As every diligent new member should, i have tried to read all the posts pertaining to my PCX. One common theme I keep seeing is people saying how useless the parking brake is, especially when driving off and leaving it on. The parking brake has two uses, one to hold the scooter still when needing both both hands to light a cigarette at a stop light, and secondly to hold the scooter in place when parking on an incline....both on the sidestand and on the center stand. This video demonstrates what happens when the parking brake is not set (yes , in a car)
When a car is at a stop there is a pencil sized pin called a park pawl that holds the vehicle...one tap and away she goes with no park brake applied. Same as a scooter, one tap and away she goes...which is why i like to use the brake.
With this super new product, i clip it on the park brake lever to remind me i left it on. i also clip it on the front brake disc lock on my motorcycle...same purpose.
Warning !!! Do not clip it on your wifes shoelace, belt loop or nose ring to keep from forgetting them.
