Re: Tired of Buying Tyres

OK now I'm confused, I have heard the same about putting a tube in a tubeless tyre before but had no problems when I did,tull I got another flat shortly after which is the problem in the first place. It is so frustrating I can't put it into words, 4 punctures in 12 months is just unheard of from wha...

Re: Tired of Buying Tyres

UPDATE - I have got the bike going in for a tube to be installed in the rear Tyre, with the amount of issues I have had in the amount of time I have had and the fact i cannot change my commute route much, I fear that if I go and buy the Michelin City Grips, which will be fine for a short period of t...

Re: Tired of Buying Tyres

Thanks guys, I will hold out on the new tyres, been quoted £20 to pit a tube in the rear tyre so I will do that for now and see how I go, I will try the spit /soapy water method as well

Re: First impressions

Id disagree to an extent on the putz comment, As the PCX looks so different head on to most other scooters, I have some big bike riders tipping their head down to have a look as they go past, as they are wondering what it is. I think the only thing that lets the PCX down on the looks front is how sk...

Re: Tired of Buying Tyres

Hi guys, thanks for you advice, as you can imagine it is so damn annoying the amount of times it has happened. Anything that stops me enjoying my bike infuriates me! I do agree with Mel64, it most likely is construction works as in Nottingham over the last 24 months there has been a lot! They are in...

Re: Hello all - Deposit paid on PCX 125

isnt there a law that states if you passed your car driving test before a certain year you automatically gain a 125 licence as well?? so a CBT isnt necessary?

I could be wrong..but i am sure there is something like that

Re: New PCX Owner - needs advice

@RichyP Thanks for the advice, I was planning a trip into Plymouth and tried what you suggested and it came up with lots of places to park, mostly for free too :D So it looks like it's just the smaller places that aren't very clear where you can park, most of the coastal towns / villages in Cornwal...

Re: Break in and increasing fuel economy

For a 2013, the last bar means you have .4 gallon remaining. Apx 40 miles to go. When the bar begins to flash, you have 20-30 miles remaining. I drove mine to empty one time and don't plan on doing that again. I found out that the size of the gas tank is exactly what it says in the owners manual. t...

Re: Break in and increasing fuel economy

With my previous Scoots on an analogue reading, i knew how long i could go before having to fill up (NOT that I would ever run my bike with not enough fuel mind) I get upto about 40-45 miles before I lose any bars on the digital fuel dash at all,then it decreases down to about 2/3 around 70-80 then ...
