Valve clearance done!
I'm having to self isolate, due to my daughter catching covid, so I'm using the time wisely. My PCX 125 has just hit 5000 miles, so I thought it was about time I bit the bullet and got the feeler gauge out. Stripping the plastics was time consuming, but I didn't want to snap any fixings, I found tha...

Re: How many miles do you have on your PCX
My 2018 pcx is just coming up to it's 3rd birthday and has done 4500 miles to and from work without missing a beat.

Re: 2021 Honda PCX "160"
I can't see why the complication and expense of a rear disc brake is needed on a lightweight scooter.
I find the rear drum brake works just fine.

Re: One Year Living with the Honda Forza 2018: the Bottom Li
I went in to my local Honda dealer recently, hoping to test ride and maybe purchase a Forza 300.
However, they had sold out and the salesman told me that Honda UK had run out of stock too, due to the slowdown of manufacturing due to covid19.
He said my best bet was to come back after Christmas!

Re: Back tire has a slow leak I can't find. What to do?
I had a slow puncture on my car, so I removed the wheel and sprayed soapy water over both beads but couldn't find a leak. I went all round the tyre, checked the valve but found nothing. As I was refitting the wheel, I suddenly had a brainwave and sprayed the base of the valve where it met the wheel ...

Re: insurance higher then my more powerfull piaggio
My Piaggio 250 Evo has a factory fitted immobiliser which makes it unuseable if stolen.
The PCX however is a very popular scooter with the scrotes, and is highly nickable!

Re: First 250 miles I'm hooked!
I took my 2018 pcx for a fourty mile run last week, and managed to squeeze out 150 mpg at a steady pace.

Re: How many miles do you have on your PCX
I've just carried out my first 12 month service on my 2018 PCX, and the mileage was 1605.
It's living in a garage with three other bikes of various sizes, so doesn't get used a lot of the time. At this rate, it should outlast me.

Re: How long can the battery last without being started?
I own a 2004 ford Mondeo, and amazingly it still has the original battery fitted. It's used regularly and still has no problems starting in the winter.

Re: First look on the Hybrid PCX 2019 Thailand
I can hardly see the point of a hybrid, when a stock 125 will do 135+ mpg or more with a gentle right hand.

Re: Michelin City Grips
I've fitted city grips on my Piaggio x9 250 Evo, and they've been superb. So I was glad to find them fitted to my new pcx when I went to see it in the showroom before purchase.

Re: First service day UK
My scrooge-like nature won, and I did my own first service at about 520 miles last week. £75 for less than a litre of quality oil is too much for me to stomach, I'm afraid. I bought enough Shell fully synthetic 5w30 sufficient for five oil changes for £20. And yes, I love this little scooter too! :D

Re: Mileage of your PCX
I've had mine from new since the beginning of June this year, and only have 550 miles on it. I've just done the first oil change as the mileage will start to increase steeply when I start a new job.

Re: Coolant replacement procedure
Thanks for the info. I'm pretty fussy about servicing and getting everything just right, so maybe I'm worrying about nothing. Anyway, I took my scoot for a good run tonight and everything was fine. The level in the header tank was just above max when I got home due to the expansion of the coolant wh...
