love the way the engine starts
with out a conventional starter it is so quiet when the PCX starts, it starts like a Hybrid.

This same "Love" can be extremely aggravating if/when it doesn't start also...at least with an actual starter it can be "cranked over".....jkhawaii wrote:with out a conventional starter it is so quiet when the PCX starts, it starts like a Hybrid.

The ACG starter in the PCX is far less likely to fail than a conventional one. (no moving parts)

Re: love the way the engine starts
I was wondering about that. How the heck DOES it start?
On my scoot, getting there is WAY more than half the fun!

The alternator turns the engine over.

Re: love the way the engine starts
I'm assuming then that, should it fail to turn over, jumping the battery is the only way to get going again? One can push-start an automatic (or you used to be able to anyway), but you have to get 'er going scary fast for it to work.

Re: love the way the engine starts
You can't push start an auto scooter because of the way the centrifugal clutch works.
