Re: New owner - first mods and where to get parts in Austral

Webike and ebay. Forget everywhere else as there's nothing off the shelf. Even Supercrapauto et al will not stock any MB rated oils for scooters. Also don't expect miracles. It is still a small scooter although it can make a good take off at the lights.

98RON all the way. It's barely $1 difference per tank anyway.

Re: headlight upgrade

Is it 1 LED or 2 per "bulb"? Also can you show us the light front on with the cutoff beams?

You'll need the headset checked because that's generally the cause of it.

Re: ENGINE GUARD

They're basically the oggy knob equivalent for the right side of the bike. Looks like it fits under the exhaust as so

Re: Mobius vs. Go Pro? - Helmet or Bike Mount?

Been there, done that. Not a fan of having potential camera become a hook rather than letting me slide in an accident.

Re: Mobius vs. Go Pro? - Helmet or Bike Mount?

I'm still playing around with the mount and I've now used a clamp mount on the handlebars which is then mounted to those vibration reducing things used for drones then attached to the GoPro but what I'm finding is that the camera has eliminated the idle vibrations but it bounces like a yoyo on bumps...

I noticed no difference between the Honda HP4M and Mobil 1 5W30. Fuel economy appears to be the same.

Re: Comparison of the 2013 PCX 150 and 2014 Forza 300 – US V

With the underseat storage, my understanding is that the Forza can take 2 large helmets (my large helmet is 58-60cm). Everytime I've been at the bike shop to sticky beak at a new bike, they've never had the keys to the Forza so I couldn't test it. Does the large helmet not fit under the seat? It som...

Re: Brake LED replacing the rear reflector

I somewhat agree that these aren't worth installing because of the lack of lumens. Possibly they'd only be good as parking lights and nothing else but for a few dollars including postage, I don't know if I could have expected anything more.

Re: Starting the PCX

Sure feels immediate and no lag to start. I'm happy to put it on idle stop and do a hard start at the lights yet not feel like I've got any lag from the time I wait the throttle to the time the bike moves

Re: New Tires and New Mods....

That Diablo looks like the grip should be good, although to be fair the stock IRC's during this very wet and frosty weather in the UK seem to be better than was made out - at least for town use and 30-40 mph roads and bends. Getting a bid worried now with heavy rain and freezing over-night conditio...
