In any case ... Which one is better. Air cooled or water cooled?
Thanx

Your seller is an idiot. Liquid cooled engines have a radiator. That is how the system gets rid of heat.tinoc32b wrote:Thanx gn2! But my seller told me there is no radiatorbecause of its short displacement , and i believe that the model is imported from thailand directly, because it has the idling sistem, when i asked where this model came ... He told me from the united states, and i know that in the US the pcx does not come with the idling sistem.

The same thought occured to me as well.kramnala58 wrote:Where is your seller located? Are you sure he is legitimate and you haven't been taken by a scam artist? I sure hope not. All the best to you.
Mel46 wrote:So you are purchasing a 2014 PCX that is a model meant for sale in the United States? Well, lets see if I can give you some clarification. There was no 2014 model for the United States. From 2011 through 2013 the model was the same, with a few changes. They decided not to sell a 2014 model in the United States, but instead completely revised the 2015 model, though the engine is basically the same. There is a gearing change but otherwise it is still the same. It is definitely a liquid cooled engine. Honda has both a 125cc and a 150cc version of PCX, but the engines are very similar.

There never has been a PCX that was air cooled. That is not to say that Honda never made an air cooled engine. They definitely have. However, the PCX itself was not produced with an air cooled engine.
The differences between the model made for the United States and other countries has more to do with the speedometer, start-stop switch and smog emission than the engine itself.
I hope I have clarified this a little. If an individual is telling you that it has an air cooled engine, you should first make sure you and he are talking about a Honda PCX. Then point him to the web link I included.

The North American market PCXs do not have idle stop.
Your seller is either mistaken or a liar.

See the photo from the service manual. The radiator is on the lower left.
If you look at the bike, you will see the radiator cover just in front of the oil filler and muffler.
No way kramnala58, i have bought my previous honda scooter in the same dealer without problems, the problem was the scooter itselfkramnala58 wrote:Where is your seller located? Are you sure he is legitimate and you haven't been taken by a scam artist? I sure hope not. All the best to you.
I fix my previous Honda scooter and now it has 3cm more of ground clearance, and now its Ok no problems at all, i know the pcx ground clearance is 138 mm i believe there will be no problems ... Hope sogn2 wrote:PCX ground clearance isn't much better.
