you would see some emulsion.

If it is a leaking head I would have thought you would see some oil emulsion somewhere, can you get the cooling system pressure tested as I recon a leaking gasket should give a higher pressure.

It's up to the rider to assess the road condition, No vehicle can be ridden the same in the wet as in the dry. The PCX is as good as anything in the wet.

The PCX is, but is the rider?

Did you buy the scooter from new? Recently have it serviced? Seems a long time for a manufacturing fault to show itself. I had it serviced in February 2016 (9 months ago). <10,000km is a long time for a manufacturing fault to show itself? Are you saying this from opinion or professional experience ...
