I used baling wire, spread the spring using flat bladed screwdriver and insert a two inch lof baling wire into each coil gap It worked well, Hope this help...

Re: Battery for 2018 PCX 125 UK

Thanks for replying, I've also had Yuasa although not quite at this price. I can't find the age of the Yuasa batteries as both of them don't seem to have date stamps that make any sense,or actually are date stamps. Think I'll try the cheap ones, you're right about the warranty,not worth worrying abo...

Battery for 2018 PCX 125 UK

Hi all, I have already replaced my battery (a Yuasa) once on my 2018 PCX, and now it needs another one, the charging system is fine,and there's no parasitic draw. As the battery cost over £80, I am thinking of replacing it with a cheap make that has a 2 year warranty rather than the one year Yuasa g...

Re: Fuel fill door works intermittently

Tap the fuel flap at the same time as operating the switch, my 2018 model does this, tried cleaning/lubricating but can be embarrassing at the pumps if it sticks. One of the few cheap and nasty things I’ve found with mine.

Re: Citygrip 2 tyres

Well, all done , I used a torque wrench, I wouldn’t use the impact driver to tighten anything . Test rode , no problems, hopefully won’t get another puncture, fingers crossed. Nice talking to you

Re: Citygrip 2 tyres

Thanks for that, did you torque the hub nut? Luckily I had an impact driver bought from Lidl last year to shift it. Just waiting to take tyre to garage, then might put it back together tonight, have to get some Loctite though.

Citygrip 2 tyres

I have ordered a new rear tyre for my 2018 PCX 125, it’s a Michelin Citygrip 2, apparently they are now front/rear compatible with an up rated speed index. The original got a puncture well over a year ago, I plugged it, and have had no air loss for all that time, noticed a slow leak the other day, s...

Thanks for all the tips, she’s only been on the back twice, first time me on first holding bike, almost as above, 2nd time with the kickstand as stated.

Re: Kick/side stand strength for pillion

Thanks, just tried it with me holding the bike on left and wife getting on the right hand side, it didn’t bend the stand, but I’m not really happy about it. Didn’t dare show wife “it won’t take the weight”

Re: First warranty claim, condensation in dash

Just heard from my dealer, (who is still locked down) that Honda have approved warranty claim, apparently for the whole speedometer assembly, they will let me know when the part arrives and can be fitted. Strange if it is the whole assembly, not that I’m complaining, really just want to ride and esc...

Re: Roll Call

Ok in Cornwall but can’t use scooter for unnecessary travel, my Honda dealer closed for duration so can’t check on warranty claim for dash condensation.
